ABSTRACT This article focuses on the Vakko textile factory, a modernist industrial building on the E-5 highway in İstanbul Merter, built in 1969 and demolished in 2006. As one of the pioneering locations for modern fashion in Turkey, this factory is among the increasing number of modernist heritage buildings that has been lost due to demolition in the sprawling city of İstanbul. However, the building was demolished because of urban policies as well as company decisions. With its microenvironment and landscaping, this industrial concrete building has witnessed changes in Turkey’s social, economic, and political context from the Hat Law of 1925 to ready-to-wear production starting in the 1970s. The building can be considered one of the most important and the most beautiful examples of modern industrial architecture and international style in Turkey, embracing plastic arts and graphic arts in a period of industrialization as stated by Cengizkan and Kaçel. The building is not only a modernist concrete structure, but also displays the socio-political, economic, and artistic approaches of the period and Turkish postwar modernism. However, this ‘small-scale loss’ building with its conserved and restored unique art works becomes one of the few examples in İstanbul as an expanding city.

ABSTRACT In 1942, three years into World War II, the Ministry of Supply ordered that all cast and wrought iron in the city of Bath be removed for war purposes. This included the railings around garden squares, which were generally thought elitist and old-fashioned anyway. Ironwork could be retained on grounds of architectural or historic merit but reprieval was rare, and much fine ironwork that disappeared, mainly gates and railings, was first recorded by Official War Artists. Since the 1970s much of Bath’s missing ironwork has been restored and the rest has undergone campaigns of repair, notably at Queen Square, Royal Crescent, Lansdown Crescent and Royal Victoria Park. An ongoing project to reinstate overthrows and lighting on the Bathwick estate coordinates best conservation practice, bringing together several materials and technologies of the 1790s.

ABSTRACT Al Hayla tower is a historic stone building located in Liwa Oasis in the vast ‘Empty Quarter’ desert of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. As one of the few remaining unaltered stone buildings in the emirate, Halya is a rare record of stone construction techniques and a significant part of Abu Dhabi’s heritage. When first surveyed in 2009, the tower was in critical condition with large vertical cracks that threatened to cause total collapse of the structure. Emergency conservation measures including shoring and strapping were carried out and a conservation management plan was drafted to guide future interventions. Documentation, materials analysis and treatment trials were also carried out followed by conservation. The interventions included structural reinforcement, grouting, repointing, and application of a shelter coat. Geogrid fiber was chosen for reinforcement because of its high tensile strength and resistance to heat deformation and corrosion in the desert environment. After several years of monitoring following the interventions, the tower has remained stable. This paper describes the conservation and structural stabilization work in detail, focusing on materials analysis, mortar selection, and the conservation and structural solutions chosen to stabilize the tower.

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the use of the photogrammetric method to obtain 3D model of artworks for their characterisation and conservation. The high-resolution reproduction of a piece of art allows both the identification of constituent materials, decorative elements and detailed features and its digitalisation and enjoyment and then enhancement. In this study the approach was applied to the polychrome marble altars in the crypt of the St. Sabino’s cathedral and in the St. Giacomo’s church, both in Bari (Italy), significant evidences of virtuosity of Baroque sculptors and of use and reuse of precious Roman marbles combined with more recent and local stones. For this purpose, firstly, a three-dimensional model and high definition survey were performed by collection of numerous photographs and their processing using photogrammetric method and digital survey software; in addition, identification of Roman marbles and other decorative stones was carried out in terms of lithological classification, provenance locality, the historical period of employ. Results, obtained through an inexpensive, fast and complete survey, allowed to produce a high definition representation of the altars for a complete mapping of used material and decorative features and to guarantee their conservation, sharing and enhancement.

ABSTRACT Representing socioeconomic, cultural and natural features of the communities, and conveyed from generation to generation, vernacular houses are a significant part of the heritage and the local identity which are facing various challenges in the contemporary world and various attempts made for the conservation of vernacular houses, it is found out that local people’s appreciation, desire for conservation and participation are the vital factors for the continuity of the process. Therefore, this research aims to find out the existing situation of vernacular houses and the residents’ perception towards the conservation in the rural areas of Trabzon, Turkey where rural conservation activities have been recently initiated. Architectural documentation and semi-structured questionnaire surveys are conducted. It is found out that vernacular houses have undergone various changes, providing better living conditions; but negatively affecting the authenticity of the houses. They have the mindset to conserve vernacular houses; yet, they are unaware of the proper actions to take for the conservation financial and technical supports as well as the conservation activities conducted by the local government. Still being in the initial stage, this is a crucial time to initiate a more inclusive, integrated and participatory process for the conservation activities in the region.

ABSTRACT The focus of this paper is the state of conservation of the Afro-Brazilian mosques in Yorubaland in Nigeria. These mosques signify a symbolic moment in West Africa’s architectural history as a cross-fertilization of Luso-Brazilian architectural elements with West African Islamic architectural traditions. Their architectural characteristics have been described based on extensive fieldwork in Yorubaland, during which they have been identified, located and documented. By utilizing physical observations, anecdotal evidence, and secondary literature, the paper categorizes the Afro-Brazilian mosques according to their typological and morphologic characteristics and identifies their heritage values. Their significance is highlighted as the evidence of cross-fertilization of imported and local architectural ideas as well as the negotiation of the indigenes with this imported architecture and its implications for urban memory. After addressing the conservation problems concerning the legacy of Afro-Brazilian mosques, the paper finally recommends a way forward for mobilizing action in response to their deterioration and loss.

