    Conservation Aimed Evaluation of the Bath Ruin in Gülbahçe, Urla, İzmir
    (01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2021) Çağlıyurt, Aslı; Turan, Mine
    This study takes into consideration a historic geothermal spring bath house on the coast of Gülbahçe bay in Urla, İzmir. The aim is to identify its cultural asset values and architectural conservation problems. Gülbahçe thermal spring bath house is a historic monument that has preserved its bathing function for health purpose. It is part of the geothermal spring bath group in Urla-Seferihisar region, which is famous with its geothermal sources. The modest structure has preserved its authentic characteristics such as rubbles tone masonry walls exposed without plastering and dimly lighted bathing space circumscribing a pool. Its rubble stone and cement mortar vault reflect the repair attitude of the early Republican era. The monument integrates with its natural setting in between a Mediterranean coated mount and the coast. So, the methodology includes tachometric documentation of the bath house, its visual analysis, historical research and archive research, identification of similar bath houses in Urla-Seferihisar region, comparative study with these similar bath houses, evaluation of the cultural asset values and conservation problems, and proposal for restoration of the bath house.it represents the thermal bathing tradition in the geothermal region of Urla-Seferihisar together with the other baths in Cumalı, Karakoç, Kelalan and Ilıksu. Being positioned within the campus area of İzmir Institute of Technology gives privilege to the monument in terms of its restoration possibility. It will be first scientifically restored thermal spring bath house in its region. As a result, this study carries importance in terms of understanding of the Gülbahçe geothermal spring bath house, and illuminate the way for future studies on vernacular Anatolian bath houses.

    Conservation Proposals for Historical Özbek Bath, Urla
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Yağcı, Damla; İpekoğlu, Başak
    Özbek Bath is one of the Ottoman baths in Urla that has survived until today that is considered to have been built in the 15th century or 16th century. The building is an indicator of the identity of the Özbek Village in the past together with the historical laundries, fountains and bridges. The bath is a cultural heritage that needs to be protected with its domed and vaulted superstructure, plan layout consisting of two private bathing cells opening to the warm space/hot space, water reservoir and woodshed, copper boiler embedded in the flooring of the water reservoir, sitting platforms and stone basins. The bath substantially maintains its original qualities with its construction technique and material use. The dressing space and toilet, wooden roof of the woodshed of the building, which has not been used since 1970, have totally collapsed. The upper parts of the walls of the east and west facades, and the walls of the woodshed, courtyard and chimney are partially collapsed. The bath has architectural, historical, environmental, traditional, documentary and originality values, however, its current structural problems require intervention. The purpose of this study is to document the architectural and structural qualities of the structure that are present today and to develop conservation recommendations taking the original qualities and problems into consideration. The method of the study includes literature research and documentation study based on field study. The study includes intervention decisions for the re-functioning and protection of the structure and for its repair conserving its original qualities. It is recommended that the structure should regain its use as a bath taking the views of the residents of the village on the bath and the regional, socio-cultural requirements into consideration. With this approach, decisions were developed for the reconstruction of the collapsed dressing space and toilet, repair of the partial missing and deformations in line with the original architectural qualities. The intervention decisions will contribute to the protection of the Özbek Bath as a cultural heritage.

    Plaster Characteristics of Historic Eski Hamam in Aydın
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Gürhan, Fatma; Böke, Hasan
    Aydın Eski Hamam is a typical example of Ottoman period bath buildings. It had been built during 15th-16th centuries, and subjected to extensive interventions by present. The building was registered in 2001, and excavation, cleaning and measured surveys were carried out in 2016-2017. The aim of this study is to determine the characteristics of the horasan and lime plasters of Eski Hamam. Within this purpose, horasan and lime plasters, joint mortars and building bricks were collected from the bath. Basic physical properties, raw material compositions, microstructural and hydraulic properties of plasters, mineralogical and chemical compositions of binders and aggregates, and pozzolanic activities of aggregates were determined by standard test methods, XRD and SEM-EDS analyses in order to shed light on the restoration implementations. The results revealed that all the studied samples were of low density and high porosity. Physical, chemical and microstructural properties of plasters did not differ according to the space, level and layer they had been used. Horasan plasters had been prepared by using pure lime and brick aggregates. Lime plasters used on the upper levels had been produced by using pure lime and small amount of fine sand. Horasan plasters were hydraulic due to the use of pozzolanic aggregates. Brick aggregates had been manufactured by using raw material sources containing high amounts of clay minerals, and fired at low temperatures. Lime plasters and mortars had hydraulic properties due to the use of pozzolanic natural aggregates.

    Structural Conservation of Cevher Paşa Bath in Kale, Denizli
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Durmuşlar, Feyza; Turan, Mine; Aktaş, Engin
    The study has focused on structural conservation of a historical monument in an archeological site. Cevher Paşa Bath, which is located in Kale (ancient Tabae) archeological site in Denizli and dated to the 15th century, is selected as the case study. The aim of the study is to propose a framework for structural conservation of the ruins of Cevher Paşa Bath so that conservation work regarding similar masonry ruins in archeological sites belonging to Turkish period can be guided. First, the bath was documented by using 3D Laser Scanner. Then, historical and theoretical framework including development of baths, loads of masonry buildings and evaluation of interventions in similar cases was constituted. Characteristics of the case study was defined in terms of location, landform, history, site and mass characteristics, architectural features, structural characteristics, structural calculations and alteration analysis. Condition report of the bath was prepared in form of tables. To identify original state of the bath, restitution was carried out. Nevertheless, the restoration approach is not reintegration, but only consolidation and presentation in order to sustain integrity with the archaeological site whole. Therefore, to prevent further damages, emergency interventions such as temporary shoring are proposed. Structural calculations have revealed that strength of the walls corresponds to stresses and overturning moment. So, the restoration work includes only supporting of arch remains and the weakest corner of the bath, which was determined by calculations. Some walls of the ruin are weaker than other parts. These parts need further analysis by civil engineers, and if necessary, consolidation can be carried out. The monument management plan points out the necessity of collaboration of Kale Municipality, RT Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Aydın Regional Council for Conservation of Cultural Assets, Directorate of Excavations in General Directorate of Cultural Assets and Museums, Aydın Conservation Implementation and Inspection Office, Department of Architectural Restoration and Department of Civil Engineering of IZTECH and History of Art Department of Ege University, and monitoring of the changes the bath four times in every year.
