Master Thesis Documentation of the Lower Bath in Metropolis, Torbalı, Izmir for the Assessment of Heritage Characteristics(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2013) Büyükkılıç, Suna; Hamamcıoğlu Turan, Mine; Turan, Mine; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThe study evaluates the excavation results of the Lower Bath and Palaestra in the archaeological site of Metropolis, Torbalı, İzmir with an eye on its original qualities and alterations. In fact, the understanding of the alterations will enable one to take conscious decisions for the preservation of the bath ruins. First, the existing scaled drawings of the Bath ruins were gathered and evaluated. Then, the historical background of the Roman Bath buildings was investigated. Rectified image mosaics based on photogrammetric survey are combined with plan, sections and elevations based on tachometric survey. In addition, a 3D model of the present state of the building was produced based on photogrammetric and tachometric survey. The 2D representations were used for mapping the original elements and the altered ones. The obtained data is supported with historical research and comparative study of similar buildings. The end results are presented in large appended tables. In turn, the heritage characteristics of the Lower Bath ("Aşağı Hamam" or "Han Yıkığı) in Metropolis, Yeniköy, Torbalı, İzmir is documented in detail. The Lower Bath has an asymmetrical plan organisation. It is middle in scale (812 m2). It is a typical example of the Roman Baths dated to between 2nd and 4th century. Its original features were sustained onwards. However perception of its third dimension has been demolished. It is important to plan a documentation study systematically as parallel to the excavation studies and to develop conservation decisions.Master Thesis Refunctioning Of Old Tanneries İn Kuşadası, Aydın(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2006) Teket, Zeynep Gülden; Hamamcıoğlu Turan, Mine; Turan, Mine; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyThis study aims to survey, analyse and evaluate the old tannery site in Kuadası, Aydın; and to propose a refunctioning scheme for the continuation of its survival. An application project for the conservation of this site has been developed by Göç-Tur Firm, which has rented the site from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for 49 years.This thesis questions Göç-Tur.s project and develops an academic approach for the conservation problem. It claims that determination of an appropriate function for the site should be based on evaluations at tannery unit and site scales. Detailed analysis is a prerequisite for understanding of values and problems. The refunctioning scheme should consider urban requirements, reuse preferences, theoretical scope and structural necessities.The built cultural heritage in Kuadası has been continuously damaged as a result of mass tourism and the absence of forward planning. Within this context, the old tannery site is a significant potential for Kuadası as it still preserves the modest design character based on human scale and the original solid-void organization with minimum alterations. Moreover, the traditional leather production process documented via these tanneries is itself a value. When refunctioning decisions are determined mostly with the employer preferences rather than detailed analysis and evaluation phases, these decisions may be incompatible with the case potential. In turn, the appropriate function for the tannery site has been clarified after deciphering its urban and documentary values; and also spatial and structural problems within the frame of contemporary theory of conservation. Consequently, refunctioning of the discussed tannery site as a commercial district with the association of leather goods has been achieved.
