  • Descrição: In Istanbul's poorly surviving 19 th century housing heritage, brick masonry and timber-clad, unfilled timber-frame are the most common construction techniques. However, before the 19 th century, timber-frame filled with adobe or brick (hımış) was common in Istanbul residences. In the background of this change are the period's political, economic, and social dynamics. One of these dynamics is related to the production and supply of building materials. This study traces the possibilities and restrictions experienced in the production process of traditional building materials during the 19 th century through the data (Republic of Turkey Presidential State Archives' documents, historical descriptions, photographs, etc.) obtained from archival research. The preferences in the use of materials in housing construction arising from the issues such as the difficulties in supplying materials in the reconstruction processes, the transition to industrial production, imported building materials into the domestic market, etc., are examined under the headings of three traditional building materials (timber, stone, brick). Historic maps are also used to illustrate how the prevailing choices affected the city's urban fabric.
