number. The restoration work for Kurşunlu Han and its Adjacent Stores in an
area of 3349,72 m² and belonging to the General Directorate for Foundations
was planned and applied by UMART Architecture Engineering Construction
Industry Contract Co. Ltd.
From project design to application, all shareholders consisted of Central
and Local Government members, which facilitated the feasibility work of
the adaptive reuse of the Han. To this end, it was decided that the structure,
which previously used as a student dormitory, regain its original function in
the Ottoman Era as a commercial center. Registered as cultural heritage by
the Cultural and Natural Heritage Preservation Board, the sustainability of
Kurşunlu Han became the starting point for the Local and Central Government.
To this end, the technical and economic issues of the adaptive reuse have
been determined. It was also decided to take all the necessary measures to
maintain the structural integrity of the building in case of any interventions
during the restoration. During the restoration process, first of all, the structural
system was tested, and the additions made during its use as a dormitory (such
as windows, doors, etc.) were removed and the Han was turned into its original
form (Figure 4).
