The preservation of civil vernacular architecture is just as important as historical monuments. In the Eyüp revitalization project, three historical wooden buildings are being reconstructed to reflect the region’s 19th-century architecture. The reconstruction is based on existing resources such as photographs, plans, maps, and surveys. The buildings will be constructed using traditional materials and techniques, and new contemporary designs have been made in respect of the historical context and pattern. The project aims to keep the past and future together by offering a future view from a real historic perspective to visitors.
