Within the scope of this course, various practical applications will be conducted following theoretical lectures on survey and restoration. In the theoretical framework, after introducing the concepts and principles of architectural conservation, topics such as the definition of survey, measured drawings, the purpose of using measured drawings in architecture, tools and equipment used for conducting surveys, techniques applied insurveys of site plans, building plans, sections, and elevations, and conducting measurement practices will be covered. Following the fieldwork conducted on a historic building, the goal is to obtain the meaasured drawings and prepare architectural projects consisting of the necessary measured drawing, analyses, restitution, and restoration stages. The measurement phase in the field and the preparation of the project set will require coordinated group work.

1. Defines the changes and developments of different conservation theories that have emerged throughout history (Knowledge).
2. Examines and explains international charters related to conservation (Knowledge).
3. Introduces and explains architectural conservation and restoration methods and techniques at the single-building scale (Knowledge).
4. Explains and defines the spatial and structural characteristics of traditional Ottoman houses, the different traditional house types in various regions, and the influence of traditional housing on the works of contemporary architects with examples (Knowledge).
5. Introduces the technical measurement methods, tools, and equipment used for surveys (Knowledge).
6. Students, working in groups, conduct fieldwork to measure a historic building according to its spatial characteristics (Knowledge).
7. Student groups convert the spaces/buildings they have measured into a set of accurate and scaled architectural drawings (Skill and Competency).
8. Student groups analyze the structure, materials, and alterations of the building based on the survey drawings they have prepared (Skill and Competency).
9. Groups determine the restitution periods of the selected historic building by evaluating the literature and traces found on the building and draw these periods using the survey set (Competency).
10. Groups develop restoration proposals for the historic building by considering its restitution periods and make adaptive reuse decisions within the framework of previously presented contemporary restoration theories, preparing these as a new set of drawings (Skill and Competency).
