This paper reveals the forms of local traditions in the lay-out and preservation of these buildings in a qualitative-descriptive manner. The Balinese physical-social value system is revealed through sense-purpose-essence-awareness. The lay-out of Puri Ahimsa signifies Cosmic Balance through the harmonious relations between humans, God, and nature. Architecturally, Mandala Agung is a synthesis of the rice cone form and the openness of Balinese traditional pavilions (wantilan), applying the Cosmic Balance through space in forming harmonious relationships. Singling out the roof as the divine realm, the inner space is regarded as a human realm (Tri Loka concept). The semi-circular space with the doors in opposite directions signifies the balance of opposing forces. Natural balance and the Tri Hita Karana philosophy are maintained in the Puri Ahimsa lay-out. The shape and the openness of the wantilan are adapted to the Mandala Agung architecture, while the Nawa Sanga concept is adapted to the eight main pillars and the sky-light roof. Tri Hita Karana is maintained in the inner space, and the philosophy of Desa Kala Patra is concretised through its uniqueness for today’s activities.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2021-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2021.1910402","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46206437","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The history of its construction and the reasons that led to its cataloging on the Unesco list, as a priceless cultural heritage, are an important example of the transitory evolution of the concept of ‘cultural heritage’, aimed at incorporating works which, in the past, struggled to be considered assets to be protected.

Many monuments, forming the urban structure of the old city, were destroyed either directly by actions of war or indirectly by the effects of ground shaking induced by explosions. In 2011, a documentation campaign was implemented by the students of Architecture Faculty, Aleppo University, and the caravansaries of the old city were documented. A strong explosion on March 4th, 2015 in the old city triggered many accelerometers in the region and felt as an earthquake. Recently, with the beginning of the restoration works, an evaluation is necessary for better understanding of the causes of damage, and best intervention approaches in these monuments. In the study, two historical caravansaries were presented and interrelated with the corresponding ground motion. Then, the seismicity of Aleppo is discussed; equivalent explosion-induced seismic effects were estimated and compared with the earthquakes. It is aimed to examine the possibility of applying the analogy with seismic forces on historic buildings to understand the damage caused by war explosions, on the purpose of future intervention for safeguarding the monuments.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2020.1804734","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49318595","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fourteen masonry stone mosques with timber truss roofs built in the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey are selected for the study. Experimental natural frequencies, mode shapes and damping ratios of the selected mosques under ambient vibrations are determined using the Operational Modal Analyses. Ambient vibration-based simplified natural frequency formulas based on the geometrical dimensions for the masonry stone mosques with timber truss roofs are obtained by using the statistical regression analysis.

Previous thin-section analyses were supplemented by recent analyses of samples collected from three medieval wall paintings in Danish churches. Also included in the analyses were plaster samples produced from hot-mixed mortar and samples produced from lime putty mortar. The analyses of the medieval plasters showed an average binder content in the range of two parts lime to one part aggregate. Moreover, lime inclusions, a characteristic of hot-mix, were found in all samples. SEM analyses showed a similar microstructure in the medieval plasters and the samples produced by hot-mixed mortar, while significant differences were found between the medieval plaster and lime putty samples.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2020.1785758","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49595522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is possible to see examples of culturally significant industrial buildings’ adaptive reuse. Altering adaptations as film spaces has become a fascinating debate recently. The aim of this study is to investigate efficiency of adapting industrial heritage buildings as film spaces on the long-term conservation and sustainable future of these buildings. Three industrial buildings that have been adaptively reused as film spaces in İstanbul, Turkey (soap-factory, warehouse for carbonated water and listed building at Beykoz Leather and Shoe Factory) are cases of this study. This study concludes that cultural significance is retained due to minimal changes observed on the external characteristics. Their reuse as film spaces has enriched the physical, locational/environmental and social/cultural performance of industrial heritage buildings. Two different approaches as temporary and permanent have been investigated. This study concludes that adapting industrial heritage buildings as film spaces is an appropriate decision, especially when it is adopted permanently with holistic/comprehensive approach from the beginning of adaptation process as creative hub of production. Results suggest that this approach has brought diverse additional impacts, both to conservation of these significant buildings and to their locations’ social, physical and economic well-being.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2020.1782105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46070751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first recorded concrete bridge in Britain was built in 1867, but because it used lime concrete it did not survive and was replaced by a Portland-cement concrete bridge in 1873. It was not until 1880 that the first mass-concrete railway bridge in Scotland was constructed. By the end of the nineteenth century mass concrete for bridges was being replaced by reinforced concrete. This paper discusses the issues surrounding the early concrete bridges in Scotland that were constructed up to 1950. This was the period when concrete developed from an innovative but poorly understood material to what might be recognised as modern concrete with research-based design codes. Within Scotland approximately forty-eight percent of all concrete bridges built up to 1950 are listed buildings, with many more being of genuine historic interest and part of our heritage. These early bridges are now of an age where concrete deterioration is becoming more of a concern and unless appropriate, conservation-based action is taken, their survivability as part of the built heritage may be compromised.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2020.1780052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47297785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analytical examinations were performed using thin section, sieve analysis, XRD, XRF, FTIR, SEM-EDX and thermal analysis of the plasters. Studies indicate that elevated temperature fired coarse brick aggregate mainly improved the mechanical properties and permeability of the plaster. The coarse brick grains played the role of filler, as analytical examination evidenced the existence of partial hydraulicity in the plasters. Sieve analysis demonstrates the use of mainly medium to coarse size aggregate grains leading to better carbonation of lime. XRD and FTIR data indicate brick used was fired at a high temperature that destroyed the crystalline structure of the clays and loss of pozzolanic activity due to the reduced surface area and formation of high-temperature mineral phases. The Calcium silicate formed at the brick-lime junction reduced the porosity and improved the strength of the plaster beside making the plaster partial hydraulic.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2020-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2020.1768480","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48082027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
