Reconstruction
❖
by The Department of Interior of the United States
defined the following treatment approaches to
architectural conservation
Preservation “places a high premium on the
retention of all historic fabric through
conservation, maintenance and repair. It reflects a
building’s continuum over time, through
successive occupancies, and the respectful changes
and alterations that are made”
– The Department of Interior of the United States
Rehabilitation “emphasizes the retention and
repair of historic materials, but more latitude is
provided for replacement because it is assumed
the property is more deteriorated prior to work”
– The Department of Interior of the United States
Adaptive reuse refers to the process of reusing an
old site or building for a purpose other than which
it was built or designed for.
– The Department of Interior of the United States
Restoration “focuses on the retention of materials
from the most significant time in a property’s
history, while permitting the removal of materials
from other periods.”
– The Department of Interior of the United States
Reconstruction “establishes limited opportunities
to re-create a non-surviving site, landscape,
building, structure, or object in all new materials”
–Johnny Appleseed
Conservation Strategies
❖
“saklamak anlamında korumak (depoculuk-bekçilik)
❖
sergilemek üzerine korumak (müzecilik)
❖
değiştirmeden (onararak) kullanmak (onarımcılık)
❖
değiştirerek (sağlıklaştırarak, ekleyerek) kullanmak (yapıcılık)
❖
yenileyerek (yeniden yaparak) kullanmak (yıkıp-yapmacılık)
❖
belgelemek ötesinde yok oluş sürecine müdahale etmemek (seyircilik)”
❖
