Özet:

Zincirli Mosque’s (Ankara, Turkey) historical information, architectural style, general architectural order and conservation problems on the structure were determined in this study. It is aimed to bring proposals for the solution of the problems by detecting types of deterioration and their possible reasons. Literature review about Zincirli Mosque’s brief history was done; knowledge and documents of the previous restoration implementations were gathered from the owner institution, General Directorate of Foundations; mosque’s schematic drawings were made by the author. Characteristics and types of deteriorations of the building materials were examined by visual analysis and were evaluated. With the increase in the number of houses in Ankara in the 17th century, an increase was also observed in the number of mosques. Examples of mosques in this century are the structures having characteristics such as rectangular plan, brick or mudbrick walls with wooden beams on rubble stone, hipped roof, wooden minbar, stucco mihrab, known as the Ankara Style. Zincirli Mosque is a 17th century mosque in Ulus District, Altındağ, Ankara, which was built in Ankara Style. Within the conservation of the mosque, deteriorations because of environmental factors like temperature, relative humidity, climatic conditions; and deteriorations due to human factors were defined; required types of interventions and measures were proposed to prevent new deteriorations. Within the scope of conservation studies, it is necessary to determine the correct method as a result of laboratory analyzes and reports and to test the proposed methods with experimental applications.
