Objectives of the Course 1)To be able to recognize the production technology, social, economic, cultural structure, design, historical building materials, construction techniques of the period on the cultural architectural heritage industrial structure and to develop the ability to carry out comprehensive documentation studies,
2)To create an infrastructure for the conservation and re-functioning of historical industrial heritage structures, to develop critical thinking,
3)Intervention in the process of bringing the industrial structure to life with a new function by preserving the equipment of the building in accordance with its originality; To be able to produce solutions with a new design designed with contemporary technology by identifying the interior problems of the historical building, which is the product of the era in which it was built,
4)In the adaptive use of industrial buildings, it is aimed to bring cultural and artistic uses open to the public instead of individual use, while bringing them into social life, and making them structures that contribute to the urban culture.
Course Content The industrial structure that needs to be protected; analysis in the context of spatial, functional, demographic, art and architectural history; documentation of changes over time; making intervention decisions, etc. topics are discussed.
To raise awareness about the conservation and re-functioning of historical industrial heritage buildings and its contribution to urban culture; It is to provide information about the sustainability of cultural heritage, theoretical and practical principles, and international decisions by preserving the local identity, producing versatile solutions for architecture, urbanism, interior space in terms of public memory, and integrating with a new/contemporary interior design.
Course Methods and Techniques Within the scope of the presentation topics, bibliographic sources, legal status, archival documents from relevant institutions, maps, engravings, photographs, and, if available, restoration projects related to the selected building or historic environment are researched and examined. Based on the data obtained, the relationship between the original characteristics of the historic environment and contemporary architectural approaches is evaluated, and a synthesis is developed that includes design proposals for the integration of contemporary additional volumes and buildings into the historic environment.
Within the scope of the course, student presentations and critiques on selected presentation topics are conducted as midterm assessment activities. This activity consists of one presentation and critique process and contributes 40% to the overall grade. The end-of-semester assessment consists of the final submission of presentation boards and the submission of an abstract text, is evaluated as one final submission, and contributes 60% to the overall grade. The overall course grade is calculated based on 40% of the midterm studies and 60% of the end-of-semester assignment submission.
