Localisé à l’extrême sud-ouest de la péninsule anatolienne en Turquie, Patara était un des principaux sites portuaires de la province de Lycie antique qui maintint son importance durant la période protobyzantine. Parmi les édifices balnéaires de Patara, les bains de Hurmalik se distinguent par sa localisation à l'intersection septentrionale des routes reliant le centre-ville au port et à la porte érigée en l'honneur du gouverneur Modeste. Les bains de Hurmalik sont parmi les premiers édifices fouillés de Patara. Construit vers la fin du Ier ou début du Ile siècle, l'édifice a connu une intensive réutilisation durant la période protobyzantine. Dans le but de comprendre les différentes phases d'utilisations et de réaménagements des bains, des fouilles ont été reprises de 2005 à 2008. L'étude du mobilier céramique des saisons 2005-2008 a révélé plusieurs groupes de céramiques importées et de productions locales appartenant à la période protobyzantine. Les céramiques importées se composent des grands groupes de céramiques fines et d'amphores. En provenance d'Afrique du Nord, du Levant et de l'Egée, ces produits de consommation montrent l'effervescence du économique de la ville et dans un plus large sens, les relations commerciales et culturelles qu'entretenait la Lycie avec les régions proches ou lointaines de l'espace méditerranéen entre le IVe et la première moitié du VIIe siècle. / Located on the southwestern edge of the Anatolian peninsula in Turkey, Patara was one of the main port sites of the antique Province of Lycia which. maintained its importance during the early Byzantine period. Among the bath buildings of Patara, the "Hurmalik Hamam" is distinguished by his location at the northern intersection of the roads linking the city center with the port and the gate erected in honor of Governor Modestus. The bath was among the first excavated buildings of Patara. Constructed towards the end of the 1st to the beginning of the 2nd century, the building experienced an intensive re-use during the early byzantine period. In order to determine the different phases of use and redevelopment of the bath, excavations were carried out from 2005 to 2008. The study of the ceramic repertory of the 2005-2008 excavation seasons revealed several groups of imported ceramics and local productions belonging to the early byzantine period. Imported ceramics consist of large groups of red slip wares and amphorae. Coming from North Africa, the Levant and the Aegean, these consumer products show the economical effervescence of the city and, in a broader sense, the trade and cultural relations that Lycia bas with neighboring regions or Far from the Mediterranean area from the 4th to the first half of the 7th century.

This study targets to address the problem of &#039 / new building in a traditional setting&#039 / , utilizing computational design tools. The intention is to provide a methodology for analysis of architectural features of a traditional tissue and moreover propose computational design strategies utilizing algorithms for processing analytical data serving new building design. In the introduction part, this goal is exposed as well as a critic discussion based on a conservationist perspective for contemporary examples of computational design. Contemporary digital tools and methods employed in the field of architecture are discussed with a focus on algorithmic approaches, followed by a brief history for utilization of computational tools and digital design philosophy in the following chapter. Moreover organic architecture is discussed as a complex entity composed of integral elements and their relations, as well as the designer

The main subject of the thesis is planning &ldquo / cultural routes&rdquo / as a method for conservation of cultural and natural heritage areas at regional scale. Defining a framework of conceptual principles which should be considered in spatial planning of cultural routes and regional networks constitutes the major aim of the thesis. Within the scope of the study, a new developing concept recently, cultural routes are discussed as a tool for sustaining historic and local values of rural and archaeological landscapes. In this respect, the study is structured in two main parts. Firstly, conceptual background on the issue is discussed as the development of cultural route concept, definitions declared by international organizations working on the issue and principles of route planning. Secondly, based on the conceptual research, basic concepts and principles for route planning process is discussed through a case study. The case study for the thesis is selected as the Kas- Kekova region in Antalya, known as the Central Lycia in antiquity. Depending on the assessment of region&rsquo / s cultural landscape, the study is resulted by description of a spatial and conceptual framework for planning of a cultural route network in the region. Through areas rich in cultural and natural heritage, planning routes and networks at regional scale could be used as an effective tool for presenting and sustaining multivalent character of the place, and leading economic sectors which have effect on heritage.

La Lycie, région mystérieuse et fascinante, avec une identité mixte qui englobait des éléments locaux et des éléments gréco-perses, n’a pas encore une étude « générale » : pour cette raison, j’ai décidé de consacrer mon travail à son analyse. Cette thèse a été divisée en trois grandes parties : la première présente une analyse de l’évolution géographique des frontières régionales à partir du VIe siècle av. J.-C. jusqu’à la provincialisation romaine avec une perspective synchronique et diachronique. La deuxième décrit l’histoire régionale, en tenant naturellement compte des sources arrivées jusqu’à nous. La troisième contient l’édition des fragments des historiens auteurs de Lykiaka, c’est à dire les fragments des historiens de langue grecque, auteurs d’oeuvres monographiques sur cette région asiatique (Menecrate de Xanthos ; Policarme ; Léon d’Alabande ; les fragments de la « Constitution des Lyciens » ; Alexandre Polyhistor ; Capiton de Lycie ; Aristenète). Les trois parties de ce travail ne sont pas des sections indépendantes et séparées, mais interagissent et communiquent constamment les unes avec les autres : un ouvrage compliqué et composite, mais qui cherche de reproduire la complexité d’une région « de frontière ». / A general study lacks about Lycia, mysterious and fascinating region with a mixed identity that included local and Greco-Persian elements: for this reason, I decided to dedicate my PhD thesis to her analysis. This work has been divided into three parts: the first presents a study on the changing geography of regional borders from the sixth century B.C. until the creation of the Roman province, with a synchronic and diachronic perspective. The second describes the regional history. The third contains the fragments of the authors of Lykiaka, in other words the fragments of Greek historians, authors of monographic works on Lycia (Menecrates of Xanthos; Policarme; Léon of Alabanda; the fragments of the "Constitution of the Lycians"; Alexander Polyhistor; Capito of Lycia; Aristaenetus). The three parts of this work constantly interact and communicate each other: a complicated and composite work, but able to reproduce the complexity of a “ border” region.
