Conservation of the Historic Greek School of Agios Ioannis Theologos (saint John the Theologian) and the Multicultural Settlement in Its Vicinity in Kemeraltı, İzmir
(2023) Yazgan, Nur Sena; İpekoğlu, Başak
The historical environments of cities transform over time based on changing lifestyles and needs. The settlements where different ethnic groups live together also differentiate with the changing social structure and migrations over time. As a result, many buildings in such areas are abandoned and not functioning. In this regard, Sakarya Neighbourhood in Konak, Izmir, where different ethnic groups such as Christians, Jews, and Muslims lived together in the past, is of historical and cultural significance. In this selected case some of the important historical buildings have completely disappeared and some of them are ruined. Among these buildings, the restoration project prepared for the Greek School is in the implementation phase. In this regard, the aim of this study is to evaluate the restoration project prepared in 2019 and its implementation process, which started in 2022, of the Greek School that is located within the Urban Conservation Site and 3rd Degree Archaeological Site. Within the scope of the study, this building and its surroundings are analyzed and conservation problems and values are determined. The restoration process of the Greek School is an initiator and generator implementation for the conservation process in the area, but in the three years after the project was prepared, the deterioration processes and damages to the building increased and the original architectural elements were lost. As a result of this study, the interventions made during the implementation of the restoration project were introduced and evaluated at the building scale. At the environmental scale, the value and problems of the buildings were examined and the restoration of ruined and structurally poor buildings and the re-function of abandoned buildings were proposed.
Assessment of Conservation Interventions at Bouleuteria in Anatolia
(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Tekin, Tuğçe; İpekoğlu, Başak
Various conservation implementations are carried out in archaeological sites reflecting the settlement characteristics and values of the area where they are located. It is seen that conservation implementations are commonly carried out in theatres, temples, fountains, baths, churches and bouleuteria. Bouleuteria are council buildings generally planned close to the theatre and in connection with the agora. These structures with a public function, where public assembly convened, have a square or semi-circular plan, and are covered. Bouleuteria bear importance as they were frequently used during the Greek and Hellenistic periods. During the Roman period, the need for this type of structure faded away and the existing bouleuteria were utilised as odeions. Some of the bouleuteria are used today for open-air gatherings, and for this reason conservation implementations are carried out. In this study, the architectural features of the Bouleuteria of Iasos, Patara, Ephesus, and Kibyra and the impacts of the conservation implementations were examined. The effects of implementations changed depending on whether the scale of the implementation was partial or comprehensive. The materials and techniques used also varied according to their compatibility with the authentic condition. As a result of the evaluation criteria, it has been determined that conservation of original values at the structure scale can be achieved by making plans depending on the condition of the original remains.
Investigation of the Indoor Microclimate of Historic Agios Voukolos (aziz Vukolos) Church in İzmir To Determine and Imporve Thermal Comfort Conditions
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2022) Akın Yalçın, Damla; İpekoğlu, Başak
The conservation of the historical building by improving the thermal comfort conditions contributes to the reuse of the buildings. Besides thermal improvement, the authentic values of the historical building should be taken into consideration. The aim of this thesis is to examine the effects of indoor microclimate characteristics of historic Agios Voukolos Church on the occupants and the wall paintings of the building, and to bring improvement suggestions that consider the values of the historical church by evaluating the thermal comfort conditions. The method of the study consists of on-site examination, on-site measurements of microclimate parameters, calculations and surveys. Air temperature, relative humidity, air velocity and mean radiant temperature measurements were conducted. In order to determine thermal comfort level, Predicted Mean Vote (PMV)–Predicted Percentage Dissatisfied (PPD) method developed by Fanger (1967, 1970) was used and survey studies were carried out during activities in winter. The threshold values specified in the ISO 7730:2005 and EN 16798-1:2019 standards were taken into account. According to the calculations, it was understood that the occupants felt warm in July and August, and cold in November through March. Survey study conducted in winter also confirmed that occupants are not satisfied with thermal comfort conditions. Additionally, respective UNI 10829:1999 standard and the decree published by the Italian Ministry of Culture in 2001 were used to determine the effect of indoor microclimate on wall paintings and ornaments. As a result, secondary glazing system, nighttime ventilation and radiant heaters were suggested for thermal improvement.
