The beauty of the world we live in is highlighted by a number of unique structures made by the hands of mankind. These valuable assets need to be protected and kept ‘alive’ for the benefit of the upcoming generations. As an important contribution of the Ottoman era to the world’s architectural heritage, Yashar Pasha Mosque in Kosovo is one of these unique structures in need of protection and conservation. The subject of this study is to analyze the current structural system of the building and to suggest strengthening interventions for this 180 years-old mosque which encounters severe safety and stability problems as of today. Computer aided finite element analyses were performed through SAP 2000 software and were used to assess the current status of the mosque and to determine the structural problems of the building. The parameters required for these analyses such as material characteristics are obtained from the documents prepared by A Proje for Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) and are introduced to the software. These analyses have been conducted under self-weight of the mosque and seismic loadings and in accordance with these analyses, the strengthening interventions are proposed. Additionally, beside the proposal of the author, two different strengthening methods that are proposed for the mosque by A Proje and Predrag Gavrilovic are also taken into consideration in the study. These three intervention proposals are investigated in order to decide the most appropriate method with respect to contemporary criteria. Lastly, the performance and effectiveness of these strengthening methods are evaluated and the results are discussed.

Virtual presentation of cultural heritage case study: Ani / JodeirieRajaie, Maryam; Gökce, Fuat; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2014) The field of preservation of historic and cultural heritage has been a multidisciplinary science from the beginning. And the demand for any pioneer technique that may ease the conservation task still lives. In the past four decades computational design has started grow with the aim of conservation and the evolution of its techniques have been helping the specialists in nearly every step of decisions they make, notably in archeology. The digital data derived from a physical site, whether it is an object, mon...
A Framework for sustainable urban mobility in historic urban landscapes: a proposal for antalya kaleiçi Uluç, Aynur; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2014) The main subject of the thesis is the mobility systems in historic urban landscapes. In this respect, the aim of the thesis is to provide “a framework for Sustainable Urban Mobility (SUM) in Historic Urban Landscapes (HULs)” together with the process, principles and tools that will solve the mobility problems while contributing to conservation and promotion its values and significance. In this regard, the thesis is structured mainly in two parts. In the first part, the current mobility systems, existing pro...

Revealing and restrengthening the relation of memory places and heritage places: the case of the Hisarbaşı neighborhood in Milas Usta, Esra Nur; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2018) Most of the towns are the outcome of a continual historical development process, reflected as the existence of components of different layers in the contemporary urban space. Life and experiences of the inhabitants take place in this multilayered urban space. Hence, the existing urban space keeps history and personal stories alive. This coherence constitutes a relation between memories in minds of people and traces in their physical environment. The mnemonic effect of physical environment leads to identity,...
A Study for the conservation of Ertem olive-oil factory in Ayvalık / Yıldız, Gözde; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2017) Conservation and re-adaptation of industrial heritage has been a quite important aspect in the sense of continuity of the historic industrial character of the place for future generations. Industrial buildings usually lost their functions due to the fast technological developments and changing within production/consumption systems. This inevitable functional loss caused the obsolete structures which are regarded as industrial heritage. It is essential to conserve and recover the post-industrial landscapes t...
