Conference Object Urban Pornography: Anti-Places of Modern Architectural Heritage in Turkey(Docomomo, 2021) Kesim, Berk; Baturayoğlu Yöney, Nilüfer; Yöney, Nilüfer BaturayoğluPlaces are distinctive yet sometimes architecture may degrade them by design: Rebuilding the same architectural entity may not always reproduce the authentic place and its attributes but instead create anti-places in the urban environment, which may absorb and deprive the surrounding settings by creating sameness. The term pornography here has no erotic connotations but describes an image-oriented anti-design attitude, the way architects may create anti-places by copying, pasting, overemphasizing, and thus, objectifying certain place attributes. The urban-scape exposed by architectural design and deprived of its dignity is urban pornography. The paper focuses on two examples from Turkey: The Turkish Monopoly Liquor and Cognac Factory (Mecidiyeköy, Istanbul; Rob Mallet-Stevens, 1930), now rebuilt as Mecidiyeköy Towers (EAA, Istanbul, 2010-2017) and the Sait Bey and Semih Rüstem villas (Atatürk Street, Adana; Semih Rüstem Temel, 1932), now rebuilt as Semih Rüstem Commercial Center (MArS Architects, Istanbul, 2006-2012), both with a more than 10-fold increase in built area. The reconstruction in both cases was based on a declaration of being unfit in terms of function and technology beyond the obvious urban pressure of increasing the built-up area. Although both listed, the reconstructions did not preserve any characteristics or original architectural elements except for the general form and parts of the authentic names. Ultimately, the paper identifies this eradication of character and the creation of anti-places upon the case studies, perhaps the greatest threat against modern architectural heritage in urban areas. © 2021 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Adaptive Reuse of Industrial Heritage: Resilience or Irreparable Loss(Docomomo, 2016) Baturayoğlu Yöney, Nilüfer; Asiliskender, Burak; Özer, Aysegul; Yoney, NiluferThe restoration and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage buildings and complexes, which present structurally and functionally resilient shells, provide us with an interesting dilemma in theory and practice: made of hard wearing materials to house straining functions and to last as long as possible, they are also flexible enough to adapt to almost any new purpose as a container. However, the presence of original machinery and equipment as well as designs based on machine-buildings may reduce the possibilities of adaptive reuse to a museum, where the buildings exhibit themselves, retaining the social, economic, historic and public aspects of cultural heritage as documents. Although originally built on the outskirts of urban settlements, today most industrial heritage complexes occupy central locations in the metropolitan sprawl of major cities. If disused, they are considered obsolete brownfields by local authorities and citizens despite personal and collective memories that may be attached to them. Their conversion into new uses presents major technical difficulties that require expertise in design and implementation. This paper discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage and inherent problems, focusing on the case of the Sümerbank Kayseri Textile Factory (I. Nikolaev, Turkstroj, 1932-1935), which is being transformed into the campus of Abdullah GUI University. The restoration, renovation and adaptive reuse projects for different components of the complex follow similar principles of preservation and sustainability while they are modified to fit the architectural and technological characteristics of each building. Thus, although conversive and easily adaptable, the preservation of industrial architectural heritage becomes a dilemma between disruption and continuity, which the architects have to solve going beyond the possibilities of mere building stock on the one hand and that of the museum on the other. © 2017 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 5Understanding Intangible Aspects of Cultural Landscape; Living Cultures of Northeast Kayseri Valleys(Geleneksel Yayincilik Ltd Stl, 2021) Kevseroglu, Oztem; Ayatac, Hatice; Yoney, Nilufer Baturayoglu; Baturayoğlu Yöney, NilüferSustaining cultural landscapes requires the conservation of socio-cultural characteristics as well as their physical manifestations. It is essential to document and conserve tangible and intangible elements of heritage in an integrated manner as cultural heritage consists of "both tangible and intangible works through which the creativity of a people finds expressions". These include but may not be limited to social practices, daily lives, rituals, traditional craftsmanship, know-how, techniques and skills, historic places, buildings, public spaces and objects. Finding the means of understanding and safeguarding intangible cultural heritage and its transmission to next generations is vital for the preservation of tangible heritage and its characteristics. This paper reviews the development of the concepts of intangible cultural heritage and cultural landscapes, and the interrelationship between tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Their interaction opens up new approaches to cultural heritage and its conservation. The case study focuses on the cultural landscape features of Kayseri's Northeast Valleys, Koramaz, Gesi and Derevenk, in terms of their tangible and intangible heritage elements and values. The methodology, therefore, proposes the integrated documentation and analysis of these tangible and intangible cultural heritage characteristics. The area had a multi-cultural, ethnic and religious social structure, which shaped its elements through human-nature interaction. However, demographic changes within the last century transformed daily-life practices. The research is based on in-depth interviews with local residents, analysis of archival sources and documentation of the physical remains in the field. The results highlight the traditional crafts and production techniques as daily-life practices; some of these are still continued at the present while others are not practiced anymore. Those practiced in the recent past are carried to our day through the remembrances and accounts of the elders. The documentation of these practices forms the first step for their revival and sustainability for the future and provide valuable tools for the development of principles and strategies with this purpose. Understanding the physical, natural and socio+ layers of tangible and intangible cultural heritage is essential in this context. Their promotion and the inclusion of local stakeholders in the conservation process is the only solution for the integrated conservation of these cultural landscapes in terms of a living heritage approach.
