Biographical/Historical Note Pierre de Gigord, a French business man, is one of seven children born to Colonel François de Gigord and Anne Agnès Thérèse "Solange" d'Ussel. His father instilled an early love of travel in the young Gigord. In 1964 en route to a hitchhiking trip to India Gigord stopped first in Istanbul where an aunt, Mme. H. de Saint Peine, granddaughter of the founder of the Banque ottomane and régie des tabacs, introduced him to the city. Fascinated by the city, Gigord began to make yearly trips to the Bosporus which he financed by importing traditional Turkish crafts, such as jewelry and textiles, to France. In 1969 he founded Anastasia, a ready-to-wear folkloric-inspired line of clothing. He further expanded his business in 2002 with the opening of the Diwali boutiques specializing in jewelry and accessories from India. In the 1970s Gigord's travels in the Middle East led him to become interested in the accounts of travel writers and painters who took Turkey and the Ottoman Empire as their subject, and he began to collect paintings, prints and books. Bridging Europe and Asia, Istanbul was for centuries considered the gateway between western Europe and the East. Although the Ottoman Empire had a long-standing relationship with Western Europe, the early visual imagery of Turkey was for the most part highly imaginary until the late eighteenth century publication of Ignatius Mourdgea d'Ohsson's multi-volume Tableau général de l'empire ottoman (1787-1820). Only a few decades later Louis Daguerre announced the invention of his eponymously named photography process (1839), and that same year a French expedition set out to record the east with this new technology. In 1980, struck by the "real" of photographic images, as opposed to the "imaginary" of paintings, Gigord began to collect postcards. He bought his first album of photographs of Turkey at auction in 1982, and over the next twelve years amassed substantial collections of both postcards and photographs.

Acquired from Pierre de Gigord in 1996. A supplement of 53 photographs, including 16 cartes-de-visite and six views of Istanbul by James Robertson and six by Robertson and Beato, was received as a donation from Gigord in late 1996. Processing History Isotta Poggi began the processing and cataloging of the collection from 1996 to 1997. Paul Arenson continued processing and cataloging the collection from 2000 to 2002 and created a preliminary and partial finding aid. In the summer of 2009 Emily McKibben created shot lists for digitization, provided additional cataloging and reviewed the existing finding aid. Soohyun Yang continued these activities in 2011 and 2012. In 2013 Beth Ann Guynn, with the assistance of Linda Kleiger and Lilly Tsukahira, completed the processing and cataloging of the collection, revised the existing finding aid to conform to current cataloging standards and completed the finding aid. Digital collection Some albums in Series I have been digitized. Digital images are provided for study purposes only. Scope and Content of Collection Spanning two centuries and roughly one hundred years, the collection of over 6,000 photographic images forms a visual record of the late years of the Ottoman Empire and the formation and early years of the Republic of Turkey. The collection focuses on cultural and urban images, mainly of Constantinople (Istanbul), the capital of the Ottoman Empire, but other geographic areas, such as the Balkans, and other cities and towns within the empire such as Bursa and Smyrna (Izmir) are included, as are a few images from places such as Greece, Egypt, Jerusalem, India and China. The collection is supported by a small group of pamphlets and offprints regarding photography in the Ottoman Empire and by a small assemblage of photographic ephemera. The first photographs of the Ottoman Empire were likely taken on February 8, 1840 by Goupil Fresquet in the harbor of Izmir. From this date forward the Ottoman Empire, and especially its magnificent capital, attracted a large number of photographers of both European and eastern origin. The voracious European appetite for images of the Ottoman Empire is evidenced by the fact that most of the present collection was acquired on the European market. The earliest photographs in the collection include Claude-Marie Ferrier's glass lantern slides and glass plate negatives of Istanbul and views of the Bosporus from the 1850s; images of Istanbul, Athens, Jerusalem, and Egypt and Ottoman portraits and "types", made in the 1850s by the Englishman James Robertson, chief engraver at the Imperial Ottoman Mint, alone and with his partner and brother-in-law Felice Beato; and the poitevin prints made after photographs taken by Pierre Trémaux during his 1853-1854 journey to the archaeological sites of Asia Minor. Gigord collected thematically. Although the collection is arranged by format, his method of collecting is especially evident in the loose and single photographs as well as in the albums which, rather than being general compilations, tend to focus on specific subjects, time periods or geographic areas. Views and monuments of Istanbul and the Bosporus are copiously represented in the collection. In addition to the twelve joined panoramas of the city and environs there are also numerous general views of specific geographic areas and neighborhoods. Monuments frequently represented include mosques and churches such as the Süleymaniye mosque, the Sultan Ahmed or Blue Mosque, the Ortayköy mosque and the former mosque and church/mosque of Hagia Sophia. Palaces include the Topkapi Palace and Dolmabahçe Palace. Istanbul's Roman past is represented by views of the Hippodrome and its Serpent Column, Walled Obelisk and Obelisk of Theodosius, and by the Burnt Column and the Valens aqueduct; while the city's medieval Genoan history is represented by views of the Galata Tower. The Bosporus strait, and the seas it joins – the Black Sea and the Sea of Marmara – are extensively documented, as is the Golden Horn and its bridges, and especially the Galata Bridge. The Ottoman fortresses built to defend the Bosporus (Rumeli Hisari built by Mehmed II, and Anadolu Hisari built by Bayezid I) are frequently depicted. Life on the Bosporus and surrounding seas is portrayed in abundant views of boating, both for pleasure and transportation, fishing and fishermen, and by the waterfront residences in both humble villages and the yalis or villas of wealthy residents. Frequent depictions of steamers attest to the bustling international shipping and tourist industries. The collection contains numerous photographs of Turkish "types", including occupational portraits as well as portraits of representatives of the many ethnic groups who comprised the greater Ottoman Empire. Costume is an enduring interest, beginning with James Robertson's rare hand-colored portraits of women and occupations. The "dame turque" is a prevalent theme. While the occupational portraits are often posed, there are also numerous genre and street scenes that include food and dry goods vendors, and small shops such as cobbler's stalls. Agricultural scenes and grain markets as well as the tobacco industry represent rural Turkey. While a great many of the people portrayed in the collection are identified by "type" or ethnicity rather than name, the collection does contain a good number of portraits of sultans, and named pashas, military leaders, dignitaries and the middle and upper class patrons of the numerous portrait studios found in the cities. Beginning in the late nineteenth century there is an increased representation of historical events that continues into the early twentieth century. These range from state visits and ceremonies, to the opening of railways, and to events related to World War I such as the Battle of Gallipoli and the Caucasus Campaign, the occupation of Turkey by allied troops after the war, and the formation of the Republic of Turkey.

