Ankara Şeker Fabrikasının mevcut durumu üzerine kuruluşstratejilerinin yeniden kurulması

Sugar factories have brought significant achievements to the regions where they were established. These achievements, which we can define as establishment strategies, have versatile features such as providing industrial, rural, and agricultural development and supporting the modernization efforts of the society. In this thesis, the technical and social gains of sugar factories have been associated with Georg Simmel's concept of "the Stranger". Defined as one of the types of the social sphere, this concept removes the boundary between the private and public sphere and contributes to the continuous progress of society. However, sugar factories have lost these gains over time since the year they were established. One of the main reasons for this depreciation is the growth of cities as a result of rapid population growth and the fact that industrial areas remain in the center of the city. Ankara Sugar Factory, established in 1962, can be cited as an example of this situation. The factory established in the western corridor of the city has been torn between the dense urban fabric in time and has been subjected to the pressure of rent. It also faces the threat of privatization, like so many sugar factories in Turkey. These issues, which threaten the sustainability of Ankara Sugar Factory as an industrial area, have been examined within the framework of Timothy Morton's concept of "Dark Ecology". This concept argues that human beings must coexist in the future together with the degradation they have created and that this decay cannot be ignored. In this context, this thesis study has tried to establish the strategies of reconstructing the establishment strategies of sugar factories with current and contemporary architectural approaches. The proposed strategies were designed on the Ankara Sugar Factory campus area, as this industrial area has not yet been privatized. This study, which develops discourses about the future of the campus area, adopts the transformation strategies of IBA Emscher Park as a method. Located in the Ruhr region of Germany, IBA Emscher Park is not only an application area where industrial areas are re-functionalized but also a versatile transformation project where social and cultural renewal is fictionalized and continues to be constructed today. The project in question has a method based on industrial renewal and social and cultural renewal develops after transformational interventions. As a result, strategies for the Ankara Sugar Factory, an industrial area remaining in the city center, to participate in urban life and space without losing its industrial and cultural values have been developed. This study sets out with the idea of re-functioning an industrial field aims at social and cultural renewal in the long term and to establish a closer relationship with the city. With this thesis, it is aimed to present an academic study that discusses possible interventions to the campus area. Besides, the foundation has been prepared about the possible future use or situations of other sugar factories which are important elements of Turkey's industrial heritage.
