Evaluation of Sustainability Principles in Adaptable Re-Functioning: Traditional Residences in Demirel Complex

Abstract

Sustainable living is basically being able to construct the balance of protecting and using natural resources. In this way, the heritage value transferred to future generations is formed by the interaction of people and the environment. This is also very important for “architecture”, which expresses sustainability and is an important tool. In addition to the continuity of sustainable architecture and cultural heritage, it is possible to create economic resources and detect sociological data. Local architecture, which bridges the past and the present and best reveals the relationship of people with each other and their environment, has a place in many parts of the world with its rich diversity. Local architecture has an active place in contemporary society with its cultural, socio-economic and concrete identity values. These structures are protected by various strategies and methods and transferred to future generations. One of these methods is adaptive re-use. Within the scope of adaptive re-use, the study examined the principles of sustainability through eight second-degree registered İslamköy residences in the Demirel Complex of İslamköy village in Atabey district of Isparta province in Turkey. Thus, by evaluating three basic principles, environmental, economic and social, in terms of the continuity of local architecture with the sub-parameters determined, it was aimed to reveal the benefits and damages caused by the complex to the settlement in terms of sustainability. In this way, the change and transformation created by re-functioning with the renewal of building materials and typology was examined.

An evaluation on the adaptive reuse of monuments with a focus on sustainability

“…Evaluation criteria I Being sensitive to ecology (Hos ¸kara, 2007;Salman, 2018;Stubbs, 2004;Yarrow, 2015) Ensuring cultural integrity (Aydın and Okuyucu, 2009;Çiftçibas ¸ı Durna, 2019;Watson and Bentley, 2007) Supporting the local workforce and economy (Chan and Lee, 2008;Philokyprou and Michael, 2020) II Using renewable resources (Hos ¸kara, 2007;Salman, 2018;Stubbs, 2004;Yarrow, 2015) Protection of cultural diversity (Dikmen and Toruk, 2017;Latham, 2000;Pedersen, 2002) The revival of settlements (Correia et al, 2014;Philokyprou and Michael, 2020) III Using local resources and materials (Philokyprou and Michael, 2020;Tekeli and Ata€ ov, 2017) Strengthening environmental and social relation (Aydın and Okuyucu, 2009;Chan and Lee, 2008;Kohler, 1999;Stubbs, 2004) Returning from tourism (Durukan et al, 2021;Feilden, 2003;Kiper, 2004) IV Protection of the cultural and historical environment (Çoban, 2019;Salman, 2018;Yaldız, 2013) Ensuring public participation in conservation activities (Aydın and Okuyucu, 2009;Kefayati and Moztarzadeh, 2015) Energy savings (El Sorady and Rizk, 2020;Pedersen, 2002) V Preservation of architectural value and morphological features…”

“…As stated in the Declaration of Amsterdam of 1975, to economize resources and combat waste, historic buildings can be given new functions which correspond to the needs of contemporary life, which is directly related to economic sustainability. The adaptive reuse of monumental structures that act as a bridge between the present and the past also contributes economically by attracting domestic and foreign tourists (Durukan et al. , 2021; Feilden, 2003; Kiper, 2004).…”

Sostenibilidad social y arquitectura: una revisión sistemática de la literatura

“…Autores como Mehdinezhad y Nabi (2016), Andersen y Røe (2017), Hobbs (2017) abordan la problemática sufrida por gran parte de la ciudadanía local de lugares como el Golfo Pérsico (Emiratos Árabes), Irán (Gran Bazar de Tabriz) u Oslo (Noruega), consecuencia de la pérdida de edificios históricos y tradicionales, en pos de una "nueva arquitectura" o construcciones modernas, cuestionándose el rol de los arquitectos intervinientes. En algunos casos, para mitigar esta "crisis de identidad", autores como Abdullah et al (2017) y Durukan et al (2021), con estudios de caso realizados en Turquía y Malasia, respectivamente, hacen hincapié en la utilización del método arquitectónico conocido como "reutilización adaptativa", que posibilita la protección y transformación de edificios históricos que conforman el patrimonio cultural de una comunidad, en espacios accesibles, utilizables y, al mismo tiempo, sostenibles. También en Turquía, Hatipoglu e Ismail (2019) sugieren pautas a seguir por los diseñadores de viviendas, con el objetivo de diseñar casas flexibles, adecuadas para la mentalidad y la cultura de ese lugar.…”

“…La arquitectura sostenible 4 existe desde los inicios de la arquitectura y se ha conceptualizado y utilizado desde el siglo XX (Durukan et al, 2021), considerándose un requisito primordial en el diseño (Ceylan y Soygeniş, 2019). De acuerdo a Kohler (1999), una construcción sostenible es aquella que posee tres tipos de componentes o dimensiones: (1) ecológicos o ambientales, relacionados con la conservación de recursos y del ecosistema; (2) económicos, o vinculados a la productividad de los recursos en el largo plazo y costos de funcionamiento bajos; y (3) socioculturales, abarcando, por un lado, la protección de la salud y el confort y, por el otro, la preservación de valores sociales y culturales.…”

An Integrated SWOT-PESTLE-AHP Model Assessing Sustainability in Adaptive Reuse Projects

“…A significant number of adaptive reuse examples exist as several scholars have pointed out, outlining urban sustainability, with reference to the protection of the environment, economic impacts, participation in the life of the community, as well as energy conservation [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. The contribution of adaptive reuse to urban sustainable development and the importance of emblematic infrastructure, seem more direct and clear than ever [49,50]. Thereby, the more the adaptive reuse tends to increase, the more likely it is that sustainable development in environmental, economic, social, and cultural dimensions can be positively affected [51][52][53].…”
