In this study, the Museum of Innocence, a personal museum fictionalized
in parallel to Orhan Pamuk’s novel of the same name, is examined in context of
adaptive re-use on the basis of its adaptive reuse fiction directing the
transformation of the Brukner Apartment. By reason of the fact that it is built
both in architectural and literal fields collaterally, the Museum of Innocence
has an unusual transformation story created within the intersection of fact and
fiction. On that sense, as promoting an alternative way to reuse a historical
house, it sets a unique example to discuss the transformation and evolution of
residential environment and its sustainability within the urban context.
Through the study, the transformation process of the Brukner Apartment
and the dynamics of this transformation are discussed. Focusing on the method
of the transformation and the content of the new usage, creation of the
adaptive reuse fiction in collaboration of architecture and literature through
an interdisciplinary dialog and configuration of the content of the fiction to
be based on everyday life practices are highlighted. Analyzing the new spatial
situation of the Museum of Innocence, success of the adaptive re-use fiction to
ensure the sustainability of urban, cultural and social structure is exposed.
