Abstract:

 


People in Anatolia have lived mainly in residential houses constructed by concrete and bricks.
There are also historic houses in small towns and villages which were built by
using building stones, bricks, adobe and wood in combination. However in the
case of public buildings, dimensioned stones had been used in Anatolia for the main construction
material since early times in history. Similarly KaratayCollege (Madrasah) buildings in Konya had been built by
using stones, wood and dimensioned stones in combination in 1251 for
educational purposes. It is logical to think that this building have been
repaired several times in history. Some of the early historic photographs
(dated 1890) of Konya which were taken for
general scenery purposes, covered also KaratayCollege building. These
photos present the college’s main entrance door and its frontier wall. Dimensioned
stones in this wall were also identified through the earlier photographs and
their current digitized surface colors have been defined one by one. Color
differentiation among them, together with similar stone types’ surface colors observed
around Konya city were determined to evaluate weathering influences on this
frontier wall stones. Defined surface color changes for analyzed frontier wall
stones demonstrated rock weathering due to climate, environments and human
influences which should be set to minimum level to protect Karatay college
building.
