Abstract

Sustainability today is an indispensable element that goes into the design and building of any new construction in historic cities. One of the methods to ensure sustainability in historical cities is related with their functions as well as their designs to maintain their identity without damage or destruction – in other words, protecting the relationship between old and new. All related policies and legal regulations developed for this purpose affect the design approaches of new buildings. Also affecting the local policies are the recommendations developed by ICOMOS and UNESCO regarding the characteristics of new buildings to be designed in historical cities. The main purpose of this study is to research how conservation policies affect the design approaches of the new buildings designed in these locations, identify the relationship between the decisions developed by ICOMOS/UNESCO and the local policies, and provide suggestions for developing new guidelines accordingly. In order to test the hypotheses developed in line with the purpose, a field study was carried out in Göynük/Bolu/Turkey. With findings, suggestions provided for developing new guidelines in Göynük/Bolu/Turkey in terms of new building design approaches.

Keywords
