In this lecture, Emrah Köşgeroğlu who is master architect and specialist on restoration gave some information about protection of cultural heritage. First of all he mentioned about what cultural heritage is. There is two kinds of cultural heritage;
– Concrete Cultural Heritage
- Portable cultural heritage such as picture, sculpture, money, book..etc.
- Immovable cultural heritage such as monuments, archeological sites, urban sites, civil architecture works..etc.
- Sub-aquatic cultural heritage such as underwater architectural works and cities..etc.
– Non-concrete cultural Heritage such as oral works, performing arts, traditions..etc.
There 2 main laws about protection of cultural heritage. All the restoration is planned respect to these laws. The first law published in 1983 and called as “Law of protection of cultural and natural existence”. And the second one is about reorganizing the first law in 2004. The architects are interested in the protection of the law.
The restoration process has mainly 4 stages;
- Decision of protection
- Drawing s of building survey and restoration
- Agreement of regional protection institutions
- Application
Team of Restoration;
- Restoration Experts
- Architects
- Landscape Architects | Urban Planners
- Art Historians
- Engineers
- Experts of protection of material
Protection process is applied respect to Venice Charter 1964, which are universal principles. Interventions made to the structure should be compatible with the structure as technical, material and design, be reversible and distinguishable from the original structure. Reconstruction is not restoration or not protection.
While working on restoration of a structure, three projects are drawn. Relief and analysis about site, which shows the situation now. Restitution plan is drawn which is the first appearance of the structure. Interferences are drawn which shows the finished state of the project. Köşgeroğlu gave 2 examples of application. They are Anavarza Antik Kenti Giriş Kapısı(Adana), and Mamure Hamamı (Anamur).
