Turkey’s success in the field of restoration in the 21st century may be adjudged as controversial due to particular cases labelled as unqualified restoration projects that are often on the agenda. This thesis aims to examine the circumstances that may lead to the emergence of controversial results distant from the Western approach, and the major causes of this consequences to provide an opportunity to re-evaluate and question accountable parts besides of architects. Within the scope of the thesis, examples of which stages in practice led to the abandonment of the European approach will be presented; the three-stage repair system used in the Ottoman Empire will be examined; the change of this system in the period of the Republican Era will be observed.

The project of Gazi Mihal Hammam – a great example of traditional Turkish baths located in Edirne/Turkey – prepared by Asır Project, will validate the existence of the companies that put forward successful restoration projects in 21st century Turkey. This thesis proves that there is a complex variety of units and factors, function as a whole within the scope of restoration, and architects are the individual contributors who do not have the required power to make tremendous changes. To reposition the world’s and society’s focus, this thesis presents to the readers all the units and possible causes to be questioned and to provide a fair justification for architects.
Il successo della Turchia nel campo del restauro durante il 21° secolo può essere giudicato controverso a causa di casi particolari etichettati come progetti di restauro non qualificati i quali sono spesso all'ordine del giorno. Questa tesi mira ad esaminare le circostanze che possono portare all'emergere di risultati controversi distanti dall'approccio occidentale ed anche le principali cause di queste conseguenze per fornire un'opportunità utile per rivalutare e mettere in discussione le parti responsabili oltre agli architetti. Nell'ambito della tesi verranno presentati esempi di fasi pratiche che hanno portato all'abbandono dell'approccio europeo; sarà esaminato il sistema di riparazione a tre stadi, utilizzato nell'impero ottomano; si osserverà ,inoltre, il cambiamento di questo sistema nel periodo dell'era repubblicana. Le circostanze ingiuste imposte agli architetti saranno rivelate dalle interviste agli architetti stessi poiché forniscono dichiarazioni dirette sul contesto e una solida critica ai principali problemi diversi dalla qualificazione degli architetti turchi. La metodologia strutturata nelle interviste guiderà il lettore ad avere una giusta considerazione del ruolo dell'architetto in discutibili interventi di restauro. Per quanto riguarda altri fattori, i temi come Project management e procurement system, responsabilità dello stato e degli enti privati, municipalità, istituzioni, appaltatori e proprietari di immobili, fallacia e inadattabilità delle pratiche e sui principi di ricostruzione, materiale autentico, tecniche di restauro, Mastership, responsabilità dei professionisti non riconosciute, verranno esaminate. Il progetto di Gazi Mihal Hammam – un grande esempio di bagno turco tradizionale situato a Edirne/Turchia – preparato da Asır Project, confermerà l'esistenza delle aziende che hanno presentato progetti di restauro di successo nella Turchia del 21° secolo. Questa tesi dimostra che esiste una complessa varietà di unità e fattori, che funzionano nel loro insieme nell'ambito del restauro e che gli architetti sono i singoli contributori che non hanno il potere necessario per apportare enormi cambiamenti. Per riposizionare il focus del mondo e della società, questa tesi presenta ai lettori tutte le unità e le possibili cause da mettere in discussione per fornire una corretta giustificazione per gli architetti.

Abstract
Turkey’s success in the field of restoration in the 21st century may be adjudged as controversial due to particular cases labelled as unqualified restoration projects that are often on the agenda. This thesis aims to examine the circumstances that may lead to the emergence of controversial results distant from the Western approach, and the major causes of this consequences to provide an opportunity to re-evaluate and question accountable parts besides of architects. Within the scope of the thesis, examples of which stages in practice led to the abandonment of the European approach will be presented; the three-stage repair system used in the Ottoman Empire will be examined; the change of this system in the period of the Republican Era will be observed. The unjust circumstances forced on architects will be revealed by interviews of architects since they provide direct statements on the context and solid critique of the major problems other than the qualification of Turkish architects. The methodology structured on the interviews will guide the reader to have a fair consideration of the architect’s part in questionable restoration interventions. Regarding other factors, the topics as Project Management & Procurement System; Responsibilities of State and Private Units; Municipalities; Institutions; Employer Contractors and Property Owners; Fallacy on Reconstruction Practices and Principles; Authentic Material; Restoration Techniques; Mastership; Unowned Responsibilities of Professionals will be examined.