Evaluation of Window Design and Daylight Performance of Main Room in Kula Houses
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Battal, Cansu; İpekoğlu, Başak; Kazanasmaz, Tuğçe
When developing restoration decisions for conservation of historic houses, determination of daylight performance of the spaces is important for new usage proposals. Among the rooms located around sofa in Anatolian historical houses, main room is the most spectacular space. It should have sufficient and homogeneously distributed daylight in restored houses. This study aims to examine daylight performance of main room and preserve original lighting features in restoration and re-functioning decisions. For this purpose, Kaçıklar, Zabunlar, Kestaneciler and Zühtü Bey Houses, were selected as examples for the research. Daylight performance measurements were taken in main rooms in all seasons, in the morning, at noon, in late afternoon using an illuminance meter. As a result of the study, it was determined that illumination was not sufficient for all seasons in unrestored Kaçıklar House, sufficient for all seasons in unrestored Zabunlar House, in restored Kestaneciler House, also sufficient in restored Zühtü Bey House in autumn whereas insufficient in other seasons. In Kaçıklar House, opening the window that was closed, cleaning the paint on top windows, selecting a light-coloured wall finish material will positively affect lighting values. In restored Zühtü Bey House, the window, converted into a built-in cupboard, and the closed top window to be restored to original state and cleaning of improper paint on the top windows on the south wall will affect the lighting level positively. This study is important in terms of determining specific daylight illumination properties of historical houses and underlines the improvement of repair and conservation decisions.

(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2020) Çakmur, Tuncer Çağrı; İpekoğlu, Başak
Çakmur Houses building group, that was constructed in the middle of the 19th century, extended with additional spaces and went through various repair works during the 20th century, are one of the rare constructions in the region with its original architectural space and elements. Çakmur Houses are related with the population movements due to Ottoman-Russian wars that took place in South Caucasus in the 19th and 20th centuries. Çakmur Houses located in Gaziler (Bardız) village of Şenkaya district of Erzurum consists of three house structures, two of which adjacent to each other, and the other ancillary spaces around these residences. Residents, that changed due to the wars after the 19th century, constructed both new buildings and added new spaces to existing buildings in Bardız and its surroundings. Çakmur Houses consist of original structures built in this way. The building group was damaged in the Şenkaya earthquake that occurred in 1999. The restoration of Çakmur Houses, registered as an immovable cultural asset in 2008, was completed in 2012. The purpose of this study to analyse the values of the building group and to investigate and evaluate the technical, administrative and legal decisions made during the conservation process according to the international charters, the law numbered 2863 and the principle decisions of Supreme Council for the Conservation of Immovable Cultural Assets. Investigating the steps followed during conservation process of a rural building group will contribute to the prevention of possible similar problems that might occur during the restoration of similar building groups.
Conservation Proposals for Historic Mithatpaşa Military Hospital Izmir
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Hayretdağ, Hülya; İpekoğlu, Başak
Modernization movements have led to significant changes particularly in the military field as well as administrative, educational and health fields in the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century. The first studies in the modernization process became effective in the formation of military architecture by changing the military organization and army order. In the 19th century, military structures such as barracks, hospitals and schools were built to meet the needs of the new regular army. Therefore, essential changes in the field of health during the modernization process were first applied in the military field. Historic Mithatpaşa Military Hospital is a rare example of the Neoclassical architectural features of the Ottoman military health buildings constructed outside of İstanbul during the modernization process. It was built on Mithatpaşa Street in 1891 as Hamidiye Military Hospital to meet the health services of Asakir-i Mansure Barracks, known as Sarı Kışla, which was built during the modernization process in İzmir. The building, which continued to serve health service until moving to its new location on İnönü Street in 1971, was used for various military services until 1988. Then, it was used as a warehouse for many years and lack of maintenance caused the building to be dilapidated. The building, which was transferred to İzmir Katip Çelebi University in 2012 and a restoration project was prepared, is currently under construction. The historic building has preserved most of its original planning features with large patient wards and its Neoclassical facade features. The most significant issues identified in the structure are the unqualified additions made over time and the removal of the original elements. The aim of this study is examining the architectural features of the building, determining the values and developing the conservation proposals. The method of the study is field study, archive and literature research. Within the scope of the study, it was proposed to use the building, which was built as a hospital and is currently used by university, as a Medical Simulation Center, after the restoration process. The proposed function will contribute to the preservation of the historic Mithatpaşa Military Hospital as a cultural heritage.
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.
