EXTERIOR FACADE In wooden structures in Ottoman Architecture, We meet with wooden exterior facades as boarding using Weather Boarding (also known as Siding) technique in the beginning and mortise and tenon technique later on. In Weather Boarding technique, it is basis that top course consisting f boards of 15-20 cm in width is floored by overlapping it on the lower course in 2-3 cm. As for motrise and tenon system (interlocking), it is essential that boards with the same width are floored by interlocking them. In both methods, if building or structure to be worked is ancient monument, the most important matter is to follow the existing originality when maintaining in the current parts free of any damages in the best way and repairing the damaged parts. For the reason that, each element on these historic buildings which have succeeded in surviving during generations from the past till now and brought numerous cultural richness is of a cultural inheritance. Likewise, we follow that such tired ancient monuments are survived with reasonable interventions at the correct times rather than that they are destroyed and rebuilt provided that one makes authentic construction (this expression means to attempt to imitate the structure only photographically. It is impossible to place its historic identification). Our opinion is a clear statement of our respect that we have felt to the past culture. Then, what do we make? |
