Students of Istanbul Commerce University Faculty of Architecture and Design experienced hands-on learning in architectural conservation, restoration, and cultural heritage during the \u201cBeyond the Stone\u201d Sivas & Divri\u011fi Technical Study Trip<\/em>, organized by the Faculty of Architecture and Design and the Architecture and Design Society. The program provided an opportunity to examine Seljuk heritage structures and the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Divri\u011fi Great Mosque and Hospital, directly on site.<\/p>\n

The \u201cBeyond the Stone\u201d Sivas & Divri\u011fi Technical Study Trip<\/em> was held between May 15\u201317, 2026, organized by the Faculty of Architecture and Design and the Architecture and Design Society of Istanbul Commerce University. Throughout the program, students gained valuable field-based experience by examining historical and cultural heritage in situ. Under the guidance of Faculty Member Dr. Murat Erdal Dede, students conducted detailed analyses of Sivas\u2019s historic urban fabric, Seljuk-era architectural works, and the UNESCO-listed Divri\u011fi Great Mosque and Hospital. The program enabled participants to directly observe architectural conservation, restoration, and adaptive reuse processes in practice.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Urban Heritage and Seljuk Architecture Studied On Site<\/h3>\n

As part of the technical program, students examined key structures forming Sivas\u2019s historic urban identity, evaluating urban memory, architectural continuity, and the relationship between built heritage and its historical context. Seljuk-era buildings were analyzed academically with a focus on stone craftsmanship, spatial organization, and decorative systems. Field observations allowed students to reinforce theoretical knowledge through direct engagement with architectural heritage.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Conservation and Adaptive Reuse in Historic Structures<\/h3>\n

The program included visits to significant landmarks such as G\u00f6k Medrese, the War Horses Museum, and Behrampa\u015fa Hotel. These visits provided insight into heritage conservation strategies, restoration methodologies, and adaptive reuse practices. Students had the opportunity to critically observe how historical buildings are transformed and integrated into contemporary use scenarios.<\/p>\n

Architectural Depth at the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Divri\u011fi<\/h3>\n

One of the most significant stops of the trip was the Divri\u011fi Great Mosque and Hospital, which impressed students with its exceptional stone craftsmanship and architectural detailing. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the complex was studied in depth in terms of its aesthetic qualities, engineering solutions, and stone carving traditions, while also prompting discussions on conservation awareness and the sustainability of cultural heritage.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

Appreciation for Institutional Collaboration<\/h3>\n

The university extends its gratitude to Sivas Municipality, the General Directorate of Foundations under the Republic of T\u00fcrkiye Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and OYAK Ermaden for their contributions and support. The collaboration between public institutions, industry stakeholders, and the university continues to play a vital role in extending architectural education beyond the classroom into real-world contexts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
