ABSTRACT Cultural heritage structures reflect the lifestyles and creative aspects of our ancestors. Indeed, they contain the cultural roots of today’s societies and connect the past to the present. There is no doubt that architectural and structural evaluation plays important role in the conservation of these structures for the future. This paper focuses on an architectural evaluation and current usage of the specific timber vernacular structure, the Turkish Storage Building ‘Serender’, which has not yet been protected in the Eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. The architectural assessment includes morphological analysis, material, and construction techniques of the timber storage buildings. We believe that this assessment will contribute to the preservation of the authenticity and integrity of these structures, and also will contribute to sustaining the skills of craftworker and their traditional and cultural knowledge.

ABSTRACT Earthen buildings are a fundamental part of Colombia's historical architectural heritage. This heritage has been deteriorating due to a lack of knowledge, disconnection from cultural roots, and because of the structural vulnerability of these buildings, mainly caused by earthquakes and moisture. Throughout recent years, research has been carried out in order to structurally intervene and preserve these buildings, however, within the Colombian context there are few studies regarding the location, distribution, and main characteristics of earthen buildings. Therefore, this research is presented from general to specific, beginning with an approach to Andean earthen architecture in Colombia, and ending with a case study of an urban environment: The Historic Centre of Bogotá (HCB). Based on this context, the most important earthen construction techniques and rehabilitation techniques were identified. Regarding the HCB case analysed, it was possible to identify the location, relationships, geometric characteristics, and intervention techniques of one-and-two-storey earthen buildings, by means of a procedure that can be replicated in other Colombian cities. The relevance of analysing Colombian earthen constructions is to contribute to the development of intervention techniques for, firstly, facilitating the conservation of their architectural heritage characteristics, and secondly, improving their structural behaviour to survive major earthquakes.

ABSTRACT In 1842, The Ecclesiologist, a publication dedicated to the development of church architecture, suggested that ‘to restore is to revive the original appearance … lost by decay, accident, or ill-judged alteration.’ This sentiment informed the restoration of countless medieval churches over the nineteenth century and ultimately triggered the foundation of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB); the body that would shape twentieth-century conservation philosophy. This article suggests that a number of recent church schemes in London illustrate a growing shift away from orthodox conservation principles towards creative restoration. Three Anglican churches that are currently undergoing a programme of refurbishment will be examined to shed light on emerging practices. Though none of the refurbishments have attempted to recreate the original church, all three have foregrounded the original shell and plan and, in doing so reflect The Ecclesiologist’s position that ‘we must, whether from existing evidences or from supposition, recover the original scheme of the edifice, as conceived by the first builder … ’ This article explores the factors that are influencing new approaches in church refurbishments, reading these against nineteenth-century debates on conservation and restoration.

ABSTRACT The conservation process of Japanese wooden buildings has often been likened to the Ship of Theseus, whose planks were gradually replaced until its material was completely renewed. This analogy suggests that the primary aim of Japanese conservation is retaining the original form, giving little consideration to material authenticity. However, an in-depth analysis of Japanese conservation practice reveals that this comparison is misleading. An examination of the ratios of remaining original material and its distribution in the building shows that historically, replacements were carried out in a limited manner, and complete renovation of the material did not take place. Instead, timbers in the ‘core’ part of the structure remain for the most part original, while timbers in the ‘periphery’ can be replaced several times. In addition, a review of guidelines for the conservation of heritage buildings in Japan shows that retaining ‘as much as possible of the old material’ was considered a fundamental principle from the beginning of modern heritage conservation. Finally, a survey of repair sites shows how this principle is rigorously observed in contemporary practice. As a result of this analysis, it becomes clear that conservation of material authenticity is, in fact, a fundamental concept in the Japanese approach.

ABSTRACT Yellow patina formed on the stone surfaces of historical buildings, monuments, and archaeological structures due to weathering is considered a value of the building in the conservation of cultural heritage studies. Although yellow patina layers can be easily distinguished on white marble surfaces, it is not possible to distinguish them on the yellow travertine surfaces with the naked eye. It should be taken into account in yellow travertines as well as marble surfaces before conservation treatments of the stone. In this study, mineralogical and chemical compositions and the thicknesses of yellow patina layers formed on yellow travertine and marble surfaces in Aizanoi, Aphrodisias, and Hierapolis archaeological sites in Turkey were analyzed in order to constitute a conservation approach in the archaeological sites. In this respect, XRD, FT-IR, SEM-EDX, and LIBS were used in the determination of compositions and thicknesses of yellow patina. Although LIBS analysis is a more convenient method to investigate patina layers on stone surfaces, this technique is not as well known as the others. Yellow patina layers contained calcium oxalate in the form of whewellite (CaC2O4.H2O). Their thicknesses were between 15 and 100 μm and should be protective against weathering on travertine and marble surfaces. Highlights LIBS analysis seems to be the most convenient micro-destructive method to estimate the thickness of the yellow patina layers on the marble and yellow travertine surfaces. The determination of the thickness of the yellow patina is critical to keep irreversible cleaning interventions, especially for the yellow travertines due to their similar colors. Yellow patina is mainly composed of calcium oxalate with clay minerals and organic compounds.

