A CASE STUDY FOR THE RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION METHODOLOGY OF TIMBER CIVIL ARCHITECTURE 5

Year 2015, Issue: 15, 56 - 72, 01.12.2015

Abstract

This article is focused on the restoration and conservation methodologies of traditional Ottoman timber civil architecture through an example being carried out in ‘Süleymaniye’, one of the World Heritage Sites in Istanbul. The case study includes the entire work on both scientific and architectural fields of conservation such as research, documentation, material analyses, implementation methodologies and proposals in terms of national and global criteria for the conservation of cultural heritage. Architectural project, laboratory work, conservation science and timber training workshop are involved in the study, so collaboration among various disciplines is tried to be provided. Main principles of the case study can be shortly defined as ‘authenticity’ and ‘sustainability’. These refer to ‘protecting the survived original building elements and details in situ’ and ‘developing and practising the methods for extending their lifespan with an interdisciplinary work’ synchronously. Restoration is just one of the periods of the whole conservation process, whereas post-implementation steps like re-use and further maintenance provide the real and long-term conservation of the historical, social and intangible values of the property. Therefore ‘unity’ among the whole approaches also occurs as another principle in the long term. Previous articles in the 1st, 4th, 10th and 11th volumes of this journal had included the whole documentation work, pre-implementation studies, dismantling inventory, removal of the improper additions, reconstruction of the fire wall and restoration of the wooden frame system, conservation of wooden elements, dismantling and reconstruction of the additional II. Period timber building, roof and façade implementations. This article explains the continuing restoration methods used for the traditional wooden elements: walls bağdadî technique , ceilings, floors, staircases, mouldings, doors and windows. Also restoration of original wooden cupboards yüklük , plastering, application of protective finishing layers and the garden walls’ construction are described. The case study representing the methodology is completed by this article. Buildings are being reused as offices by ‘The Site Management Directorate’ and the original shop is refunctioned as a bookstore. It’s worth to underline that this experience, always an open site for visits, is briefly formed by and served to ‘education’ via the training programme of KUDEB Timber Workshop, internships, term studies and several publications.
