Istanbul, Turkey

Review of restitution and renovation project documentation, damage assessment, seismic performance evaluation, and development of repair strategies for a heritage structure. The work involved critical examination of proposed interventions, evaluation of their structural adequacy and compatibility with historic fabric, and recommendations for modifications where original proposals proved insufficient or inappropriate. 

This project demonstrates the role of independent review in heritage conservation work, where proposed interventions must be evaluated for both structural effectiveness and preservation appropriateness.
