Darende/Balaban Geleneksel Yerleşim Dokusunda Biyofilik Tasarım İzlerinin İrdelenmesi

Abstract

Biophilic design is a new, versatile and rich approach that has been taken up by many disciplines. One of these disciplines is architecture and it deals with the shaping of spatial demands of the closeness created by the innate instinctive/emotional bond that people feel towards nature and the living things in nature. Biophilic design, which is also a reference to studies on ecology and sustainability, has a design approach that allows the continuation of the beneficial effects of nature in the field of architecture by making use of the human-nature interaction in the built environments. The concept of biophilic design, which has become more important in the process of building design and implementation, not only covers modern architectural structures of cities; it also has the capacity to shape traditional structures and the settlement patterns they create. The creation of traditional textures with reference to climate, topography and environmental values actually provides some advantages in creating and maintaining a biophilic design approach in these regions. However, it is observed that in some traditional settlements, the traces of this approach can be conserved, while in others it is largely ignored and disappeared. In this context, the aim of the study is to emphasize the value and importance of detecting, examining and conserving the traces of biophilic design in traditional settlements in order to draw attention to the problems experienced in maintaining the nature-human interaction and protecting the natural elements for human health and well-being. Within the scope of the study, the traditional settlement of Balaban, which is connected to the Darende district of Malatya province, which has survived to the present day with its many architectural qualities and where the use of mudbrick materials stands out, has been examined. In this sense, the literature on biophilic design and Balaban was examined as a method. Then, in the light

Conservation Problems and Recommendations of Historic Fountain Structures in Harput: Square Funtain and Three Bowl Fountain

“…Tarihi çeşme yapıları, hem dünyada hem de Türkiye'nin ve Anadolu'nun pek çok yerinde günümüze ulaşan korunmaya değer yapılardır. Öncelikle doğayla uyumlu yapılar olmaları ve su öğesinin kullanımına aracılık etmeleri, günümüzdeki pek çok tasarım anlayışıyla büyük oranda örtüşen özelliklerdir (Akyıldız ve Olğun, 2021).Ayrıca bu konuda ortaya koyulan yasa ve tüzükler incelendiğinde, 3964 tarihli Venedik Tüzüğü'nün tanımlar kısmında yer alan 1. maddesinde "Tarihi anıt kavramı sadece bir mimari eseri içine almaz, bunun yanında belli bir uygarlığın,önemli bir gelişmenin,tarihi bir olayın tanıklığını yapan kentsel ya da kırsal bir yerleşmeyi de kapsar.Bu kavram yalnız büyük sanat eserlerini değil ,ayrıca zamanla kültürel anlam kazanmış daha basit eserleri de kapsar." ifadelerinin bulunduğu görülmektedir (ICOMOS, 2023).…”
