    Belonging to the Late Ottoman Period, the mosques of Hisarlık and Yiğenli villages are the examples of rural architecture in the villages around İzmir. Although damaged severely, they kept their original features since they were not altered much. They were selected as the subject of the thesis for the purpose of a better understanding of the characteristics of Aegean rural architecture. The aim of the thesis is to document, examine their problems at present and propose intervention decisions for their preservations. For this purpose, their architectural and constructional characteristics, existing situations and alterations they have undergone are determined by the measurements, photographical documentation and visual observations which were performed through field surveys. Restitution proposals have been prepared by a comparative study which includes the examination of the historic rural mosques visited in close by villages and other mosques from different parts of Aegean Region through literature search. Intervention decisions which formed the restoration proposals are developed in the light of information from field surveys, literary sources and comparative study. Contemporary principles of restoration implementations based on scientific studies and realities of social and physical environments where these mosques took place have been taken into consideration for interventions. Both mosques are located in the central spots that can be considered as gathering spaces of the inhabitants. By the proposals, both mosques are expected to rejoin the daily life of the villages and while preserving their authentic values.

    The building selected to be studied is the tower house of the Ganić Family. The standing portion, at the edge of a total collapse, is located in Rožaje Town in the eastern part of Montenegro. Besides the analysis of tower houses, an overall analysis of historical houses in Montenegro was also done as a step in the development of housing concept in this region. Case study building was evaluated together with the physical and historical characteristics of the area and the period that these buildings belonged. Information obtained by the survey was used for the description and analytical evaluation of the building in terms of; architectural elements, spatial characteristics, construction techniques, material use, structural failures, material deteriorations and alterations. In order to understand the original state of the building better, other tower houses in the region were also investigated and their characteristics were compared with the characteristics of Ganić House. Together with historical research, the results of comparative analysis, which were obtained by different reliability degrees for the components and elements missing or unknown at present, was utilized for the restitution of the house. The information obtained in the restitution phase was used as the base for the determination of intervention decisions in restoration phase, which became the conclusion of the study. The new function, proposed restoration project, is hoped to be beneficial for the owners and the building itself while providing an active use by the citizens for educational, as well as, recreation purpose.