ABSTRACT The Sissinghurst Tower Conservation Project was complex project in terms of project management because it required the coordination of a number of work-streams and disciplines within a very short time opportunity during winter, a season that is usually adverse to building conservation work. The project involved interpretation and exhibitions, moving of historic collections, horticulture and building conservation work. A number of elements of the building required specialist conservation work and investigations. The project required a great deal of critical path analysis and proactive communication. It comprised a comprehensive conservation programme to undertake priority works such as the condition of the stone parapets, weathervanes, timber staircase and brick window mullions. However with the considerable cost of scaffolding other less urgent works were brought forward. A far better archaeological understanding was long overdue and this was also undertaken. The results were of excellent quality, delivered on time and slightly below budget. The project opened up the need to look further at conservation of Vita’s Writing Room, a room on the first floor which houses an important collection. This will need to be a sensitively planned future project balancing the needs of building and collections conservation.

ABSTRACT Preserving cultural heritage doesn’t simply imply handing down the image of a building as a whole, it also means safeguarding its material nature through knowing its construction-related features. The need to make buildings meet present-day requirements as regards acoustic and thermal performances must come to terms with the demand of preserving what has been built, avoiding marring its features. This is particularly felt in Italy, since most of the buildings in historical towns were built before the nineteen century. The object of the research is studying plastered wooden-structure partition walls to be found in brick-work Venetian buildings with a view of their refurbishment and conservation. Such walls, consisting in boards and wooden strips (scorzoni and cantinelle) play an important functional and construction-related role inside Venetian buildings. The resort to other materials unconnected with Venetian building tradition has often led to their being substituted with walls built according to more up-to-date techniques which has caused the loss of historical identity as well as quite different thermal-acoustic, rigidity and weight performances. The paper presents the first results of the construction-related analysis of the existing walls and some guidelines aiming to improve their performances, at the same time making their preservation viable.

ABSTRACT This paper studies XiPuXinJu, a Hakka-enclosed house that is located in the Longgang District, Shenzhen, China. By analysing the building’s development history and transformation process, it is proven that XiPuXinJu has both the characteristics of traditional Hakka-enclosed houses and is obviously influenced by Guangfu architecture from the Han culture from ancient central China. XiPuXinJu is typical of western Canton with important historical value; its development is a microcosm of the destiny of numerous unlisted historical buildings that have survived the torrent of urbanization. The main problems faced by XiPuXinJu are (1) stripped environmental elements; (2) weakened traditional architectural style, with the need to improve quality and living comfort; and (3) high vacancy rate. This paper suggests solutions for the activated re-utilization of XiPuXinJu with regard to three aspects: environmental reconstruction, building renovation and the implementation of new functions.

ABSTRACT Situated at the center of cities, Iranian bazaars have not only shaped the structure of cities but also serve as a fundamental urban space. In recent decades, unsustainable developments deteriorating the old historic districts of cities have negatively influenced the physical, economic, and social aspects of bazaars. This is the most serious challenge of urban regeneration. Focusing on Shiraz and Kerman bazaars, the present research aims at proposing a new approach for studying the morphology of Iranian bazaars as highly distinguished urban sites. The qualitative method was applied to analyze these cases by conducting desk and field studies while investigating the historical maps of Shiraz and Kerman bazaars according to Trancik’s theories of urban spatial design (1986. Finding lost space: theories of urban design. John Wiley & Sons). Then, content analysis was used to extract the associated meaning of bazaar through in-depth interviews. The results show that Iranian bazaars, as an important urban space, have a pivotal organizational pattern according to figure-ground theory. Moreover, the so-called linkage theory suggested a group form and mega form role for Iranian bazaars which shapes the most important structure of the connections.

Lak, Pantea Hakimian","doi":"10.1080/13556207.2018.1543821","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/13556207.2018.1543821","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT Situated at the center of cities, Iranian bazaars have not only shaped the structure of cities but also serve as a fundamental urban space. In recent decades, unsustainable developments deteriorating the old historic districts of cities have negatively influenced the physical, economic, and social aspects of bazaars. This is the most serious challenge of urban regeneration. Focusing on Shiraz and Kerman bazaars, the present research aims at proposing a new approach for studying the morphology of Iranian bazaars as highly distinguished urban sites. The qualitative method was applied to analyze these cases by conducting desk and field studies while investigating the historical maps of Shiraz and Kerman bazaars according to Trancik’s theories of urban spatial design (1986. Finding lost space: theories of urban design. John Wiley & Sons). Then, content analysis was used to extract the associated meaning of bazaar through in-depth interviews. The results show that Iranian bazaars, as an important urban space, have a pivotal organizational pattern according to figure-ground theory. Moreover, the so-called linkage theory suggested a group form and mega form role for Iranian bazaars which shapes the most important structure of the connections. Finally, the results of place theory indicated that these bazaars carry a symbolic value for nearby residents.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":"24 1","pages":"207 - 223"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2018.1543821","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44419376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
