Volume) PREFACE Ancient Structures referring to the historical buildings are the structures that symbolize the cultural identity and continuity of a land with its architectural, aesthetic, social, political, spiritual and symbolic values. Its age, technological significance with its design, materials and workmanship, association with a prominent designer, being the oldest example of a type or location in a historical setting and representing a period are all notable features to call a structure to be historical. Conservation of historical constructions requires a harmonious work of multidisciplinary team of specialists dealing with history, architecture and different fields of engineering. The 2nd International Congress on “Studies in Ancient Structures-SAS2001” organized by the Faculty of Architecture of Yıldız Technical University, İstanbul, with the support of ICOMOS-Turkey is held in İstanbul on July 9-13, 2001. İstanbul, the only city in the world built on two continents and served as capital of three empires namely East Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empire is one of the most suitable places to communicate the rapid advances made in theoretical approaches, applied aspects and new materials and technologies for studies in preservation of the historical heritage. The Congress aimed at providing an international and interdisciplinary forum for discussion of the studies on ancient structures and to give researchers and practitioners an opportunity to exchange experiences and knowledge on preservation of the historical heritage. These Proceedings containing papers sent by the specialists of different fields to the SAS2001 Congress is grouped according to their content, rather than according to their presentation, inorder to make it more useful as a reference text. Volume 1 contains Chapters on: Historical and Architectural Aspects of Ancient Structures and Historical Sites; Documentation of Ancient Structures Historical Environment; and Structural Concepts and Analysis of Historical Structures and Sites; Volume II contains Chapters on Experimental Methods and Test Results in Building Materials of Ancient Structures and Historical Sites; Restoration and Preservation Techniques in Ancient Structures and Historical Sites; and Environmental Aspects and Future of Historical Structures and Sites. The author index at the end of each Volume covers all papers in both Volumes. Each of the papers included in these Proceedings was selected from a much larger group of submittals.
