The Adaptive Reuse of Kirkuk Citadel [conference Object]
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2017) Mokhtar, Mustafa; Korumaz, Mustafa
Knowledge and memory influence the interpretations of a built environment, implying particular expectations in regard to the built environments and their roles in a society. People and their culture constitute the spirits of a building and a space. Memory also can dominate many heritage users, individuals, social and political groups over many centuries. Memory and spirit of cultural heritage enriches cultural identity under the global development. The adaptive reuse of heritage buildings is valued for the contribution for social and environmental sustainability as well as retaining memory. The inherent value of cultural heritage components and their place within the community’s memory helps to reinforce sense of place. In conservation sense identity, memory and the relationships of people give cultural significance to historical places. Evolution of the built environments bridges past and present to the future and embrace memory. However the cities as organisms are in a dilemma along with the loss of city memories and city spirits. These collective memories that bring spirits to a place play very important role and determine the cultural significance of places. The main contribution of this study is to emphasize the importance of adaptive reuse as a carrier of spirits to have a collective memory in order to sustain the development of a place. This article explores the relations between spirit and memory of a place by focusing of adaptive reuse project in Kirkuk citadel. Aim of this study is to question and evaluate restoration of Kirkuk Citadel in terms of urban identity and sense of place referring the early Kirkuk city and development of it. This paper also intends to put important guidelines for the future restoration projects of Kirkuk citadel – which is very urgently required – and high lights the importance of revitalizing this area, which is now the semi-dead heart of the city. The paper advocates policy makers is to increase the adaptive reuse policy as an integral tool of regeneration and sustainability policies in order not to lose collective memory.
Architectural Survey of the Vaults of Sangallo’s House in Florence
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Belli, Gianluca; Bonora, Valentina; Guardini, Nadia; Güleç Korumaz, Saadet Armağan; Tucci, Grazia
1.1any technologies have been used in cultural heritage conservation and documentation in recent years. üne of these techniques, laser scanning which is increasingly becoming popular in late years is used for various purposes like surveying, modelling, archiving and visualization in the field of cultural heritage. Plenty of works have been done in heritage documentation with laser scanning technique allowing the user to achieve different information from a 3D model and helping to investigate the shape and components of heritage. This paper deals with how a 3D model can be used to identify the construction technique of heritage and the application of laser scanning for the generation of 3D models of the vaults in Sangallo's House in Firenze. The aim of this study is to compare the shape and the constructive techniques of surveyed vaults. To achieve this aim, we needed to obtain the thickness and the morphology of the vaults, and this information was provided by laser scanner survey. The paper presents applied technology and instruments used, steps of graphical evaluation and 3D, comparisons between the vaults. In order to make comparison, detailed surface modelling was needed to understand them and to be able to see the differences between construction techniques of the vaults. Leica HDS 6000 laser scanner was used for the generation of 3D model of the vaults. Then point clouds were registered in Cyclone. After that, cross sections were extracted from 3D model to understand vault thickness, shape and to have an idea about how they were built. The results will be displayed and evaluations will be made as conclusion.
Recognition of the Concept of Urban Identity Through the Place Attachment Case Study: Konya, Alaaddin Hill
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2017) Khaleghimoghaddam, Navid; Yılmaz Çakmak, Bilgehan
The “place attachment” is a definition by the meeting point of activities, functional elements, and abstract meanings of the place. A place can come to the scene by the place attachment which has emotional and behavioral characteristics for people. Squares, plays an important role in conceptual, functional and physical aspects at the point of increasing the quality of urban spaces. In this context, it is an important issue to consider the impressive factors that connect people to the space and the square, in the case that the squares are desired, preferred and identity-possessed. This research examines the concept of place attachment through the process of environmental psychology, explains the factors of feeling belonging to the place, and examines the role of place in the formation of the desired and identifiable urban squares. It is based on a cognitive approach aimed at evaluating space perception on Alaaddin Hill in Konya city. This research and field study was carried out by observation and questionnaire on square users, and as well as by analyzing descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study show that most of the users have place attachment. Thus, the user's perception and mind, proves that this square has an impressive role in gaining identity. The article thus prove that there is a relationship between place attachment and space identity, which can be addressed in the design of urban squares. Alaaddin Mosque from the Seljuk period is at the center of this square and is considered as an important factor in the user's place attachment. The easy and convenient access to the meadow enhances, the presence of trees, plants and landscapes, cafes, walking routes, located in the square of the city center and appropriate abstract and concrete landscapes increases the feeling of being connected to the place. It is expected that the results of this research will be effective in designing new squares of contemporary cities.
