MODERN MİMARLIK MİRASININ BLOKZİNCİR TABANLI DOKÜMANTASYONU: DOCOMOMO odaklı kavramsal çerçeve

Öz

Modern mimarlık mirası, dönüştürülen yapılarıyla dinamik bir karaktere sahiptir. 20. yüzyılın modern yapıları, dönüşüm süreçleri nedeniyle belgelenmiş olsalar bile kısa süre içinde güncelliğini yitiren kayıtlara konu olmaktadır. DOCOMOMO gibi örgütler konferanslar ve envanter çalışmaları aracılığıyla çok sayıda yapıyı gündeme getirseler de bilgi altyapıları merkezi, zor erişilebilir ve güncellenmesi güç sistemler olarak kalmaktadır. Bu makale, modern mimarlık mirası dokümantasyonuna ilişkin sorunları blokzincir teknolojisi temelli kavramsal bir çerçeve üzerinden ele almaktadır. Çalışma, her modern miras yapısı için kalıcı bir “miras kimliği” (heritage ID) tanımlayan ve bu kimliğe zaman içinde eklenen tüm sürümleri izlenebilir biçimde ilişkilendiren, izne dayalı (permissioned) bir blokzincir mimarisi tasarlamaktadır. Önerilen modelde, araştırmacılar ve öğrenciler “katkıcı”, ulusal komiteler ve uzmanlar “doğrulayıcı” rollerini üstlenmekte; akıllı sözleşmeler aracılığıyla kayıt ekleme, gözden geçirme ve onay süreçleri tanımlanmaktadır. Blokzincir üzerinde kriptografik özetler ve üst veriler saklanmakta, asıl belgeler dış depolama çözümlerine bağlanmaktadır. Böylece veri bütünlüğü ve değiştirilemezlik korunurken, depolama maliyetleri yönetilebilir düzeyde tutulmaktadır. Çalışma, dağınık aktörler arasında paylaştırılmış ve kolektif olarak güncellenebilir bir kayıt sisteminin olanaklarını kuramsal ve mimari açıdan tartışmakta; sonuç bölümünde önerinin literatüre katkısı ile güçlü ve zayıf yönleri eleştirel biçimde değerlendirilmektedir.

BLOCKCHAIN-BASED DOCUMENTATION OF MODERN ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE: A DOCOMOMO focused conceptual framework

Öz

The modern architectural heritage possesses a dynamic character through its transformed structures. Even though 20th-century modern buildings are documented due to their transformation processes, they quickly become outdated records. Although organizations such as DOCOMOMO bring numerous buildings to the fore through conferences and inventory studies, their information infrastructures remain centralized, difficult to access, and challenging to update. This article addresses the problems related to the documentation of modern architectural heritage through a conceptual framework based on blockchain technology. The study designs a permissioned blockchain architecture that defines a permanent “heritage ID” for each modern heritage structure and links all versions added over time to this ID in a traceable manner. In the proposed model, researchers and students take on the role of “contributors,” while national committees and experts act as “validators”; processes for adding, reviewing, and approving records are defined through smart contracts. Cryptographic hashes and metadata are stored on the blockchain, while the actual documents are linked to external storage solutions. The study discusses the prospects of such a distributed, collectively updatable record from conceptual and architectural angles; the concluding section situates the proposal in the literature and critically weighs its strengths and limitations.
