The Netherlands Institute in Turkey and Koç University, Department of Archaeology and the History of Art, and the Graduate Program in Anatolian Civilizations and Cultural Heritage Management announce a symposium:
 

Conservation, Restoration, and Re-usage of Ottoman Architecture
Practices and Problems in Turkey, the Eastern Mediterranean, and the Balkans

 

October 9, 2007 (10:00-17:30)

Organized by Machiel Kiel (Netherlands Institute in Turkey), Lucienne Thys-Şenocak (Koç University), and Fokke Gerritsen (Netherlands Institute in Turkey).

The Ottoman architectural remains of Turkey and southeastern Europe are increasingly recognized as important sites and monuments of cultural heritage. While buildings and ruins are still threatened by urban development and neglect, restoration projects are giving many of these a new lease on life. Restoration brings with it questions, choices and dilemmas, among these: How can we make the best use of archival materials to inform the decisions that are made during the research and implementation of restoration work? How do we find meaningful and appropriate uses for restored Ottoman structures which can make them sustainable sites in the future? Which new technologies for surveying, documentation and conservation are useful, and which are not? What role does archaeological excavation play in the investigation, documentation and restoration of Ottoman structures? These and other questions will be addressed by the international group of speakers at the symposium.

Place: The Netherlands Institute in Turkey (İstiklal Caddesi, Nur-i Ziya Sokak 5, Beyoğlu, İstanbul)
