Design Approaches of New Buildings Affecting the Historical Texture of Silifke

It is an inevitable fact to observe the physical development of the historical cities in the process of urbanization, whose historical past cannot be ignored. In the process of modernization, it is essential to emphasize the necessity of preserving historical values as well as the criteria to form new designs by researching the effects of contemporary buildings on urban fabric. Establishing data and methods for the effort to capture the harmonious integrity of traditional and modern provide the physical heritage and habitable environments that can be passed on to future generations. Developing data and methods for the effort of capturing the harmonious integrity of traditional and modern, constitutes habitable environments by revealing the historical heritage that can be passed on to future generations. The aim of the study is to develop criticism in the archaeological site of the city center of Silifke by researching new building designs and additions to existing structures in traditional urban texture. In this context, the negative and positive effects of the new structures described in connection with the historical features of the city of Silifke are questioned within the framework of the basic design criteria. Thus, the results of the examinations which were developed considering the old-new relationship provide the designer with the opportunity to analyze the current situation and to develop new methods by analyzing the current situation. Thus, the original projects developed on the basis of the available data that direct the design support the cultural image of the cities.
