    • br Proposed method of restoration The chronology table Table

    2018-11-14


    Proposed method of restoration The chronology table (Table 1) shows that numerous attempts to restore Rumeli Hisarı were undertaken. The restoration strategy for the castle should include an initial assessment of these attempts. Ayverdi and Gabriel conducted extensive building surveys on Rumeli Hisarı. Other surveys from archives and photographic evidence have also been gathered. Fig. 9 shows two photographs related to the history of castle. Conferences may also be organized to focus the academic studies on the castle and to understand the building in depth (Liu, 2013). The stockaded villages of the Qiang nationality, which comprise watchtowers and watch-houses, are an important part of the cultural heritage of the country similar to Rumeli Hisarı. In 2006, the watchtowers and stockaded villages of the Qiang nationality were placed in the preparatory declaration list of world cultural heritage in China and became a minority architectural heritage with potential value for world cultural heritage. The Wenchuan earthquake, which occurred in 12 May 2008, caused severe damage to the settlements of the Qiangs in the upper reaches of the Min River, including the “Tangping Qiang Village,” which serves a prominent function in the Qiang stockaded villages. We observed the idea “everything for heritage value” in the conservation of this dhpg important architectural heritage (Chen, 2012). The restoration looks to the future and not to the past. The restoration also has educational and commemorative functions for the youth and future generations (Carbonara, 2012). Obtaining the ideas of the residents may improve the restoration. For instance, the removal of these important buildings may not have occurred if the members of the district inside castle (especially the house owners) had been asked for their ideas (Sotoudeh and Abdullah, 2013). Restoration attempts were undertaken despite the insufficiency of information. Fig. 12 shows a part of the bastions before and after restoration. A realistic three-dimensional computer model and rendered pictures should be produced. Production drawings of the castle parts to be repaired may also be drawn. After obtaining the final approval from restoration experts, repair activities should be conducted. Interdisciplinarity, as part of the principle of unity of restoration methods, is viewed as the principal tool for the consistent and complete combination of the different skills necessary for the study and conservation of monuments because the true nature of restoration is a complete fusion of historical and technical–scientific expertise (Carbonara, 2012). Restoration activities should also remain loyal to the original building technology of the castle from the 15th century. Historical production methods for wood, lead, and stone should be used. Fig. 13 shows the production method of lime, which is used to bond the rubble-stones of the walls. Similarly, Fig. 14 shows the walling tools (Tayla, 2007). Finally, a modern material analysis of the building may be conducted, and the restoration may be supported by archeological excavation data (Zhang and Chen, 2013; Hou et al., 2012). The architectural heritage conservation activity of China, which is an integral part of the world conservation movement, may be used in benchmark studies (Zhu, 2012).
    Results and discussion First, architectural methods should be used. Technical drawings of the castle and computer-aided analysis should also be conducted. The parts must be placed based on the original structure. The studies of Gabriel, Tamer, and Ayverdi may be useful in this endeavor (Ayverdi, 1974, 1953; Ilgaz, 1941; Tamer, 2001). In his book “Tarih\'te Usul,” Togan suggested the questioning of sources and the removal of irrelevant ones using a certain methodology. However, Dobson and Ziemann, (2009) revealed that scholars transform resources based on their worldview. These researchers do not mention physical objects. However, repairing using a methodological condition is valid for this castle, which is a physical material. The castle may be an example of transformation caused by worldview. The theater building, which is irrelevant to the historical context of the castle, mars the historical value of the building. In an institutional level, the act contradicts the cultural heritage protection philosophy of the United Nations International Children\'s Fund (Togan, 1981; Dobson and Ziemann, 2009).
