Analytical Documentation of Stone Material Deteriorations on Facades with Terrestrial Laser Scanning and Photogrammetric Methods: Case Study of Şanlıurfa Kışla Mosque

Abstract

Şanlıurfa Kışla Mosque, in its geographical context, is of great importance with its historical importance and architectural features as it reflects the tangible and intangible cultural heritage. However, it is seen that the structure is worn out due to various factors and is exposed to various material problems. In terms of the continuity of the cultural heritage, it is necessary to determine the material problems before the destruction of the building, to document it and to take precautions for protection. The aim of the study in this context is to detect and analytically document the material deterioration on the facades of Şanlıurfa Kışla Mosque. As a method in the study; observational detection and terrestrial laser scanning technique were used. The results of the study support the fact that the method used provides great savings in terms of time and effort in the production of architectural drawings and damage maps, which is the result obtained in many studies in the literature. In addition, as a result of the study, it was determined that the most common type of material deterioration in the building was surface pollution. In the geographical context determined by the study, it is expected to detect the dangers related to stone structures and to take measures to prevent the hazards related to the structures.
