Kozmopolit ve çok katmanlı bir dokuda inşa edilen yapılar, bağlamına saygılı ve uygun bir işlevle yeniden kullanıma sunulmalıdır. Yapıya yüklenen yeni değerler, yapının eski kimliğini korumalı, kentin katmanlarını ve kimliğini yaşatmalıdır. Osmanlı Dönemi’nde etkin rol oynayan yabancı postanelerden biri olan Galata’daki eski İngiliz Postanesi, 1859 yılında inşa edilmiş, günümüze kadar farklı işlevlerde kullanılmıştır. Farklı dönemlerde restorasyon çalışmalarına uğrayan eski İngiliz Postanesi, postane işlevini kaybettikten sonra, okul, konut, marangoz atölyesi ve film prodüksiyon şirketi olarak kullanılmıştır. Eski İngiliz Postanesi 2021 yılının ekim ayında bakım ve basit onarımlar geçirerek kültürel üretim mekânı olarak “Postane’ ismiyle yeniden işlevlendirilmiştir. Yeniden işlevlendirilen bu mekân; kafe, dükkân, kütüphane, stüdyo ve terası ile kamunun kullanımına açılmıştır. Eski bir postane yapısının, farklı zaman dilimlerinde farklı işlevlerinin olması, yapının geçmiş kimliğini zenginleştirmiştir. Bu kimlik yapıya verilecek yeni işlevin belirlenmesinde de etkili bir rol oynamıştır. Paylaşan, üreten ve üretimi destekleyen kültürel merkez olma yaklaşımı ile yeniden işlevlendirilen eski bir postane yapısının farkındalığı, kullanılabilirliği arttırılmıştır. Postane’nin bakım onarım sürecinde yapının özgün mimari elemanlarına ve değerlerine saygılı ve onarıcı bir tutum sergilenmiştir. Yapıya verilen yeni işlev ile yapının kültürel ve ekonomik açıdan çevresine faydalı olması ve kendi geçmişini ve kentin hafızasını koruyup yaşatması amaçlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada tarihi bir yapıya verilecek yeni işlevin çevreye ve yapının mimarisine uygunluğu mimari, bağlamsal ve sağladığı yararlar açısından değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmada belirlenen değerlendirme kriterlerinin ve değerlendirme sürecinin diğer çalışmalar için faydalı olması hedeflenmiştir.
The structures built on a cosmopolitan and multi-layered fabric must be re-use with a respectful and appropriate function in its context. The new values charged on the building must preserve the old identity of the building, live the layers and the identity of the city. The old British Postanese in Galata, one of the foreign posters that played an active role in the Ottoman era, was built in 1859 and has been used in different functions until today. The former British Postanesi, which was undergoing restoration work in different periods, after losing its post function, was used as a school, housing, carpenter workshop and film production company. The former British Postanesi in October of 2021 was re-functioned as a cultural production site under the name "Postane" through maintenance and simple repairs. This re-functioned space has been opened for public use with a cafe, shop, library, studio and terrace. The fact that an old post structure has different functions in different time spheres has enriched the past identity of the structure. This identity has also played an effective role in determining the new function to be given to the structure. The awareness of an old post structure re-functioned by the approach to being a cultural center that shares, produces and supports production has increased its availability. In Postane’s maintenance repair process, a respectful and repairing attitude has been shown to the original architectural elements and values of the structure. The new function given to the building is designed to make the structure cultural and economicly beneficial to the environment and to preserve and live its own history and the city's memory. In this study, the suitability of the new function to the environment and the architecture of the structure that will be given to a historic structure has been assessed in terms of architectural, contextual and benefits it provides. The assessment criteria established in the study and the assessment process are aimed at being useful for other studies.
Buildings which are built in a cosmopolitan and multi-layered texture should be reused with a function that respects and accords to their contexts. The new values loaded on the building should preserve the old identity of the building, sustain the layers and identity of the city.
