Abstract

The article focuses on the transformation of Pilavoglu Han, a historic Ottoman commercial building in Ankara, Turkey, through community-driven adaptation strategies. It highlights how local artists and craftspeople have engaged in self-organized efforts to revitalize the han, preserving its heritage while enhancing its functionality as a mixed-use space. The adaptation process emphasizes the importance of community involvement, shared vision, and flexible strategies to maintain the building's cultural significance amidst urban regeneration pressures. The study presents Pilavoglu Han as a model for "slow and incremental adaptation," showcasing how grassroots initiatives can effectively contribute to heritage conservation.