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.

    WOMEN PATRONS IN MEDIEVAL ANATOLIA AND A DISCUSSION OF MĀHBARĪ KHĀTŪN’S MOSQUE COMPLEX IN KAYSERI PATRICIA BLESSING* At the center of Kayseri, facing the well-preserved citadel stands a large architectural complex, consisting of a mosque, madrasa, mauso- leum, and the ruins of a double bathhouse [See figure 1]. The building, known locally as the Hunad Hatun or Huand Hatun Complex, was built in the second quarter of the thirteenth century. Inscriptions on both por- tals of the mosque date to 1237-38, while the other parts of the complex remain undated. At the time of construction, the patron of the complex, Māhbarī Khātūn, was the mother of the ruling Sultan Ghiyāth al-Dīn Kaykhusraw II (R 1237-46) and of the widows of the Sultan ‘Alā’ al-Dīn Kayqubād (R 1219-37).1 With her intervention in Kayseri and the con- struction of two caravanserais near Tokat and Yozgat, Māhbarī Khātūn is one of the most prolific female patrons in medieval Anatolia, and the one who is best documented inmonumental inscriptions, although not in much detail in other written sources of the period, such as chronicles and hagiographies. * Dr., Stanford Humanities Center, Stanford University, 424 Santa Teresa Street, Stan- ford, CA 94305, USA; [email protected]. 1 In modern Turkish, the name is more commonly spelled as Mahperi Hatun. Huand Hatun appears as a Turkish adaptation of the titles Khwand Khātūn. Another wife of the Sultan ‘Alā’ al-Dīn Kayqubād was Iṣmat al-Dunyā wa’l-Dīn al-Malika al-‘Ādila, a daughter of the Ayyubid ruler of Syria, al-Malik al-Ashraf Abū Bakr b.