Assessment of Izmir Halkapınar Water Pump Station for Its Conservation as Industrial Heritage
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Şener, İdil Ece; İpekoğlu, Başak
New technologies have been used in water distribution as a result of the modernization brought about by the Industrial Revolution started in Europe in the 18th century. Ottoman Empire also benefited from the technologies when granted privileges to foreign companies to establish water supplies in the port cities. Among these companies, “La Compagnie Ottomane des Eaux de Smyrne” (Ottoman Water Company of İzmir) built Halkapınar Water Pump Station building in İzmir in 1898. The building, which still maintains its original function, is located within the facility of İzmir Water and Sewerage Administration (İZSU) in Halkapınar. It consists of the main pump building and two outbuildings The aim of this study is to analyse the values and problems of the structure and to develop a conservation proposal. The method applied in the study is field survey, archives and literature research. It is a rare example of surviving industrial heritage and has a significance in reflecting the technological developments in water distribution in the 19th century. The problems of the building are poor quality additions and removals implemented throughout the years. As a result of the study, it is proposed to maintain the original function of the building, to remove poor quality additions in the main pump station and on the original outbuilding, to rearrange the original features, and open to public visitation. The proposed interventions considering the values of the building will contribute to the conservation and exhibition of the building as an industrial heritage.
Assessment of Conservation Problems of Historic Damlacık District, Konak, Izmir
(Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Gökçınar Balkan, Pınar; İpekoğlu, Başak; Akpınar, Figen
Damlacık District with a history dating back to Roman Period is one of the oldest Turkish settlement areas from the 17th century in Kemeraltı neighborhood of İzmir. The district, preserving its historical settlement texture until today, having a bay view together with its centuries old trees located within green areas has environmental and architectural features that need to be protected. Interventions to be carried out in this area having the historical, cultural and architectural indicators of the city’s past identity, should not lead to the loss of its values. Konak-Yeşildere Tunnel, the excavation of which started in 2011 and completed in 2015, connected Konak to Yeşildere passing under the north-south direction of Damlacık District. The aim of this study is to investigate the increasing damage in Damlacık District, due to the construction of Konak-Yeşildere Tunnel, located in an Urban and 3rd Degree Archaeological Site with its historical and traditional features, and consequently to develop conservation proposals. Within the scope of the study, the area was sub-divided into smaller zones considering the diversity and distribution of commercial and residential use in Damlacık District, its protected and altered characteristics, social and physical effects of the tunnel in the area. The district was examined from environmental, architectural and social aspects; intervention decisions were developed by assessing its values and problems. As a result, revitalization of Damlacık District through structural measures, social projects and restoration projects starting from the tunnel route and its surroundings, establishing a project and implementation unit under the supervision of local administration, restoration of the remaining registered and sugessted for registry structures in the tunnel route and restoration of the selected historical houses for adaptive reuse by residents were proposed.
Conservation and Presentation of Greco-Roman Temple Remains in Western Anatolia: a Critical Assessment on Selected Examples Through the Concept of Anastelosis
(01. Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Toköz, Özge Deniz; İpekoğlu, Başak
Anastelosis, a conservation and presentation technique in archaeological sites, is the practice of reassembling the scattered original parts of the structures. It can be stated that anastelosis ensures a better protection of the architectural fragments by re-placing them in their original places and contributes to the necessity of conservation practice by providing three-dimensional information about the structures. The aim of this study was, to contribute to the conservation and presentation of the structures in archaeological sites and to determine the basic principles to be considered during the implementations by analysing and evaluating the anastelosis implementations in Western Anatolia. Accordingly, anastelosis examples of Ancient Greek and Roman period temple structures that had significance in polis and sanctuaries were selected from Western Anatolia. Method of the study was on-site examination of the implementations, archive and literature research and evaluation of the information obtained from excavation reports prepared by the excavation team. In the evaluation, anastelosis principles, within the framework of international conservation documents and publications, were determined as emphasis of the structure within site scale and in original state, structural and visual integrity of the monument, authenticity, reliability, distinguishability, visual and material compatibility, reversibility and re-treatability. It can be stated that the implementations examined, in line with these principles, emphasized the importance of the temples in ancient times, contributed to better conservation of the scattered structure elements and transfer of information concerning the constructions. However, in some cases, the implementation has transformed to restoration or reconstruction as the authenticity principle could not be met; the temple became dominant than its original due to the inability to emphasize the structure within site principle; the mass of the temple could not be perceived due to lack of integrity principle; and the implementations that need to be redone have been identified as the use of new materials damaged the original elements.
