Needless to say, the increase in the textual pro- duction on the city, which is so ‘cultured’ as to be designated as the European Capital of Culture in 2010, is not independent from the process of Istanbul’s becoming a ‘project,’ a ‘brand,’ a ‘cool’ city, and a fetish itself. Nor is it a coincidence that the subtitle of “urban transformations” in this bibliography occupies the largest part. Looking at MA and Ph.D. dissertations

Politecnico di Milano, Building Environment Science Technology (BEST) [email protected] TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES AND DISTRICT REHABILITATION Sustainable rehabilitation and preservation strategies in historic quarters Industrialisation, started with Industrial Revolution in mid 18th century by the invention of machines but advanced fast in early 19th century by establishing factories in large areas, has changed various aspects of life in terms of economy, architecture, design, and construction, rate of production, social life and politics. However one aspect, the nature, became very important in architecture field when there have been various and serious problems on four basic elements of planet: earth, air, water and fire. All these elements have been influenced badly after industrialisation period due to high demand for rapid and heavy construction regarding the all aspects above. Nowadays, in architecture it is inevitable to find a link between nature and construction, engineering and design to preserve the resources of life which can be called sustainability. This link is very essential in today's new architectural designs to sustain environment but it is more interesting and difficult to find the sustainable link for historical buildings which were constructed during economical revolutions. The structures were constructed with peculiar technology, serviceability in its own environment and definite district, as the time passes the possibility to withstand changing environment conditions would become complicated. In this paper, historical residential buildings, constructed in 19th century in Fener – Balat Istanbul, Turkey, an important example of cultural heritage district, will be analysed in terms of three different views.

    ARIT NEWSLETTER American Research Institute in Turkey Number 55, Spring 2013 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT President A. Kevin Reinhart Last spring the Council of American Overseas Research Centers (CAORC, based at the Smithson- Immediate Past President ian) kindly provided ARIT the services of a “fund-raising consultant” – Nanette Pyne, an old friend G. Kenneth Sams of mine, as it turns out, from back in my Cairo (ARCE) days. She generously and patiently worked Vice President with Nancy Leinwand and me to teach us the ways of fundraisers. We hope it will bear fruit this year. Nicolas Cahill ARIT was fortunate to receive a grant through the National Endowment for the Humanities, Divi- Secretary sion of Preservation of Access ($40,000) to assist in planning the management of the archives of the Linda Darling American Board of Missions (ABM) that we obtained last year. The American Board was a Protestant Treasurer mission agency founded in 1810 that dispatched missionaries around the world for religious ends Maria deJ.

Köprülü and high schools, and ten colleges in Anatolia and its surrounding areas. Unquestionably, the ABM Kathleen Lynch Beatrice Manz was the most significant American presence in the region during this era. Over the year archivist and Catherine Millard librarian Diane Ryan will twice visit Istanbul to determine the cataloging protocols for the archive, Sylvia Önder and to help set conservation priorities for the materials still in bundles (some still tied with string, Christopher Roosevelt sitting in the climate-controlled vaults of SALT).

  • Visibility Model of Tangible Heritage. Visualization of the Urban Heritage Environment with Spatial Analysis Methods
    heritage Article Visibility Model of Tangible Heritage. Visualization of the Urban Heritage Environment with Spatial Analysis Methods Elif Sarihan Department of Civil Engineering, University of Debrecen, 4028 Debrecen, Hungary; [email protected] Abstract: The methodological approach of the study proposes an innovative yet adaptive way to define and preserve heritage sites and their elements. In the case study, the proposed methodology guides the design/planning research of heritage sites by linking the perceptual behaviour with the information of the built environment. Visibility is the tool to measure the level of exposure of specific urban elements from a particular perspective. While isovist analyses define visibility in the built environment, fields of view from the periphery of heritage sites are applied to calculate visible or invisible areas by the observer. The purpose of the current study is the evaluation of the identification of the elements to be protected, by modelling both the heritage environment and the heritage elements according to the visibility criteria. For this purpose, I illustrate my approach by using visibility analyses and Space syntax analysis in the case of the Sulukule neighbourhood, the leading renewal project, in Istanbul. This area used to have notably cultural–historical assets–historic land walls, the lifestyle of Roma people—but now the renovation works carried out in the Sulukule case study site have affected the identity of the “visible” and “known” space of the historic quarter. Keywords: visibility analysis; isovist; field of view; urban heritage; built environment; Istanbul Citation: Sarihan, E. Visibility Model of Tangible Heritage.

