Abstract:
This thesis evaluates the effects of refunctioning decisions and interventions on the heritage buildings by examining the 21st century refunctioning practices of the Ottoman medreses in Istanbul. In this context, refunctioning practices carried out on 10 selected medreses between 2000-2016 were examined and comparatively studied by considering architectural, functional, legal, administrative, historical, technical, operational and social inputs. In conclusion, following the assesments made on the impacts of the interventions, proposals are developed for the process, criteria and principals that should be considered in refunctioning of the Ottıman medreses which can be applicable for other heritage buildings as well.
