XXIV International CIPA Symposium, 2 — 6 September 2013, Strasbourg, France
at the northeast of the village center, nearly 150 meters in
distance. It is surrounded by streets on all its four sides. While
the streets on the eastern and northern sides are wide (2.5-3.5
meters), those on the western and southern sides are narrow (1.5
and 2 meters), respectively. The village houses on the opposite
sides of these secondary streets are generally one storied,
excluding the one with two stories at the eastern direction.
The building (8.30 x 10.65 x 3.00) entered from a door at its
north side and an irregular opening at its west side is composed
of an iliklik-sicaklik (tepidarium-caldarium); two halvets (hot
rooms) and a water tank at present (Figure 2).

Figure 2 Plan of studied building (Hamamcioglu — Turan,
Reyhan, 2005)
As revealed from the characteristic of the entrance door, the
ruins of the soyunmalik (apodyterium) juxtaposing the iliklik-
sicaklik should be underneath the street at the 4. The trace of the
fireplace underneath the water tank and the well at the 1 of the
building indicate that there might be ruins of a woodshed
juxtaposing the water tank, and a courtyard at the 2 and 3 of the
bath. The rectangular iliklik-sicaklik (2.50 x 5.60), running in
east direction, is domed at its center and barrel vaulted on its
two sides. The halvets, juxtaposing the iliklik-sicaklik at its
south and north, are domed as well. This plan organization can
be evaluated among one of the types in Eyice’s classification of
Turkish bath plans (1960) elongated rectangular sicaklik with
domed central unit and two Aalvets. The oculi at the domes and
vaults elements are the sources of illumination together with the
two entrance openings mentioned in the above. In turn, the
illumination level is low at the interior. Rubble stone, brick
timber and mortar is used in the construction of the walls and
brick and mortar is used in the construction of the domes,
vaults, pendentives and the drum of the central dome at the
iliklik-sicaklik. The surfaces of these elements are exposed
without plastering at their exterior at present, while they are
80
plastered at their interior. The monument is in a ruined state as a
result of abandonment for years (Figure 3). Fortunately, it has
been taken to the restoration program of Seferihisar
Municipality, after Seferihisar has declared as a slow city in
2009. (http//www.cittaslowturkiye.org/eng/).
Figure 3 Studied building as viewed from the northwest
Prior to this study, a number of graduate studies were carried on
Ulamis Bath in the Department of Architectural Restoration,
IYTE. A short description including a plan drawing was
provided in a conservation design studio (Reyhan and Cizer,
2002; Hamamcioglu-Turan and Reyhan, 2005). Its construction
technique (Reyhan, 2004), the characteristics of its lime mortars
(Cizer, 2004), and the characteristics of its domes (Reyhan,
2011) were evaluated in detail in graduate thesis. A
conservation project for the building was prepared within the
scope of a second conservation design studio (Kanmaz, et all.,
2012).
On the other hand, techniques of realistic 3d modeling of
historical monuments have been discussed in many studies
published by CIPA (http://cipa.icomos.org/index.php?id=28)
and ISPRS (http://www .isprs.org/publications/archives.aspx). In
a study making an overall evaluation (Remondino and El-
Hakim, 2006), the historical development of research activities
in image-based modeling from terrestrial images since 1980s is
summarized. The unproven characteristic of the full automated
methods are pointed out, and the validity of the highly manual
methods are underlined.
2. DOCUMENTATION
The documentation process was realized in three steps: site
survey; calibration and modeling.
2.1 Site Survey
The case study building was photographed in two phases:
exterior and interior photographing phases. Each is composed
of the design of partial photographs documenting building
surfaces and overall photographs documenting the building /
space whole from its corners. In both phases, each piece of
building surface was documented with six photographs: two
taken parallel to the surface with and without ladder; two taken
from the right side of the parallel position with and without
ladder; and two taken from the left side of the parallel position
with and without ladder (Figure 4).