  • The Case of Fener Balat Historical District in Istanbul
    D. Erbey & A.E. Erbas, Int. J. Sus. Dev. Plann. Vol. 12, No. 3 (2017) 498–507 THE CHALLENGES ON SPATIAL CONTINUITY OF URBAN REGENERATION PROJECTS: THE CASE OF FENER BALAT HISTORICAL DISTRICT IN ISTANBUL D. ERBEY & A.E. ERBAS Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Faculty of Architecture, City and Regional Planning Department, Istanbul, Turkey. ABSTRACT Urban regeneration projects in Turkey are the most important urban issues discussed and have social, economic and environmental aspects. In the last 10 years, many legislative regulations have been cre- ated by the national government in order to achieve urban regeneration. Today, urban space is produced by urban regeneration projects in Istanbul as it is in many other cities in Turkey. Urban regeneration practices are prepared not only for the former brownfield areas of the city but also for the historical urban environment. This raises heritage conservation issues for urban regeneration. The Fener and Balat district is one of the heritage sites located in the historical peninsula of Istanbul. This historical district has important features such as cultural enrichment, maintaining the urban identity and unique urban patterns. The EU-supported ‘District Fener Balat Rehabilitation Program’ was developed for the district after the 1996 Habitat II Conference in Istanbul. Urban regeneration projects have also been prepared for this historic district since 2006. In this paper, the urban regeneration projects for Fener Balat district will be analyzed, and the results will be discussed based on the technical expertise reports of administrative court proceedings and related to some results of the graduate theses supervised by the authors in the last 10 years.

  • Turkey 2007 Robert Phipps I Set Off from London Late on the Evening Of
    Turkey 2007 Robert Phipps I set off from London late on the evening of the 22nd of July and after a transfer in Zurich arrived in the small hours of the morning into Istanbul. Armed with a rough idea of how to get to the hostel I had booked I wasn’t wildly confident, but by chance I met a Turkish student who had been on the same flight. Engin literally walked me the length of Istiklal Caddesi (one of the main shopping streets in Istanbul) to a taxi driver and then promptly haggled and agreed the price for me. This was a kind deed in itself but given the fact it was nearly 4:00am I felt my newly found friend Engin had gone beyond the call of duty. However his kindness was something that I experienced often and throughout the whole of Turkey (a combination of ineptitude on my part with directions and Turkish friendliness) being led to my destination was a common occurrence and was symptomatic of a hospitality that was completely unexpected and contributed to making my five weeks in Turkey. During our late night stroll down Istiklal Caddesi Engin asked me on first impressions how I felt Turkey was different from Europe. The street we were walking down struck me as remarkably European, wide, with a tramline running down its middle and peppered with immediately recognisable shops such as Starbucks and Adidas. However as we turned off the main street onto one of the narrower side shopping streets the shops changed to music stores, not HMV or Virgin Megastore but smaller independently owned shops selling musical instruments as opposed to CDs and computer games.

  • Storari Grid Layouts
    URBAN TRANSFORMATION: CONTROVERSIES, CONTRASTS and CHALLENGES TRANSFORMATION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY URBAN FABRIC IN ISTANBUL’S HISTORICAL PENINSULA: STORARI GRID LAYOUTS. TAN KAMİL GÜRER Adres: Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Yıldız, Beşiktaş, İstanbul E-mail: [email protected] PINAR GÖZEK Adres: Yıldız Teknik Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Yıldız, Beşiktaş, İstanbul E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Urban transformation in the nineteenth century Istanbul is under the effects of westernization. Westernization was the modernization project of the Ottoman government. It begins with the declaration of Tanzimat (Ottoman Reform) in 1839 and spreads to lots of fields of the society. Urban planning decisions and the architecture of the period were also affected from the Tanzimat project by referring to western urban planning models – grid and radial plan – and architecture. Many foreign engineers and architects were invited to the Capital for applying the new planning models commonly after the great fires occurred in the Historical Peninsula. Luigi Storari was one of them who became known with application of first grid layouts and subdivision systems in the urban fabric of Istanbul. His grid layouts had different characteristics than others, which applied after him. Regions such as Aksaray, Imrahor, Salma Tomruk, Küçük Mustafa Paşa and Boyacıköy have certain typo-morphological features in its own: grid layout, the square with the beveled corners and the widened main arteries. This study will focus on the morphological characteristics of the Storari grid layouts in the Historical Peninsula. INTRODUCTION Eighteenth and nineteenth centuries are known as westernization periods in Ottoman Empire. Steps taken in this regard loomed large in many areas.
