    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.

    Restoration of a Traditional Residential Building in Şanlıurfa
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2016) Çelik, Keziban; İpekoğlu, Başak
    The traditional residential architecture in Şanlıurfa has survived to present in Southeastern Anatolia. Traditional Şanlıurfa houses conserve original design characteristics with specialized spaces around an inner courtyard. The traditional house, dated 1877, located in historical neighborhood in Şanlıurfa was selected as thesis subject, considering its original characteristics to be preserved and its problems to determine conservation decisions. The building was originally arranged as haremlik and selamlık sections. However, in selamlık section, new residential building was constructed. The aim of this thesis was to document haremlik section that has survived until today, analyze architectural and structural characteristics, identify the problems and develop conservation proposals. The method of the study was field survey, documentation, analysis and historical research. The building has spaces authentic to traditional Şanlıurfa houses such as rooms, iwan, stone balcony, traditional kitchen, cellar and camel barn. The house is two storey on south and one storey on north and east. The building has environmental, traditional, historical, architectural and documentary values, however, its structural and morphological problems need interventions. Collapsed vault section on the first floor, missing architectural elements and inharmonious additions are problems of the building. In scope of interventions, continuation of its residential use is suggested, the separated old selamlık section was excluded from the intervention decisions. Structural and morphological intervention decisions were developed to conserve and rehabilitate the original characteristics of the building. With this approach, reconstruction of the collapsed vault sections in the original form with similar material, renewal of joineries and arrangement of spaces in accordance with contemporary use are proposed.
