    Evaluation of Current Conservation Activities in Kuşadası Urban Site
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Yönetken, Elif Ece; Turan, Mine
    This study was conducted to evaluate conservation activities regarding conservation council decisions in a middle sized, but touristic historic city on western coast of Turkey. The aim of the study is to evaluate the impact of the current conservation plan and conservation council decisions on the immovable cultural assets in listed urban site of Kuşadası. The methodology includes literature research, archive research in Conservation Council, Pious Foundations and Kuşadası Municipality, site survey comprehending base map correction and photographic documentation; visual analysis, historical research and comparative study, and evaluation of conservation activities with reference to concepts of authenticity and integrity. It is evaluated that there are conservation problems originated from inappropriate conservation implementations ignoring the concept of authenticity and integrity of immovable cultural assets. There is also terminologic confusion in some conservation council decisions. Majority of the conservation implementations have focused on single building scale. Unlicensed constructions stemming from insufficient control of the Municipality in the historic urban environment and lack of implementation of the conservation plan in terms of removal of inharmonious buildings and masses are significant in terms of their negative impact on integrity of the urban layout. Preparation of a management plan, revision of the conservation plan, which dates to 1994, and determination in their application are considered as indispensible for sustaining of authenticity and integrity.

    Assessment of the Interventions Regarding Some Historical Mosques in Manisa Within the Frame of Conservation Values
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2018) Koşun, Suna; Turan, Mine
    In spite of the fact that General Directorate of Pious Foundations has will to provide budget for the restoration of waqf origined monuments, there are still contradictions in the related restoration applications. There is an increase in the number of restorations and decrease in the ratio between technical staff and project number. The aim of this study is to understand effects of changes on cultural asset values of waqf origined monuments which have sustained their authentic functions, evaluate the change in the values period by period, assess the current interventions, present restoration history, and propose principles for future interventions that will sustain cultural asset value. Historical mosques in Manisa and dated to different ages are selected as case studies: Haki Baba Mosque (1371), Göktaşlı Mosque (1630-31), Kabasakal Mosque (≤1841), Pazaryeri Mosque (1874) and Çarşı Mosque (1875). Mixed methods combining qualitative and quantitative techniques were used. In conclusion, picturesqueness value, spiritual value, virginity value, rarity value and age value of the monuments and their period by period changes are stated. Scale of intervention, delicacy of the monument and appropriateness of interventions in relation with principles such as reversibility, transmission of data, physical sustainability, and qualified design and workmanship were defined as the parameters that have direct impact on the sustaining of values. In addition, history of restoration of the studied mosques and principles for future interventions regarding similar structures are put forward.

    Current Conservation State of Some Art Nouveau Houses and Apartment Buildings in Istanbul
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2017) Türkarslan, Gizem; Turan, Mine
    This study presents five examples of Istanbul Art Nouveau residential architecture in Sarıyer and Beyoğlu districts and their current conservation state. The aim is to evaluate two family yalıs in Sarıyer and three apartment buildings in Beyoğlu. First, Art Nouveau characteristics, its emergence in Europe and Istanbul were investigated. It was important to understand the changes in residential architecture in late Ottoman Empire and see the differences between its late and classical examples before starting to examine the buildings. After the historical research, analysis work of the five case studies had been carried out in site scale including the near-by environment and in single building scales. The way followed was survey with conventional techniques, mapping for visual analysis; literature and archive research in the related municipalities and the conservation councils. Then, each building was evaluated with the information coming from the analysis work and finally a general evaluation became possible. In conclusion, it is observed that Sarıyer and Beyoğlu examples have different conservation problems. Sarıyer examples have conserved both their façade and plan characteristics. They are currently used with the same purpose as their original function, restored and maintained. Their conservation problems are mostly caused by the interventions through the years to their near-by environment their original building material was renewed. In Beyoğlu examples, it can be said that façade of the buildings were preserved but interior organization was changed due to the function changes in Beyoğlu in general. Facades have become shells of the modern interiors.

    Documentation of Historic Structures for the Assessment of Heritage Characteristics
    (Locke Science Publishing Company Inc., 2011) Turan, Mine; Akbaylar, İpek
    Correct identification of heritage characteristics is a prerequisite for the conservation of historic structures. This study summarizes the developments in image-based documentation techniques and explores a way of combining them with conventional documentation techniques for architectural conservation. The processes of architectural photogrammetry and pictorial photography help the architect-conservator examine the many details of architectural heritage, making the assessment of heritage characteristics easier. Nevertheless, site observations and historical research are indispensable tools that support the evaluation process. A 19th centwy Ottoman church in western Turkey has been documented by combining the above techniques. Scaled drawings, a 3D model, maps on rectified image mosaics, and image albums make it possible to perceive the spatial qualities and conception of the original construction techniques, together with their alterations. The assessment results are presented in thematic tables with links to visual documents, and the heritage values and conservation problems of the church are clarified. Finally, this study illustrates one example of a successful heritage assessment leading to a conservation design.

