摘要:Monumental architectural structures are one of the important elements reflecting the social habits and life relations. At the same time, with their traditional and monumental quality, they are material cultural elements that document the continuity of the society, emphasize its identity and create the memory of the place. Historical environments are areas that carry traces from the past and present natural and cultural works together. Changing life styles, demands and needs throughout the centuries have differentiated the functions and use of historical monumental buildings. Restoration technique, which is applied with the names of refunctioning, renovation, renovation or re-use, allows the reuse of historical buildings. The historical monumental structures lost their original function, being re-used as a cultural heritage, is important in the context of the continuing use of historical structures. In today's conditions where cultural tourism is important, the re-activation of historical buildings has made a great contribution to the cities. However, refunctioning is the most important contribution; both in the preservation of monumental structures and in the maintenance of the identities of the cities. Historical structures, especially the re-functioning of monumental structures, need to be planned in such a way that new functions to be given to the structure will not harm the original qualities of the structure, or even emphasize its features. The reusing of monumental structures of historical and cultural significance makes it possible to use these structures today as well. This scope of work; re-functioning of Manisa, Galata and Nicosia Mevlevi building (Mevlevihane) and their transformation into a museums will be investigated. Mevlevi building is defined as buildings and building groups, where the tendency to maintain good moral values is maintained by using different ceremonies and actions. Different tomb and whirling space or place of worship connections can be seen in the Mevlevihane. Within the scope of this research, the architectural layouts of the Mevlevihane’s will be investigated. In this context, refunctioning of Mevlevi buildings and its conservation problems will be examined.
