This period also includes the formation, development and the end of the First National Architecture movement. Reşadiye Numune School, which is one of the representatives of First National Architecture movement has been studied in this article. During the Ottoman Empire’s Westernization movements period, there were fundamental changes in the materials and techniques used in Ottoman architecture via the influence of architects and engineers trained in Europe. In addition, important discussions were carried out on architecture under the influence of the prevailing movement of Turkish Nationalism. The Reşadiye Numune School of Architect Kemalettin was an early example of hosting all contemporary qualities discussed above. Through the analysis of this building, the planning of school buildings, their construction techniques and materials, and how their architectural forms were interpreted during the First National Architecture period shall be examined. The preservation and reuse of historic and structural values of construction shall be emphasized in terms of addressing the possibilities in this direction.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2019.1638606","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48027255","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}

As a result, few of them can understand the identity and historical layering process of the city. From the perspective of Historic Urban Landscape (HUL), this paper sets out the experience and approaches of public perceptions of authenticity through literature review and comments data mining, and takes the Five Avenues Historic District in Tianjin as a case study in order to propose strategies for enhancing public perceptions of authenticity of urban heritage. By doing this, the public can have a better understanding of the meaning of urban heritage, which would contribute to its distinctive identity, as well as the management of change.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2019.1638605","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42808630","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}

We argue the Authorized Heritage Discourse (AHD) presents itself not only in experts or official discourse, but also within community; but the boundaries have no clear edge and been adjusted accordingly. The definition of architectural heritage has been continuously negotiated along the process of heritage designation and planning. It is evident, for example, in ongoing acceptance of tsunami-related things as heritage. Despite their initial rejection and disagreement with local community to include tsunami debris such as Kapal Apung as heritage, now government - especially Conservation Board for Tangible Heritage (BPCB) that in 2012 still reluctant to include tsunami items as heritage - is on its way to include them as heritage for their important histories. On the other hand, even though it is second symbol of Banda Aceh, community and experts have different perception of the heritage status of the Tsunami Museum built during reconstruction after the 2004 Tsunami, due to its age less than 50 years. Within this negotiated definition Rumoh Aceh, the Baiturrahman Mosque, Putroe Phang, Gunongan and Aceh Museum are among top five architectural heritage for community and experts.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-07-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2019.1635768","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47911519","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}

As one of the pioneering locations for modern fashion in Turkey, this factory is among the increasing number of modernist heritage buildings that has been lost due to demolition in the sprawling city of İstanbul. However, the building was demolished because of urban policies as well as company decisions. With its microenvironment and landscaping, this industrial concrete building has witnessed changes in Turkey’s social, economic, and political context from the Hat Law of 1925 to ready-to-wear production starting in the 1970s. The building can be considered one of the most important and the most beautiful examples of modern industrial architecture and international style in Turkey, embracing plastic arts and graphic arts in a period of industrialization as stated by Cengizkan and Kaçel. The building is not only a modernist concrete structure, but also displays the socio-political, economic, and artistic approaches of the period and Turkish postwar modernism. However, this ‘small-scale loss’ building with its conserved and restored unique art works becomes one of the few examples in İstanbul as an expanding city.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2019.1631590","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42481031","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}

As one of the few remaining unaltered stone buildings in the emirate, Halya is a rare record of stone construction techniques and a significant part of Abu Dhabi’s heritage. When first surveyed in 2009, the tower was in critical condition with large vertical cracks that threatened to cause total collapse of the structure. Emergency conservation measures including shoring and strapping were carried out and a conservation management plan was drafted to guide future interventions. Documentation, materials analysis and treatment trials were also carried out followed by conservation. The interventions included structural reinforcement, grouting, repointing, and application of a shelter coat. Geogrid fiber was chosen for reinforcement because of its high tensile strength and resistance to heat deformation and corrosion in the desert environment. After several years of monitoring following the interventions, the tower has remained stable. This paper describes the conservation and structural stabilization work in detail, focusing on materials analysis, mortar selection, and the conservation and structural solutions chosen to stabilize the tower.","PeriodicalId":44303,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Architectural Conservation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2019-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/13556207.2019.1619985","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41590794","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}

A number of elements of the building required specialist conservation work and investigations. The project required a great deal of critical path analysis and proactive communication. It comprised a comprehensive conservation programme to undertake priority works such as the condition of the stone parapets, weathervanes, timber staircase and brick window mullions. However with the considerable cost of scaffolding other less urgent works were brought forward. A far better archaeological understanding was long overdue and this was also undertaken. The results were of excellent quality, delivered on time and slightly below budget.
