Structural and Ornamental Use of Timber in Hagia Triada Church, Ayvalık Keywords: Conservation, Timber-Frame Structural System, Hagia Triada Church, Ayvalık Abstract Intoduction: This paper has emerged within the scope of "Design in Architectural Conservation" course of METU, Department of Architecture, Graduate Program in Conservation of Cultural Heritage in the fall semester of 2017. This paper aims to reveal the various structural and ornamental uses of timber and analyze the construction details of Hagia Triada Church. Hagia Triada, a 19th century Greek Orthodox Church in Ayvalık was examined. Developments: Hagia Triada Church is located in Ayvalık which was an important Greek settlement during 18th and 19th century. The church was built in 1846 as the last church of 11 churches settled in the town. It has a basilical plan with three naves and a gallery floor above the narthex located in west. Composite system applied to the building, stone masonry and timber frame structure is used together. Main outer walls and narthex were constructed with the stone masonry while the roof and gallery floor were constructed with the timber frame. In addition, roof structure is carried by monolithic timber columns which divide the naves and the roof structure is covered by ornamented timber ceilings. Since the church is mostly demolished, construction techniques that have very rare characteristics of timber system can be observed in a detailed way. Remarks and Conclusion: The Hagia Triada Church reflects the details of craftsmanship, timber construction system and techniques, material usage and artistic features of its period. This is very important in terms of documentation because all the information on timber construction technique of its period is gathered with detailed examination and documentation. Therefore, the examination and documentation of the building gains more importance to conserve it and transfer in it to future generations

A Study on reusing Bouleuterion of Teos / Çalışkan, Merve; Gökce, Fuat; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2015) This study is constructed upon the question of “How should we approach to a building in an archaeological site for its compatible and sustainable utilization?” as a contemporary phenomenon which was and still has been considered for ancient places of performances and Bouleuterion in Teos Archaeological site - an architectural remain in excavation process, is assessed as the case of the study. For this reason, starting with a generic research on ‘reusing’ of historic buildings, the research on the utilizatio...
Construction techniques of traditional Güdül houses Yaren Celen, Nu; Gökce, Fuat; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2019) The aim of this study is to prepare comprehensive and reliable documentation about construction techniques and materials of traditional houses in Güdül, district of Ankara, considering construction processes. For this purpose, studies about general features and history of Güdül as well as preservation activities in the settlement were collected and reviewed. By evaluating collected information from literature research and documentation of collected data on site surveys, architectural characteristics of Güdü...
A numerical procedure for the nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete frames with infill walls Güney, Murat Efe; Polat, Mustafa Uğur; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Materially non-linear analysis of reinforced concrete frame structures with infill walls requires appropriate mathematical models to be adopted for the beams and the columns as well as the infill walls. This study presents a mathematical model for frame elements based on a 3D Hermitian beam/column finite element and an equivalent strut model for the infill walls. The spread-of-plasticity approach is employed to model the material nonlinearity of the frame elements. The cross-section of the frame element is ...
From houses to house museums: architectural representation of different narrations Günhan, Aslıhan; Savaş Sargın, Ayşen; Department of Architecture (2011) The transformation of historic houses into house museums is not only a current issue within the field of museology, but also a new phenomenon for architecture. The deconstruction of the term “house museum” into “house” and “museum” and the meaning these terms acquire, have the potential to generate a new discussion in architecture. Besides being a physical dwelling unit, “house” will be interpreted as a domestic space where the inhabitants are able to personalize. A museum, on the other hand, will be approa...
The Conservation of ‘Anafartalar Çarşısı’ as an example of modern architectural heritage in Ankara Kısaer, Elif Miray; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2019) From the 20th century, attempts for the conservation of Modern Architecture buildings have begun; consequently, the notion of ‘modern heritage places’ emerged in the conservation field with many issues. The state of belonging to the recent past, the sense of aesthetics, the modern building techniques and materials and ideologic manner in decision-making process are the main conservation issues of the modern heritage. As varying on a wide scale from the attitude of societies to the ideology of politics, thes...
