Traditional and innovative material usage on building restoration timber frame housing example

2014-05-04
Basically, traditional housing has shaped according to local materials and climate. As we can observe many examples surviving today, Traditional Turkish Houses caught the system that Green Buildings are trying to catch, hundreds years ago. During their restorations, for being able to adapt today’s comfort conditions and life style, innovative material usage is inevitable as well as reintegration exercises with traditional material usage. For those reasons new material’s features are important during the integration of new materials to the traditional ones. In this paper, the integration of innovative material to traditional material is analyzed, by looking deeply in to timber frame traditional housing examples. By considering the restoration works done till today, in new projects it is aimed to prevent the conservation of the traditional Turkish House identity, the concept of architecture being shaped according to climate, area and nature. The aim of this work is to emphasize that restoration science is not only visual; it should also supervise the vital needs.

Material Characterization of Mudbrick and Neighbouring Plasters in Traditional Timber Framed Structures
Erdil, Meltem; Madani, Nigar; Alam, Burhan; Tavukçuoğlu, Ayşe (null; 2017-07-06)
The 19th century timber dwellings reflect the experience of the past on materials and construction technologies of the traditional timber frame structures in Anatolia. However, those houses suffer mostly from wrong repairs due to incompatible materials and inappropriate construction detailing. Wrong repairs introduce and/or accelerate many problems, such as moisture problems, salt decay, thermal and structural failures. Comprehensive studies are, therefore, needed to improve the knowledge for the planning o...
Vernacular timber houses of Uzungöl: examining / analyzing them in their re-functioning process
Çiçek, Ümit Gökhan; Gökce, Fuat; Department of Architecture (2012)
The aim of this study is to define structural and architectural features of vernacular houses in Uzungöl, town of Çaykara, Trabzon and to determine intervention types of houses in order to prevent loosing original architectural characteristics. For this purpose, the studies that were carried out about the history, geographical/physical character, settlement pattern and socio-economic character of the region in general and the district of the study area were surveyed. To be able to take reliable results, a s...
An Inquiry into the values and problems for conservation of traditional mud brick houses in Ağlasun, Burdur
Can, Cansu; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2019)
The buildings, constituting rural architecture, reflect the environment, in which they are located, as well as the socio-cultural, economical and traditional features of rural life because of being built with local construction materials. Therefore, the conservation of rural architecture contributes to the continuity of rural heritage, which is an essential part of cultural heritage. Traditional houses constitute a significant part of the civil architecture in rural. However, most of them are in danger of e...
An Informed process for new building design in historic settlement: the case of İbrahimpaşa Village, Cappadocia-Turkey
Binoğul, Beril; Özgönül, Nimet; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2019)
Historical settlements are heritage sites which are formed in time, in accordance with the landform, climate, local materials and traditional living styles which all together specify the original characteristics of that area. They should be able to change and develop according to the needs, while they also maintain the continuity of their original characteristics. In this concept, new buildings in historical settlements is a conservation problem and solutions should be provided to maintain the values of the...
Stabilization of expansive soils by using red mud
Çağlar, Cemre; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Expansive soils are generally existing in semi-arid and arid regions of the world. This type of soils expands when they absorb water and shrink when they dry out. Expansive soils are causing problems to the lightweight structures. The purpose of the study is to suggest a cost-effective alternative method for coping with these problems. The widely used traditional method is the stabilization of the soil with the chemical admixtures. In this study; waste red mud and waste fly ash were used as stabilizers. The...
