New interventions that contribute to the sustainability and historical architecture of old buildings allow these structures, which are no longer used for various reasons, to come to life again. For example, making additions to old structures instead of demolishing and rebuilding; integrating the building into the present allows us to create spaces that live with the historical texture of the past.
In our world, where rapid changes occur on a global scale every day, we can see the best examples of change in buildings. Comparing the first settlements with the cities that have become today's metropolises is the most significant indicator of change for us.
In architecture, on the other hand, we can make this change visible by adding new designs to the structures without disturbing the texture of the old structures. In this style, which has been frequently applied in recent years, the functionality of the old building can be increased, as well as a new function can be given to the building with an add-on. The most important criterion to be considered while applying this functionality and additions to the structure is preserving the original texture of the structure. Because the New-Old movement is the identity of the city and the region, the aesthetics of the building and its combination. It should always be a priority to preserve the historical texture we feel while walking on a street or street, walking among old buildings and buildings.
