Abstract:

Historical structures are priceless records of crucial information on former political, cultural, scientific, and social spheres with architectural construction technology. Ince Minareli Madrasah, built-in Konya during the Anatolian Seljuk period, is a significant piece of our cultural legacy and reveals the high level of culture and education at the time of its construction. Madrasah has experienced a dampness problem rising from the earth for a very long period, even though the structure has already undergone numerous restorations due to issues including dampness. This study aims to present solutions in line with the data obtained from the literature and similar examples within the scope of moisture problems and solutions encountered in historical buildings. While conducting the study, on-site research, literature and archive scanning, and verbal information gathering from the museum employee were all done. The first step was to investigate the deterrents caused by the dampness problem alongside the potential contributing causes. Following a description of the madrasah’s history, features, repairs, and structural deterioration, examples of other structures with comparable dampness issues were mentioned to illustrate the interventions. Based on the research and the investigated structures, solutions have been suggested in the conclusion section.
