Accessibility of privately owned industrial heritage sites: a multidimensional analysis of the Beykoz Kundura in Istanbul and the BaumwollSpinnerei in Leipzig
No full textLe peculiarità intrinseche dei siti del patrimonio industriale li rendono suscet-tibili a dinamiche conflittuali durante i processi di trasformazione. Questi processi risulta-no ulteriormente complicati dalla complessa struttura della proprietà, che spesso coinvolge una pluralità di attori sociali. La partecipazione nella gestione condivisa dei beni culturali si manifesta in varie forme, tra cui l’acquisizione di conoscenze, la visita, il godimento e l’ispirazione. La presente ricerca si focalizza sul concetto di proprietà condivisa del patri-monio, con particolare attenzione all’accessibilità, distinguendo tra tre principali categorie: l’accesso gratuito per il pubblico, gli usi semiprivati o semipubblici con tariffe d’ingresso per i visitatori culturali e gli usi privati destinati ai nuovi residenti. La ricerca analizza due ex spazi industriali di proprietà privata: il Beykoz Kundura a Istanbul, precedentemente una conceria, e il BaumwollSpinnerei a Lipsia, un tempo cotonificio. Questi luoghi oggi operano come poli culturali e sono riconosciuti come modelli esemplari
Banned word: the 'uranium'
Full text linkWe would not have known the reason behind the nebulous meanings and definitions of wismut in Bad Schlema in Saxony region, if we would not meet a man in the Uranium Museum (Uranbergbau, The Museum of Uranium mining). This story might also enlighten you about the origins of the name of Wismut Company in East Germany, which is still active in the region for the current industrial activities. Wismut is the German word referring to bismuth, which is a chemical element with the symbol of Bi
Transformation Process of Industrial Heritage Places; Case Study: Northern Industrial Zone of Ayvalık, Turkey
Full text linkAyvalık is a pioneer settlement in Western Anatolia with an olive-based industry since its
establishment. 'Ayvalık Industrial Landscape' is defined by a specific geography which
accepted on the tentative list of UNESCO in 2017 as an outstanding example of social and
economic structure of 19th-century industry based on olive oil production in Western
Anatolia. During the development of Ayvalık as an industrial center in 19th-century,
introduction of the factory buildings with large program that are mostly located in the
northern industrial zone along the coastline for taking an advantage of sea water and being
closer to the port, was the main impact to the urban settlement pattern of Ayvalık. However,
due to fast technological developments, changes in production systems and relocation of the
industrial activities, industrial heritage buildings have remained as reminders of their times.
Although some of them have converted into new uses, they usually lost their functions which
caused a large stock of derelict industrial buildings within the city center.
The aim of this paper is to discuss the transformation process of northern industrial zone of
Ayvalık by re-reading the current state of the northern industrial zone in order to find the
principles and strategies for the conservation of industrial heritage of Ayvalık according to its
indigenous values, potentials and new demands
Modernization through Past: Cultural Heritage during the late Ottoman and the early-Republican period in Turkey: compte rendu de l’ouvrage de Mesut Dinler “Modernization through Past: Cultural Heritage during the late Ottoman and the early-Republican period in Turkey”, Pisa, Edizioni ETS, 2019
Full text linkThis review sheds light on Dinler's work regarding modernisation through the past, offering valuable insights into the geopolitical importance of heritage, placemaking, and nation-building, as well as architecture, in the Turkish cultural context. While several studies have explored the connection between heritage, place, architecture, and political issues, there is a limited understanding of the geopolitical impact on heritage and architectural materiality (Lushnikova, 2016). Eisenmann's (1995) insights on the 'critical' concept in geopolitics, which are centred on the management of the potential for 'being', referencing Kant and Piranesi and focusing on 'being' in architecture, are instructive. The application of this idea in various fields such as heritage and 'modernism' demonstrates the numerous aspects of 'being' in a geopolitical setting (Scruton, 1997)
Community-driven heritage care: developing an inclusive and sustainable landscape of care for Pionta
No full textThis article examines the concept of ‘heritage’ in the context of ‘landscapes of care’, which approaches care as a means of fostering connections between humans and non-humans. Heritage care involves communities actively engaging with and benefiting from cultural heritage in various ways. Establishing a caring landscape for heritage involves empowerment, participation, and collaboration, as demonstrated by two community-driven heritage projects in Pionta’s cultural landscape. The first project aims to create a community that strengthens the emotional bonds between individuals and their cultural legacy by promoting acts of care. The second introduces diverse participatory and art-based methods that cater to the needs of the involved groups and foster a shared sense of care for their heritage. By using heritage education and serious games as empowerment tools, the projects show how collective heritage caring can change the visual, verbal, and mental representations of a marginal heritage landscape from the community’s perspective
Heritage volunteerism, cultural journalism and participatory placemaking: insights from ‘European Heritage Times’ and Erzgebirge cultural landscape
No full textThis study investigates the impact of collaborative creative approaches and voluntary work in the heritage domain, particularly exploring how participatory journalism can involve young volunteers pursuing serious leisure careers. The investigation utilises concepts from citizen humanities, participatory informal placemaking, and serious leisure theory to explore the potential advantages of engaging in voluntary heritage-related activities for both serious leisure volunteers and applied World Heritage Sites. These activities encompass visits to historic locations, short-term stays in heritage sites, and participation in experiential and formative programs. Furthermore, the study explores the effects of this volunteering process on transformation, highlighting both the volunteerism and placemaking aspects of the learning-making process. The researcher, serving as both a serious leisure volunteer and participatory action researcher, employs the editorial project ‘The European Heritage Times’ to assess the impact of this process on volunteers and the heritage sector, as well as on informal placemaking within the applied cultural context of Erzgebirge
