Preservation and conservation endeavors aimed at historical structures hold significant importance in transmitting cultural and historical legacies to future generations, functioning as custodians of societal memory. This research meticulously assesses the current condition of a traditional mansion situated in the Çatalca district of Istanbul, outlining restoration strategies to restore its original character. Despite the burgeoning residential development in Çatalca, the rapid onset of structural decay poses a tangible threat to the preservation of its historical heritage, necessitating a focused examination of relevant structures in the area. Thorough documentation, meticulous surveys, archival research, and on-site inspections have been conducted, leading to the formulation of comprehensive restoration proposals and intervention strategies. Recognizing the distinctive attributes of the mansion, it becomes apparent that its restoration should prioritize maintaining its original function rather than exploring alternative uses. Furthermore, the examination uncovers numerous alterations and misguided interventions over time, emphasizing the urgent need for concerted preservation endeavors. In essence, this study holds paramount importance in revealing the intrinsic qualities of a historical structure, safeguarding its significance in the collective urban consciousness, and perpetuating the sustainable continuation of cultural nuances.

Conservation is very important in order to transfer the historical, cultural and social characteristics of the society to future generations. According to studies, protection is also necessary in terms of sustainability. Although there are cultural assets with important features in Catalca District, Turkey, the district has three different sites and rich traditional housing stock. Houses that have been deteriorating due to natural and human-caused reasons until today have also undergone changes due to changing population movements, especially as a result of population exchange. Göksel Bey Dwelling, located on the island no 237 parcel no 7, has also partially preserved its original form but has begun to lose its quality due to various interventions. It is important to conserve and maintain the structure and it is aimed to return the housing to its original state. For this reason, the housing was documented to identify the deterioration and problems that occurred. The documentation of the structure was carried out using the optical method "total station" and the classical building survey method. In accordance with the on-site survey and comparative examples, a restitution proposal was made for its original state. In accordance with the scientific grounds, intervention decisions were made to conserve, and a restoration project was prepared for the housing to be used its original residential function. The study creates resources for the conservation and survival of other houses located in the district. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of conservation is to preserve the physical structure of the buildings along with their symbolic and artistic values and to ensure their sustainability. As a study reflecting this view, the structural and decorative materials of the Ahirardi Mosque, located in the historical city center of Kütahya, were examined from an archeometric point of view. Physical, chemical and petrographic analyzes were applied to stone, brick, plaster, mortar and tile samples from different parts of the mosque, which was built in 1876 and underwent various interventions over time. Within the scope of archaeometric studies, the physical properties of stone and brick samples were determined by basic physical tests, and the amount of salt dissolved in water and salt (anion) types of the same samples were determined by conductometric analysis. Aggre- gate/binder in mortars and plasters and particle size distribution (granulometric) analyses in aggregate were applied. The petrographic properties of all structural samples were determined by optical microscopy analysis on thin sections. The stones used in the construction of the mosque are mostly ignimbrite rock type. As with the stones, petrographic analyzes of the brick samples also showed that they have a volcanic origin. Mortar samples, whose aggregate/binder compositions were examined, were classified under 2 groups and plaster samples were classified under 3 groups. It has been determined that the binder content of mortars and plasters, all of which are repair examples, consists of cement/ash, clay/ash mixture binders. Repair mortar and plaster samples, whose aggregate/binder contents are quite similar, reflect recent repairs and the original mortar and plaster of the mosque has been destroyed in these processes.
