Improving the deteriorations of historic buildings through building materials

Abstract

Historic buildings may need various interventions to adapt to changing conditions and maintain their existence. The problems identified in the buildings should be addressed in an innovative framework and should be eliminated without harming the historical texture and the environment. In this study, the problems and needs of historical buildings over the years are discussed and solutions are proposed to eliminate them on the scale of building materials. Recent studies in five different categories, namely humidity and dampness, energy performance, thermal comfort, environmental impacts, and indoor air quality, were examined. This study has an awareness-raising approach in terms of examining the effects of the use of new materials on the natural environment as well as the historical environment.

Keywords

Tarihi yapılarda tespit edilen sorunların yapı malzemeleri üzerinden iyileştirilmesi

Öz

Tarihi yapılar günümüz şartlarına uyum sağlayabilmeleri ve varlıklarını sürdürebilmeleri adına çeşitli müdahalelere ihtiyaç duyabilmektedir. Bu süreçte yapılarda tespit edilen sorunların yenilikçi bir çerçevede ele alınarak tarihi dokuya ve çevreye zarar vermeden giderilmesi gerekir. Bu çalışmada yıllar içerisinde tarihi yapılarda görülen aksaklıklar ve ihtiyaçlar ele alınarak bunların yapı malzemesi ölçeğinde giderilmesine yönelik çözüm önerileri sunulmuştur. Çalışmanın metodolojisine göre, nem sorunu, enerji performansı, termal konfor, çevresel etkiler ve iç mekân hava kalitesi olarak belirlenen beş farklı kategoride son on yılda literatüre kazandırılmış olan çalışmalar incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma, yeni malzeme ve teknoloji kullanımının tarihi çevre kadar doğal çevreye olan etkilerinin de incelenmesi açısından bilinçlendirici bir yaklaşıma sahiptir.