It was founded on an area of the Istanbul peninsula which commands views of the Golden Horn on one side, and the Bosphorus Strait and the Sea of Marmara, on the other. It is a complex of buildings in three parts (birun, enderun and harem) situated within large gardens. The birun is between the first gate, Bab-# Hümayun (Imperial Gate), and the third gate, Babü’s-Saade (Gate of Felicity). The first courtyard accommodated the service buildings, the imperial mint, military barracks, ministries and other governmental offices. The second courtyard was called Alay Meydan# and housed the Divan-# Hümayun – also called ‘Under the Dome’ – the treasury, the kitchens, stables and the entrance to the harem. Ceremonies, for instance enthronement, the royal hearing in case of emergencies known as Alay Divan# (Assembly on Foot) and the celebration of feasts, were made in front of the Gate of Felicity. The sultan’s throne was also placed near the Gate; and the Holy Flag (Sancak-# #erif), the very symbol of the Ottoman Sultan as Caliph, was raised here when it was taken out of the Pavilion of the Holy Mantel on ceremonial occasions.

Tarihi yapının sahip olduğu değerlerin farkına varılarak kullanılması, kültürel mirasın yaşam sürecini uzatan bir yaklaşımdır. Bu yaklaşımın tersi olarak kültür mirasının sahip olduğu değerleri koruyamayan yeniden kullanım önerileri ise tarihi yapıların özgün kimliklerine zarar vermekte, bazı durumlarda ise geri dönülmez hasarlara sebep olmaktadır. Karaman il merkezinde yer alan, Karamanoğulları Beyliği dönemine ait Hatuniye Medresesi (Melek Hatun, Nefise Hatun) uzun yıllar yeniden kullanım çalışmalarına konu olmuştur. Yapı için önerilen fonksiyonlar kısa süreli işlevsel olmuşsa da kalıcı bir fonksiyon seçilememiş ve farklı nedenlerden dolayı yapı verimli bir şekilde kullanılamamıştır. Her fonksiyon sonrasında yapı kullanılmadan bekletilmiş ve değişik şekillerde zarar görmüştür. Bu makale kapsamında, medrese yapısının tarihi önemine ve geçirdiği müdahalelere yönelik toplu bilgi verilerek, yeniden kullanım olanaklarına yönelik değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Araştırma konusu yapının yeniden kullanımına yönelik morfolojik, teknik, fonksiyon ve stratejik değerlendirmelerden oluşmaktadır. Yapının yeniden işlevlendirilmesine yönelik analitik sonuçlar elde edebilmek için SWOT analizi yapılmış, yapının yeniden kullanımında güçlü yönler ile tehditlerin ağırlıklı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Hatuniye Medresesi özelinde anıt eserlerin yeniden kullanım olanaklarına yönelik bir yaklaşım paylaşılmıştır.

Black Sea/Mediterranean Environment Vol. 18, No.2: 223-237 (2012) RESEARCH ARTICLE Fishing at the Galata Bridge, Đstanbul, in 2011-2012 Nao Iwano 1,2 *, Ayaka Amaha Öztürk 2,3 1Faculity of Marine Science, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology, Minato-ku, Tokyo, JAPAN 2Faculty of Fisheries, Istanbul University, 34470, Laleli-Istanbul, TURKEY 3Turkish Marine Research Foundation (TUDAV), 34820, Beykoz-Istanbul, TURKEY *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The Galata Bridge, located at the entrance of the Gulf of Golden Horn, Istanbul, is famous for many fishermen fishing from the bridge. The Bridge was visited regularly to collect the information on the fish species and amount caught, fishing equipment, and number of fishermen from March 2011 to March 2012. Trachurus spp. , Spicara spp. and Mugil spp. were typically seen throughout the year. In addition, with seasonal change, 20 fish species were observed. The average number of fishermen was 203 per day, and the estimated total fish catch amount at the Galata Bridge was about 64 tonnes in a year. Number of fishermen found at the Galata Bridge was constant throughout the year. Fishing materials such as fishing rods, fishing lines, baits and fishing weight, were found easily available at the bridge. This is the first systematic study on the fishing and related activities at the Galata Bridge. Keywords: Galata Bridge, Golden Horn, amateur fishing, Istanbul Introduction Generally speaking, Turkish people do not consume much fish compared to the average fish consumption of the world although Turkey is surrounded by the Black Sea, Aegean Sea and Mediterranean Sea, which is a good position to consume various fish and sea food.
