Artvin, which had been a view of a rural town in the first years of the Turkish Republic, had still preserved its traditional character in this era. Over time a major transformation lasted in town�s traditional character that can be seen in many other Anatolian towns. In addition to the change that took place in the city�s residential areas, so many public buildings are added to the urban lanscape in time because of being the central of the province. Artvin Government House is the most important one beetween these buildings which has built in 1974 by winning architectural project of Aslaner, G�ng�ren and G�rel after the competition of Ministry of Public Works in 1968 according to the need of a new Goverment House. Old government house which was an important witness of the city's history and was expected to be protected from competitors were transferred to the new building with the creation of an abstract modulation in the proportions of the new design. Despite all the efforts the historical building was demolished in the 1980s. This study aimed to discuss the conservation of modern architectural heritage subject, which has started to be more discussed in conservation science environments in recent years, in the case of Artvin Government House which carries traces of the old government house. The protection of Artvin Government House, which was obtained after a national architectural competition, has a crucial importance because of not only reflects the architectural style of the period but also witnesses the town�s last fourty years history. The preservation of the 20th century modern architectural heritage of Artvin and transmitting to this heritage to next generations are at least important that the protection of the traditional and monumental buildings dating to 19th century or earlier periods that number of which are decreasing nowadays.

Cumhuriyetin ilk y�llar�nda k��k bir kasaba g�r�n�m�nde olan Artvin�in o tarihlerde hen�z geleneksel karakterini korudu�u ancak son 60 y�lda b�y�k bir d�n��m ge�irerek bir�ok Anadolu kenti gibi bu karakterinden uzakla�t�� g�r�lmektedir. Kentin konut dokusunda ger�ekle�en bu de�i�imin yan� s�ra il merkezi olmas� dolay�s�yla kamusal fonksiyonlara y�nelik in�a edilen bir�ok yap� da zaman i�erisinde kent peyzaj�na eklemlenmi�tir. Kent dokusuna kat�lan kamu yap�lar�n�n en �nemlisi; eski h�k�met kona��n�n kentin ihtiya�lar�na cevap veremez hale gelmesi gerek�esiyle 1968 y�l�nda Bay�nd�rl�k Bakanl�� taraf�ndan a��lan mimari proje yar��mas�n� kazanan Mustafa Aslan Aslaner, Erkal G�ng�ren ve S�mer G�rel�den olu�an ekibin projesinin 1974 y�l�nda uygulanmas� sonucunda in�a edilen Artvin H�k�met Kona��d�r. Yar��mac�lardan korunmas� beklenen eski h�k�met kona��n�n oranlar� soyutlanarak yarat�lan mod�lasyonla yeni yap�ya aktar�lm�� ancak kentin ge�mi�inin �nemli bir tan�� olan eski h�k�met kona�� 1980�li y�llarda y�kt�r�lm��t�r. Bu �al��ma son y�llarda koruma kamuoyunda g�n ge�tik�e daha fazla yer tutmaya ba�layan modern mimarl�k miras�n�n korunmas� konusunu eski h�k�met kona��n�n izlerini de bar�nd�ran Artvin H�k�met Kona�� rne�inde tart��may� hedeflemektedir. 1970�li y�llarda, ulusal bir mimari proje yar��mas� sonras� elde edilmi� Artvin H�k�met Kona��n�n korunmas�n�n hem ulusal �l�ekte in�a edildi�i d�nemin mimari yakla��m�n� yans�tmas� hem de kentin son 40 y�ll�k tarihinin �nemli bir tan�� olmas� nedeniyle b�y�k �nem ta��d�� d��n�lmektedir. Artvin kent tarihi a��s�ndan 20. y�zy�l�n modern mimarl�k anlay��n� yans�tan yap�lar�n korunarak gelecek ku�aklara aktar�lmas� en az 19. y�zy�l ve �ncesine tarihlenen ve g�n�m�zde say�lar� olduk�a azalan geleneksel ve an�tsal yap�lar�n korunmas� kadar �nemlidir.
