This is where reutilization strategies emerge as a very important intervention approach. Refunctioning refers to the transformation of historical buildings by gaining new and contemporary functions. This process has become the focus of sustainability discussions at times. When evaluated specifically for Turkey, it is seen that there is a rich experience in terms of industrial heritage. Buildings of different types in different cities have been preserved and refunctioned with various intervention approaches and design strategies. Based on this information, this study aims to examine the abandonment of Tersane Istanbul. This research also focuses on the reutilization of industrial heritage. The method of the research was conducted using qualitative data. During the literature review process, databases such as the Higher Education Council (YÖK) website, ULAKBİLİM Dergipark, Academia, and Google Scholar were examined, and a comprehensive research was conducted. The study first addresses the spatial changes that occurred in industrial structures and cities after the Industrial Revolution. In the final section of the relevant chapter, the architectural features of industrial structures are evaluated. In the second section, the concept of industrial heritage is examined in the context of urban identity, and concepts and practices related to its preservation are evaluated. The historical changes in coastal use are also discussed in this section. Finally, what refunctioning is and the justifications and examples of the studies to be carried out in this context are detailed. The history and industrialization of Tersane Istanbul are also examined in this section, and details of the Golden Horn Shipyard and Tersane Istanbul project are provided.
