@article{2014,title={A DESIGN ADVENTURE IN THE ARCHAOLOGICAL SITE; KARACAHISAR CASTLE GATE TRANSITION STRUCTURE},abstractNode={Karacahisar Castle; an important ruin site that includes the mystery of middle age is located on a logistic plateau at 1010 metre height in the southwest of Eskisehir that dominates an area of 200 x 300 metre surrounded by a wall. It is known to be one of the important castles in the defence line of the area in the Byzantine period. However, building date and the name of the caste are still uncertain. The information in Ottoman Chronicles that after conquering Karacahisar Castle in 1288, Osman Gazi delivered khutbah and coined reveals that Karacahisar was an important settlement during the foundation period. Until a comprehensive restoration was conducted in the Karacahisar Castle, a safe passage corridor was built during the excavation work, in order to ensure the security of the personnel and the visitors. Because Karacahisar Castle is considered to be the first foundation place of Ottoman Empire, an extraordinary design was projected for the “safe passage structure” to strengthen the ritual of this event… It is obvious that archaeological sites need to be preserved via architectural designs. However, in Turkey, “temporary designed structures” have only recently started be used in archaeological sites. The purpose of this design is making a little known site discovered by the architects in Turkey, setting a model for all archaeological sites, and meeting of the cultural heritage that has been on and under the earth for thousand of years with an intersection that will add more value to it… },author={Hicran Hanım HALAÇ},year={2014},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
