Modern period urban heritage sites as fragmented contexts: conservation principles and strategies for the existing traces and components of Hermann Jansen’s Adana plan Sağıroğlu, Tuğba; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Department of Architecture (2017) Conservation of the heritage of modern movement is a relatively recent issue, where the focus is mainly on the particular buildings more than the urban tissue as a whole. As a consequence, urban tissues of modern movement are destructed by various interventions, which make them highly fragmented or even lost totally. Thereupon, it becomes important to deal with the problem of fragmentation of the urban tissues of modern movement, re-trace their existing and lost components and conserve the existing ones by ...
