Kütüphane-i Umumi-i Osmani, built 1884
(Beyazit Library)

Tabanlıoğlu Mimarlık, kütüphanenin restorasyonu için hassas ve özenli bir süreç izlemiş. Minimal müdahele ile binanın tarihi dokusu içerisine çeşitli modern imkanlar eklenmiş.

Fotoğraflar: Emre Dörter

Binanın açık avlusunun üzerine, şeffaf ve hafif bir membrandan üst örtü tasarlanmış. Işığı filtreleyerek içeri alan örtü hem kitaplar hem de ziyaretçiler için kontrollü bir iç atmosfer yaratıyor.

Nadir kitapların ve el yazmalarının sergilendiği iç mekandaki şeffaf kutular hem eserler için optimum atmosferi sağlarken hem de tarihi doku içerisine modern bir dokunuş getiriyor.

İnşaat faaliyetleri sürerken ortaya çıkarılan Bizans Kilisesi'nin kalıntıları ise, cam yüzeyin altından görülebiliyor.

Yenileme faaliyetleri sırasında binanın daha işleyebilmesi için ana giriş avluya alınmış. Katlar arasındaki dağılım ise şu şekilde: Modern Türk yayınları ikinci katta; periyodik yayınlar birinci katta; zemin kattaki şeffaf kutularda ise nadir ve değerli eserler bulunuyor.

@Solomon2, here are some things that might be interesting to you.

Aspendos

The Aspendos Roman Theatre was first written about by the Hittites in 800 BC. Able to seat up to 15,000 people, the amphitheatre was once part of the city of Aspendos, founded by Ancient Greeks from Argos. It is now used for concerts and festivals.

Simena

The remains of ancient Simena, now modern Kaleköy (just inland of Kekova Island), form one of the most impressive historical sites in Turkey. Simena sits below the remains of a Crusader castle, and many of the ruins, some dating as far back as the 4th century BC, have been partly submerged in the Mediterranean since a series of coastal earthquakes 1,800 years ago. It's also home to a Lycian burial ground, and huge sarcophagi are scattered along the nearby hillside.

Myra

According to Greek geographer Strabo, in the 1st and 2nd centuries BC Myra was one of the Lycian League's most important cities. Today in Myra, a collection of mostly Roman ruins remain, including the acropolis, an amphitheater, and Roman baths. Among the more noteworthy structures are two tombs that have been carved into cliff faces (the best known is Lion’s Tomb, where there are 11 life-sized figures in relief on the wall). However, Myra is perhaps most famous for its Church of St. Nicholas (as in St. Nick, as in Santa Claus)—he was actually the bishop of Myra in the 4th century AD.

Nemrut

Also known as Nemrud, stands at over 7,000 feet and is the site of the 1st-century BC mountain-top tomb of King Antiochus I Epiphanes. It's famous for its 30ft-high statues depicting various mythological figures, all of which have seen their heads topple from their bodies. This UNESCO-listed site is best visited at sunrise or sunset, the ideal time for admiring and photographing the still-life population.

Ephesus

Ephesus was the Roman capital of Asia Minor, and home to over a quarter of a million people—from slave traders to saints—at its peak between 1 AD and 2 AD. The site of the Temple of the Artemis, which was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, 150 years of excavations at Ephesus have revealed the most complete Greco-Roman classical city on Earth. No wonder it was just added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Göreme Open Air Museum
Cappadocia's Göreme Open Air Museum has about 30 ancient churches, and it's about as far from a traditional museum as it’s possible to get. Within the haunting landscape of stone pillars, the roughly cut rock churches—particularly those of the Dark Church and the Church of the Buckle—contain some of the best-preserved frescoes in Cappadocia. By the end of the 2nd century AD, the Göreme Valley had been transformed into a hub of Christian activity, with converts fleeing persecution drawn to the area's natural defenses, including entire settlements underground. Yet another underground city has recently been discovered at Cappadocia, and archaeologists believe it could be the largest subterranean city ever known. Dating back 5,000 years, with corridors running as deep as 371 feet, this newfound labyrinth is believed to be the size of 65 soccer pitches.
