    Dovecotes in Kayabağ Village: an Assessment of Landscape and Architectural Characteristics
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020) İnceköse, Ülkü
    The dovecotes of Kayseri-Gesi stand out as unique examples of indigenous architecture of Anatolia. They are considered significant elements of the rural landscape. The purpose of the construction, the constructional and spatial characteristics peculiar to these dovecotes, make them an important element of global cultural and architectural heritage. Dovecotes that are built upon rocks, with mere building stones provided from the same rocks, look like a shaped form of the topography itself. This is very much to do with the geological features of the Cappadocia Region where Kayseri is located. In terms of construction techniques and spatial organization, the dramatic differences in the dovecotes’ underground and aboveground parts make them even more outstanding. This research is based on the field studies conducted in the dovecotes of Kayabağ. The landscape was studied in all aspects and each dovecote is studied for its placement, topographical interactions, plan and section typologies, materiality and construction techniques. The structural problems stemmed from the geological features and the deterioration caused by external factors are taken into consideration. The study concludes with an overall approach for preservation, sustainability and conservation process of the heritage landscape of Dovecotes [Güvercinlik] of Kayabağ.

    Assessment of Wood Laminated Material for Housing Production
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2019) Balkan, Selçuk; İnceköse, Ülkü
    Today, laminated wood material is used in different types of structures. In many countries such as our country, as well as countries where this usage is intense, laminated wood material is not preferred in housing production yet. Although it seems that reinforced concrete structures have replaced wooden structures today, environmentally sensitive approaches expressed with concepts such as sustainability, ecological balance and repeatability have enabled the reuse of wood material. In this study, the properties of laminated wood technology, which is predicted to be an alternative technology to conventional construction technologies, are evaluated. With this assessment, laminated wood technology could be an alternative structure production technology in our country. At the beginning of the study, wood materials, wood damaging factors, composite wood materials, the use of wood in residential production and the use of laminated wood in residential production were examined under four main headings. The properties of wood materials and laminated wood materials were examined in detail and the methods, advantages and disadvantages of these materials were determined. This study is detailed on the structure of JZ House which was designed and built by architect Serhat AKBAY in Antalya with laminated wood technology. The laminated wooden parts produced for the building were examined based on scientific data on the design process, static resistance of the building, fire resistance, sustainability, environmental and human health contributions. With the evaluation, it is aimed to increase the preference of wooden structures constructed with developing wood technology.

    Assessment of Construction Techniques and Material Usage in Izmir Rural Houses
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015) Tunçoku, Selim Sarp; İnceköse, Ülkü; Akış, Tonguç; Yalçın, Mehmet Ali
    The domestic architecture in the rural villages of ̄zmir comprises a unique built environment with their masonry wall textures, semi-open sofas, round tiled-hipped roofs, and chimneys, and represents an important part of the cultural and architectural heritage. This assessment is mainly based on field observations that focus on the architectural and structural layout of intact, damaged, and destroyed houses. During field observation and the analysis of data certain plan typologies and relationships between the geological formations of the region and choice of materials and construction techniques were observed. While load-bearing masonry and timber skeleton systems are common, extensive use of timber laces, stone, and fired or adobe brick masonry with mud mortar and timber frames infilled with masonry materials were frequently seen. Generally, round timber elements such as wall plates, laces, lintels, posts, and frames of flooring systems are used. Architectural degenerations in authentic houses, defective details and partially due to the earthquake-prone nature of the region seismicity have been evaluated. An overall approach for the preservation and sustainability of this heritage is suggested.
