Feshane-i Amire Evaluation of Structural System for Adaptive Reuse

Abstract

There are various industrial heritage buildings as reflections of the progress of industrialization in Türkiye. Especially, Istanbul has many examples of industrial heritage as it played a significant role at the beginning of Türkiye's industrialization. These buildings worth preserving can be brought back to the city through adaptive reuse. Thus, in seismic zones such as Türkiye, in addition preserving architectural values in the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage buildings, the structural system design also gains importance due to earthquakes or other structural system damages. The study analyzes the structural members of Feshane-i Amire in Istanbul before and after their adaptive reuse through architectural restoration. The study's main aim is to raise awareness of industrial heritage conservation, particularly among designers and professionals, and to emphasize discussing the structural system in adaptive reuse.