Restoration Laboratory Class and the Role of Geomatics in Cultural Heritage Education
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2014) Güleç Korumaz, Saadet Armağan; Korumaz, Mustafa; Bonora, Valentina; Tucci, Grazia
Conservation-restoration education has been discussed in context of teaching methods, curriculums, quality of courses and interdisciplinary relations since Bologna Declaration has started. Conservation-restoration classes are generally devoted to give general knowledge about theoretical background of restoration and to make some practices related to theoretical part with preparation of restoration project. In recent years, innovative technologies have given different opportunities to conservation-restoration practice and its education as well. University of Florence Restoration Laboratory class gives both theoretical and practical courses with innovative approach and interdisciplinary study. In this course GECO3 Laboratory provides methodologies and tools with new techniques in documentation/surveying and analysis of cultural heritage. This support would be very effective for students’ future studies and practices in their professional life. The aim of this paper is to represent an approach to conservation-restoration education adopted by University of Florence, to explain possible integration between different disciplines and to emphasize the significance of geomatics laboratories in conservation-restoration education.
Touristic Accommodation Facilities in the Light of Ecological Approaches
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2017) Kürüm Varolgüneş, Fatma; Canan, Fatih
Depending on the intense life of modern human, the desire for recreation, entertainment and discovering different places has caused the concept of tourism to grow and diversify day by day. The phenomenon of tourism that has developed after 1990s had faced a burst after 1980s and the people has filled the coasts with hotels in order to access the triple of 'sea, sand and sun'. The significant damages caused by mass tourism have directed the tourism industry to alternative tourism types and to design of facilities adopting ecological approach. The designs formed in the light of ecological approaches are reviving the local memory by reflecting the characteristics of the relevant area, and are revealing structural approaches which are susceptible to environment. In this context, the examples of touristic buildings at different areas of the world which are designed based on the ecological architecture criteria had been reviewed in literature, and the contribution they provide to natural environment had been searched. As the result of these researches, the principles that are being based on the design of ecological touristic accommodation facilities had been determined, and the contribution of these buildings to nature had been revealed. It is being observed that the selected and examined touristic facilities bear traces peculiar to the area they are constructed, and that they support the ecological facility comprehension through their materials, formal characteristics which are in conformity with nature, and through their approaches that are not constituting waste material in nature, using the energy efficiently and imposing restrictions on consumption of natural resources. As the result of this research, it will be tried to determine what kinds of principles are being based on in the formation of ecological touristic accommodation facilities.
Uav Systems for Documentation of Cultural Heritage
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2014) Güleç Korumaz, Saadet Armağan; Korumaz, Mustafa; Tucci, Grazia; Bonora, Valentina; Niemeier, Wolfgang; Riedel, Björn
Architectural documentation is an activity which requires getting information from different sources for complete and comprehensive analysis. In the field of architectural documentation different innovative systems have been developed in survey like digital photogrammetry and Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS). One of these techniques Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with a digital camera have become one of the most promising techniques in last years. It opens various new applications in large scale and close-range and so becoming progressively common due to the considerable potentials in terms of accuracy, costs and abilities. Their capability of data acquisition with high resolution allows texture mapping on DSM (Digital Surface Model), 3D models and orthophotos. It is also possible to create mosaics, maps and drawings which can be used for image interpretation. These data can be applied to several applications including 3D documentation of environment, cultural heritage, monitoring and recording landscape data and infrastructural assets for risk analysis and management process. This paper discusses the potentials of UAVs in order to analyze, interpret and manage cultural heritage data through a case study (carried out before). It also presents the procedure of processing UAV data in order to create digital surface models and photo-realistic outputs for digital reconstruction models and visualization. The obtained results have been demonstrated with case study and general discussion has been made for evaluating potential of UAV technique for cultural heritage documentation.
Vernacular Settlements in Cultural Continuity Context
(Konya Technical University Faculty of Architecture and Design, 2012) Yılmaz Çakmak, Bilgehan; Çınar, Kerim
Analysing vernacular settlements, in contex of reservation of cultural heritage and transferring local identity to future generations, are coming into prominence day by day. In this respect, Anatolia has rich sources in global literature ,especially in residental design. Vernacular settlements in :Middle Anatolia, are the best examples of the cultural herritage in terms of spatial organization and configuration characteristics. According to syntax of spaces and functional hiyerarshy, analysing the spatial structure of rural dwellings is very important Because these analyses helps us to explain and understand traditional space culture and effection of life style to spatial form. Konya as a research area, has significiant examples of residental culture in different geographies which consists of several topographic and climatic properties. By analysing rural dwellings in vernacular settlements, it is determined that, they are differentiated plain and mount dwellings according to life styles and environmental factors. It caused metamorphosis in spatial organization and functional structure by the reflection of user requirements. With the support of technological methods, analysing traditional spaces with modem techniques, is qualified as a "innovative movement". In this study a mathematical method called "space syntax" is used in proving the relation of spatial organization and social life. By using this technological method , some findings about functional structure and spatial connection occured. These findings are used to understand the relation of socio-cultural life and spatial configuration. As a conclusion, it is determined that the trails of culture can be seen in usage and syntax of spaces. The relation of social life and spatial configuration is provided as objective criterion with the help of technological method. And it is predicted as a innovative method in recent house designs.
