Course Objectives:

The aim of the course is to make students to gain the ability to recognize, investigate and evaluate historic structures. With this course, to give basic information on architectural documentation, techniques of surveying and analysis of cultural assets to be conserved, reasons of deterioration in historic buildings, restoration techniques, adaptive reuse of historic buildings, restoration process and conservation practise in Turkey, is also aimed.

Course Content:

Content of the course includes, measured drawing techniques and surveying techniques to analyse structural condition and deterioration in cultural assets, photography and documentation for architectural survey, analysis of historic buildings to be conserved, preparatory work before restoration, preparation of surveying and restoration projects, reasons of deterioration in historic buildings, restoration techniques and adaptive reuse of historic buildings, restoration and conservation practise in Turkey. With a final term assessment, measured drawings of an historic building are produced and a restoration and conservation proposal is developed as a report.