ABSTRACT Historical monuments as cultural heritage are a prominent source of sociocultural values and have semantic values for city residents. Determining the importance level of the historical monuments for the residents will cause the right decisions to be taken in the strategic policy-making process related to recognizing and conserving them. This study aimed to provide empirical evidence of the semantic value of cultural heritage in the urban design project and policy-making process. Since cultural heritage is non-market Product, the Hedonic Pricing Model was used to determine its semantic values in the study. The study determined the semantic value of Ankara Castle and Anıtkabir in Ankara, with the help of the Hedonic Pricing Model, over the prices of houses located in a radius of 1200 meters of these monuments. A total of 364 houses around Ankara Castle and 496 houses around Anıtkabir were examined. As a result, as the houses get closer to the Ankara Castle, their prices increase by 5% per 100 meters, and the house prices rise by 3% per 100 meters as the house gets closer to the Anıtkabir.

ABSTRACT City walls have played a significant role in the history of many cities in both Europe and Anatolia in the Middle Ages. Following the development of war technology, the city walls lost their importance as defensive structures, which led to changes in the urban patterns of walled cities. In the case of Istanbul, the city walls began to lose their defensive role after the Ottoman takeover of the city in the fifteenth century. However, the walls have continued to play new roles beyond defense, such as forming the city's physical, legal, and fiscal boundaries. The Ottoman authorities repaired and conserved the city walls in line with their changing roles, values and meaning for the city. Nevertheless, the city walls in Istanbul were damaged by earthquakes, city fires and particularly urban planning practices in the nineteenth century, as was the case in many walled cities. This paper discusses the intertwined history of preservation and demolition of the city walls by analyzing a cost estimate, dated 1894 and located in the Ottoman State Archives, which was prepared by the modernizing administration of the Ottoman State for the repairs of the Istanbul Land Walls.

ABSTRACT Addition to historic buildings is an act of planning which integrates the preservation of architectural testimonies while at the same time enabling local development. Building additions are planned and designed under restrictions and regulations and are developed and supervised mainly by global organizations. Additions may be considered a compromise between expanding historic buildings and accentuating the historic buildings’ important values. The discussion on the ontological perspective of conservation aspects is directly related to additions. According to conservation discourse, designs of additions are derived after scrutinizing and evaluating the historic building. Therefore, the addition should be visualized differently from both past and present architectural representations. A method to appraise historic buildings’ additions is needed to evaluate and justify them. The historic building and its addition are combined as separate entities, and therefore a new term has been proposed to describe this symbiosis: A Combined But-Not Unified Entity (CBNUE). In this article, I propose adding another layer of examination of the CBNUE reciprocity through parasitic and prosthetic architecture theories. This examination challenges the design of additions and offers an alternative view of additions that can be considered appropriate according to international guidelines. Thus, the addition can be considered appropriate within the context of an image of a parasite or a prosthesis.

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the Chamber of Crown Princes (Veliaht Dairesi) located in the residential part (Harem) of the Topkapı Palace, the Ottoman imperial seat in Istanbul (Turkey), where the removal of later additions was discussed during its restoration in the 1960s. Based on the archival documents of Mualla Eyüboğlu, the architect responsible for the restoration of the Topkapı Palace between 1961 and 1969, and the resolutions of the High Board of Antiquities and Monuments, this study reveals a stimulating debate on the balancing of the preservation of historic document value versus aesthetic value. Ambitious to present the building in its original function and use of the space as a part of the imperial residence, Eyüboğlu decided to liberate the original building of all the later additions and tried to reinstate the building to its initial seventeenth-century state. The removal of historical layers was disapproved by some of her contemporaries, while others appreciated her aesthetic concern. The case is reviewed at a broader scale, opening up to and integrating similar discussions in European preservation theory in the 1960s.

ABSTRACT Built heritage and heritage cities can provide us a strong visual image of national identity; it responds to the architecture's social, cultural, and economic context. Through the architectural heritage, we seek to understand the relation between architecture conservation and the history of architecture. And how does the relationship occur between these two? The history of Afghanistan's architectural heritage reflects the country's primordial legacy and has had played a remarkable role in Afghan civilization. It is needed to visualize, protect and preserve them. The Afghanistan’s architectural heritage sites are notable for various features, one of the most significant features being the architectural significance of ornamentation and elements. These architectural features depict the age in which the building was built, utilizing the technology, craftsmanship, building morphology and styles known at the time. Afghan culture has played a critical part in human civilization throughout its lengthy history and has made significant contributions.
