Sustainability of industrial heritage: The old ice factory case

Abstract

The main aim of this study is to point out to raising the value of buildings through reuse in order to conserve the industrial heritage and provide sustainability. For this reason, central city of Kirklareli has been chosen as the study area. Primarily, the existing and absent examples of industrial heritage in the city have been analysed through information obtained from literature review, archive documents, old photographs, and interviews. Then, the Old Ice Factory Building was examined from an architectural point of view which is in active use and whose sustainability was maintained from past to present with different reuse. © Peter Lang AG 2020.
