Özet:

In this study, Vezir Hanı, located within the Suriçi (Sultaniye) region, which is a 1st Degree Historical Protected Area in İstanbul, will be studied within the framework of "Historic Urban Paysage Approach", which is declared as a recommendation decree by UNESCO World Heritage Committee in 2011. This building, being one of the most important examples of the urban commercial venues within the commercial pattern of Vezir Hanı in İstanbul, is located in Çemberlitaş Square on Divan Yolu and one of the powerful public accommodation venues of the Ottoman Period; its architectural structure, mass and function creates a strong symbolic impact on the space. However the hotel project, approved by İstanbul Culture Heritage Protection Regional Council has been constructed adjacent to the walls of Vezir Hanı and has a large extension towards the courtyard of the Inn. The hotel is located in“1st Degree Protected Area and “Hanlar and its Area” in the featured urban pattern”, next to a historical and cultural building and the construction is currently stopped. When considered within a new array of values, brought by the concept of “Historical Urban Paysage” it has been seen that Vezir Hanı and its surroundings of which the development and structure should be kept under control could not be protected.