    A Retrospective Evaluation of Space Organization Principles in Architecture (building on Mimar Kemalettin Street in Izmir)
    (Izmir Institute of Technology, 2000) Turan, Mine; Hamamcıoğlu Turan, Mine; Eyüce, Ahmet; Eyüce, Ahmet
    The fundamental idea aimed in this study is to invoke some architectural ways of handling the space organization problems in historic urban sites subjected to unhealthy transformations. The dominant function may be kept as constant through out ages in a specific region, but still it is certain that architectural end products pertaining to different periods will most probably reflect the modifications in spatial decisions appropriate to their own social, cultural and economical context. It has been thought that if a method of morphological evaluation is developed to decipher the spatial qualities of the present buildings belonging to different periods, it will then be possible to derive significant spatial values to be taken into consideration in succeeding design decisions. This will result in a poly-phasal urban morphology with heterogeneous spatial qualities, instead of an enormous complexity stemming from inappropriate conversions. It is thought that the present situation of the built environment in izmir is mostly recalled with its negative aspects. Renewals and bad restorations had resulted in the loss of so far established identity on MK Street, and a better one has not been formed. Nevertheless, it has preserved the architectural characteristics that make it a transitional zone between the totally preserved historical commercial district Kemeraltl and the totally burned down and renewed Alsancak. It has buildings representing the commercial activities experienced in Traditional Ottoman, Westernization, Early Republican, Modern and Post-Modern periods in this historical commercial region of izmir.Within this frame, in each chapter of the thesis the following points have been put forth for discussion. The introduction presents the arguments of the thesis with respect to the architectural developments in the country and izmir. The aims and content are clearly stated, where as the points that will be kept out of the discussion ground are pointed out as well. This means the denotative meanings of space are chosen to be discussed instead of the connotative ones. The problem is, then, defined in terms of hypothesis. Following this, the methodology suggested for deciphering the general architectural characteristics and space organization principles of buildings has been presented. The first step of the method, therefore, involves the establishment of an architectural database necessary for further discussions and the second one proposes a morphological evaluation system for the analysis of the spatial systems of each building. The way of handling the written and illustrative results arrived at the end of the analysis is to compare them with each other to clearly state the dominant and peculiar spatial themes in text format. Finally, the buildings themselves as the primary sources of this study, together with the archive documents, old maps and photographs, travelogues, evaluations of previous researchers on history of izrnir and the architectural practice in the city, and previous studies dealing with space evaluation methods are criticized.Chapter 2 auns to get acquainted with the problems of the thesis by understanding the correlation between the social and economical developments, and also the architectural developments in izrnir through out the ages. The architectural reflections of this historical evolution have been identified on the continuously transformed commercial district of Mimar Kemalettin Street. This resume of the historical and architectural developments in the study area with respect to those within the city whole has provided a ground for the following spatial evaluations of buildings within the limits of their two constants - location and function.Chapter 3 evaluates the buildings and built form on Mimar Kemalettin Street as representatives of different architectural trends. The information pertaining to tectonics provided in the identification and design sheets, and the spatial characteristics analyzed in the system tables have been evaluated in this chapter. It is understood that there are representatives of five major architectural trends: Traditional Ottoman, Late Ottoman under the Influence of Westernization, Early Republican, Modem and Post-Modem. Comparison among different sets of buildings possessing similar function and location specifications, but created according to different architectural traditions and generally in different periods have been put forth in order to clarify the characteristics of a certain group within the set. In the conclusion, space organization principles belonging to buildings of various architectural periods and the built form in the transformed urban fabric of MK Street deciphered through out the study have been interpreted. The primary hypothesis of the thesis that each architectural trend on MK Street has its own space organization principles, but there is also a general evolution of the commercial space systems has been proved via the proposed method. The proposed method has been efficient in establishing an architectural database related with the seventy-three buildings studied. Consequently, spatial systems of each period have been delineated. Then, related analysis and evaluation results have been put forward, and compared with each other. This way of differentiating significant spatial values developed in every period will surely illuminate the decisions to be taken under the pressure of virtual transformations.
