2016 World Conference on Timber Engineering, WCTE 2016, Vienna, Avusturya, 22 - 25 Ağustos 2016, (Tam Metin Bildiri)
A large portion of historical studies on architecture encompasses and critically integrates the assessment of construction techniques and materials. Timber, the most used vernacular construction material in Anatolia, has a particular story in the Ottoman Terrain where the transformative processes of industrial revolution and colonization didn't take place. The advances in timber construction can clearly be seen in the capital of the Empire, in Istanbul. A good example, The Prinkipo Palace is a 115-year-old timber structure that is unique in size, with an approximately 11.000 square meter floor area. It is 24 meters high and measures 100 meter in length and up to 32 meter in width. The ceiling heights are varying between 2,60-7,30 meters. The span widths are between 3,50-9,00 meters. The building possesses useful information about the history and the progress of timber construction methods while providing critical insight into contemporary timber architecture on a global and local scale and may lead to technical developments in application of wood as a key building material in Turkey.
