Conservation and re-adaptation of industrial heritage has been a quite important aspect in the sense of continuity of the historic industrial character of the place for future generations. Industrial buildings usually lost their functions due to the fast technological developments and changing within production/consumption systems. This inevitable functional loss caused the obsolete structures which are regarded as industrial heritage. It is essential to conserve and recover the post-industrial landscapes together with the all elements associated with the industrial activity. Ayvalık is pioneer settlement in the West Anatolia with the olive and olive-oil industry as a major economic activity since its establishment. However, due to great shift of production technology, daily life, working style and the structure of urban space, there is a large stock of derelict industrial buildings within the city center. In addition, few of them are restored under poor conditions as a result of financial profits. This situation causes danger of extinction for Ayvalık’s olive industrial heritage which constitutes the identity of the town. Therefore, transformation of these abandoned post-industrial landscape becomes a major issue through new re-use projects of these obsolete structures. One of these industrial heritage structures is Ertem Olive-oil Factory which is a part of Ayvalık's identity as being one of the modest, well-preserved examples that reflects not only the specific architectural features of its construction time, but also olive-oil production processes and technological changes within time. Accordingly, the aim of this thesis is to develop a conservation proposal within the lights of analysis and assessments that were made throughout the research. Focusing on this aim, first, theoretical and practical background of adaptive re-use strategies for conservation of industrial heritage were examined through selected examples from Italy, Turkey and also from Ayvalık. These strategies were re-evaluated for proposing an approach for adaptive re-use of industrial buildings in order to constitute a base for the study. After, Ertem Olive-oil Factory and its environment were documented, analyzed and evaluated in detail. In addition to this, in order to better understand the building, olive-oil production process and its reflection to the architecture were studied in detail. And finally, within the lights of all obtained data, a conservation proposal was prepared according to the values, problems and potentials of the building and site

The prevailing mindset of heritage practice which was originated in the early 20th century, is so associated with the ‘thing’ that causes incompetence in responding to cultural and social demands of heritage conservation. Therefore, this thesis examines the treatments of former prison sites with the aim of revealing contemporary agents of cultural heritage conservation that are utilized to sustain and, indeed, to nurture intangible features of heritages. The discourse that is constructed around the abandone...

Historical settlements are heritage sites which are formed in time, in accordance with the landform, climate, local materials and traditional living styles which all together specify the original characteristics of that area. They should be able to change and develop according to the needs, while they also maintain the continuity of their original characteristics. In this concept, new buildings in historical settlements is a conservation problem and solutions should be provided to maintain the values of the...

The industrial areas established by the state in early years of Republican Period were founded not only to provide economic and industrial development, but also to direct social transformation aiming to create a modern Turkey. Therefore, industrial areas reflect the economic social and spatial context of the time they were established, and the culture of production. It is necessary to determine and assess the values of these areas so as to define why and how to conserve and transfer them to future generatio...

Historical monuments are the most invaluable reflections of our architectural heritage and cultural identity, both of which have significant roles to create a strong link between the past and the present. They should be conserved in their own settings with their original characteristics or with as minimum changes as possible. However, natural or man-made hazards cause a serious risk for the survival of historical monuments. While some of them require to be strengthened only, some should be relocated to a ne...

The field of preservation of historic and cultural heritage has been a multidisciplinary science from the beginning. And the demand for any pioneer technique that may ease the conservation task still lives. In the past four decades computational design has started grow with the aim of conservation and the evolution of its techniques have been helping the specialists in nearly every step of decisions they make, notably in archeology. The digital data derived from a physical site, whether it is an object, mon...
