    (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.

    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Alsancak, Handan; İpekoğlu, Başak; Akpınar, Figen; İpekoğlu, Başak; Akpınar, Figen
    The settlement located in the Historical Peninsula and around the Süleymaniye Külliye has an urban historical texture composed of Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman ruins and structures. Today, the area between Süleymaniye Külliyesi and İstanbul Textile Traders’ Market is gradually losing its traditional texture characteristics as a result of unqualified interventions, changes in land use and dilapidation. The aim of this study is to analyze the values and problems of the settlement, which was identified as the World Heritage Site and to develop interventions for preserving and sustaining the area with its traditional characteristics. Within the scope of the study, sub-zones were determined by considering the distribution of historical structures in the area, traditional texture characteristics, change and originality in the settlement texture, diversity and distribution of commercial and residential use, conservation and change characteristics. Intervention decisions were developed by evaluating the environmental, architectural and socially examined values and problems. As a result of the study, pedestrianization of the streets with heavy vehicular traffic, design of the registered empty plots, used for parking, as a reinforcement area, design of Emir Madrasah plot as an informative exhibition area about the monument are some interventions on the area scale. On the building scale, restoration of the ruined monuments, use of monumental buildings in accordance with their original use were proposed, building specifications based on building height and footprint for new buildings were determined for the entire commercial area around Kirazlı Mescit Street.

    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.

    Evaluation Of Conservation Problems Of Anaia Byzantine Church, Kadıkalesi, Kuşadası
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2015) Kanmaz, Mehmet Buğra; İpekoğlu, Başak
    Anaia Church, which is thought to have been in use from the Early Byzantine Period to the Late Byzantine Period, is located in Kadıkalesi, Kuşadası. Kadıkalesi is a Byzantine Period fortification that it is thought to be built to protect harbour of Anaia ancient city, which was a bishopric throughout the Byzantine Period. Today, the three aisled basilical planned church is in state of ruin and excavations are on going in the area. The building reflects architectural planning, construction technique and architectural element features from the 5th century to the 14th century, was determined as the subject of this thesis to document and develop a conservation proposal. The study began with field survey and the building was documented with drawings and photographs. Planning, constrcution technique, architectural elements and the conservation problems of the building were evaluated and finally a conservation approach was developed in accordance with the data obtained throughout the study. In the analyses, it was seen that Anaia church shows parallel planning evolution that represents the features from the Early Byzantine Period to the Late Byzantine Period. The centrally located ambo in the nave and synthronon in the apse reflect the Early Byzantine Period features. The filling walls and toppled columns revealed in the naos were evaluated as physical effects and measures of earthquakes. Stepped pilasters in the northern and southern façade walls and recessed brick technique in the northern façade wall are the features of construction technique. The majority of the observed problems in the building are related with exposure to the atmospheric conditions since the roof of the church has not survived to present. Furthermore, it was observed that the temprorary protective shelter at the east and west end of the church, is inadequate. As a result, to conserve the Anaia Church as a cultural asset, drainage in the area, protective shelter, supporting of the arches and vaults, consolidation of the walls, conservation of the floor coverings and removal of humidity from the substructure were proposed.
