THE INTERVENTIONS IN AMBIENT AREAS
THE TURKISH PUBLIC BATH TODAY AND TOMORROW

Abstract: Reconsidering the architecture development from the historical
period, we can see a significance of a regional way, not only in apartment archite-
cture, but also in the most representative one. Such architecture should consciously
allow identification of population in a certain area. The attractiveness of Orien-
tal-Islamic civilisation derived from different circumstances since it brought a life
standard into a higher level, it brought new consumers’ needs, developed aesthetic
feelings, gave power to imagination that was adopted to a man’s needs and brought
a new type of comfort, and especially for its positive relation towards nature.
Turkish Public Bath (Hamam) is one of the most significant elements of the
town, however, in its location, it does not differ by its volume and size, either it is
too stressed, it simply follows the line of the terrain, not opposing it.
With the analyses within the restoration project of the Turkish Public Bath,
in Novi Pazar, it was also included the streets of 7. Juli and 1. Maj, precisely a part
of it. The street is placed in the old town nucleus, in the area between the bridge
going over the river Raska and down the square, around Arap-Mosque.
The analyse was conducted in its whole, and it is made of photo documen-
tation and measuring and detail drafts of the location, then a detailed analyse of
deterioration of the object, derived under different influences of the time and man.
By putting the Turkish Public Bath under protection means an adequate use
of the area that must not, in any sense, destroy its form and historical identity, me-
ans actively to protect the object.
