Architectural space is an outcome of complex relations, embracing the physical, functional, social, and economic features of the period in which it was built or used. Likewise, production spaces dating back to the preindustrial and industrial eras are reflections of past production and manufacturing systems. Due to their specific requirements related to function, production buildings possess distinctive architectural features, building materials, construction techniques, and installations. Soap factories evolved as a new building type in the Ottoman territory in the Mediterranean basin, where olive cultivation was widespread, especially from the 19th century onward, due to the increase in trade. Although a broad range of building types from the Ottoman period have been discussed widely in the literature, soap factories have been largely overlooked to date. This paper analyzes Ottoman soap factories as a building type from a functionalist perspective and investigates how olive oil and soap production shaped the form and character of architectural space by documenting the Okten-Aselcioglu Soap Factory in Antakva (Antioch), which can be considered a significant example in terms of its original architectural features and installations. The building also offers insights into soap production technologies from different periods, since it functioned as a soap factory from the 19th century until the 2000s. The relationship between the production process and the architectural space will be discussed through an investigation of the flow of spaces, spatial requirements, specific installations, and construction techniques that are unique to olive oil and soap production.

17. Yüzyıl Başından 19. Yüzyıl Ortasına Kadarki Dönemde Anadolu Osmanlı Şehrinde Şehirsel Yapının Değişme Süreci
Aktüre, Sevgi (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1975)
The pre-modern city in Anatolia acquired its essential characteristics in Ottoman period in terms of levels of organization in city life, population size, occupational differentiation, spatial distribution of activities and land use relationships, and provided a physical layout which was reused also for contemporary purposes in existing settlements of today. For an understanding of the spatial structure of Anatolian Ottoman city between 17th and mid 19th centuries, the growth and development have several im...
A new approach for defining the conservation status of early Republican architecture, case study : primary school buildings in İzmir
Kul, Fatma Nurşen; Madran, Emre; Department of Architecture (2010)
International discussions on the conservation of the twentieth-century architectural heritage emphasize the diversity of the whole of the built environment of the entire century, rather than limiting consideration to canonic examples of the architectural historiography during the identification and assessment of the properties to be conserved. In contrast to this international holistic and inclusive approach, the approach to the identification and assessment of the properties in Turkey has in general been s...
The Conservation principles for the brick and tile factories in Eskişehir
Tülce, Ayten Hüma; Özgönül, Nimet; Restoration in Department of Architecture (2012)
The aim of this thesis is to develop conservation principles for the brick and tile industry in Eskişehir, one of the symbolic industrial cities in Turkey where brick and tile has been the significant production from the Early Republic Period. The conservation of these structures, complexes and mechanical elements is a controversial issue owing to their physical, economical, social and administrative values. The principles how to conserve and why is searched through discussions on conservation approaches, d...
An investigation of strengthening of historical masonry constructions by steel skeleton
Küçükdoğan, Bilge; Akkar, Sinan; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2007)
Historical masonry structures are important cultural assets which reveal the social, archaeological, aesthetic, economical, political, architectural and technical features of their times. Within the course of the time, the structures have been exposed to the destructive effects of the nature and the man. Some has been able to survive somehow and others were totally ruined. Most of the remained structures are in vulnerable condition to upcoming effects and for the continuity of their presence, structural str...
