Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: Today, many architects challenge modern conservation principles and architectural dogmas with the projects they design. In this course, we aim to explore and conceptualize what experimental, innovative or controversial architectural strategies are used to reuse and transform existing buildings, structures and landscapes. We also seek new theoretical and operational approaches that question conventions about how current architectural practice relates to the existing built environment and heritage.
Course Content: The course begins by examining the history of conservation and restoration theory. In the continuation of this, the theoretical approaches of the architectural dimension of the conservation and restoration issue will be examined. The principles of evaluating the existing building stock, whether registered or not, will be discussed. Our experience of almost a century in Turkey, starting from the 1950s and extending to the present, will be evaluated. The reflections of the theoretical approach of conservation and restoration in practice will be presented through examples.

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) To have knowledge about the history of conservation theory
2) Generating concepts for the assessment of existing building stock
3) To be able to discuss conservation theory judgments through sample applications.
