Summary: Furniture has been a branch of architecture through the history of design and designs with various styles depending on the evolving needs, taste and trends. Beginning from the early stages, furniture has been an element for reflecting prestige with its show off and ornament (golden and silver damasken, fretwork, craving and lathe work) highlighted. New production techniques and materials began to be utilised with the emergence of industrial revolution in the 18th century. Modernism, emerging in the late 19th century, became a milestone for furniture design same as it did for all fields making functionality the primary purpose and furniture a tool for reflecting the lifestyle. The foundation of Bauhaus School has initiated a new era and with the effect of this school furniture began to be produced lighter by means of material and design in the mid 20th century. Dark and ‘heavy’ varnishing applications, golden and silver gilded paintings, exaggerated wood carving and gaudy patterns at clothing are replaced with modern ‘eye-brightening’ simplicity. Furniture produced between 1950 and 1980, known as “Mid-Century Modern Furniture”, has continued its impact and is the first examples of present day furniture. During those years, minimal designs, which can be referred as Retro-futuristic, have driven attention with their ‘bizarre’ and ‘dominant’ forms (end tables shaped as kidney, orbicular armchairs and etc.) at first and gained a significant place in furniture history thanks to their clean lines, bright colours and extraordinary materials.
These global changes have reflections also on Turkey, to some extent. It is obvious that there are not sufficient researches and information gathering when we look into the history of modern furniture in Turkey. There are very few studies especially related to the development of Mid-Century Modern Furniture in our country. Therefore, such furniture is not recognised, under-valued and is not able to be protected due to lack of information and documentation. Thus, with this project, it is aimed to create and develop awareness towards validation and protection of Mid-Century Modern Furniture products that made it to present. For this purpose, it is first tried to fill the gap in the literature by researching the furniture designed, produced and used between 1950 and 1980, and then to provide reuse of 30 characteristic Mid-Century Modern Chair from that period, after purchasing and restoring them. The literature review has shown that chair is the first to be influenced by changing movements throughout the history and influences the other elements of furniture. In other words, the pioneer designs of the doyen designers reflecting the changing era are always ‘chair’. Therefore “chair” has been chosen as the design object within this project. Chair provides a more powerful expression thanks to its sculptural form compared to other elements and it has the ‘object’ potential besides being economical and practical to be produced and being an obligatory for every house. Despite being small by means of dimensions, chair has the ability to express the period that it was produced. This explains why many significant designers who managed to direct the modern architectural movements, have iconic chair designs.
30 unique Mid-Century Modern Chairs which differ from each other depending on the production decennium, were researched, purchased and restored to be exhibited within this project between September the 29th, 2016 and January the 29th, 2018 as Yasar University Scientific Research Project (project no: BAP 044). Those chairs are chosen under the light of data gathered from literature review and market research held by conducting interviews with experts. Pre-restoration and post-restoration states of the chairs are pictured to express the dramatic transformation, thus the attention is attracted to the fact that they are still aesthetic and usable. During the restoration process, the problems of each chair are detected and interventions related to these problems are defined. By doing so, principles and methods regarding the restoration and reuse of the furniture from mentioned period.
It is planned to enrich the collection – belongs to Yasar University – by researching elements like armchair, sideboard and accessories of Mid-Century Modern Furniture. It is believed that such projects and studies will contribute to a detailed documentation about furniture of mentioned period, to expanding the history of modern furniture, to noticing such furniture and to reuse by restoration of them.

Summary: Documentation of the current state of cultural heritage structures and erroneous decisions taken during the process of functional transformation, cause the loss of originality and quality of the work. For this reason, in the documentation phase, which constitutes the first phase of protection work, The use of innovative methods and the way to determine the most accurate and optimal design should be aimed to try to answer by trying in the context of computational design.In this research, the use of 3D Laser Scanning method is been used to document the Çanakçı Masjid and the Alaeddin Sultan Zaviyesi in Tire-İzmir, belonging to the General Directorate of Foundations. The aim is to use the Laser scan technology in relation to 3D Modeling software to do the restoration works with computational design methods and to find the answer to the question how to obtain the best and optimal result by means of intelligent optimization techniques.
Rapidly evolving computational technology in every field has leapt into the field of cultural heritage documentation, leading to new methods and techniques in this area as well. These methods and techniques have also affected the documentation of the cultural heritage, paralleling traditional methods.
