The aim of this thesis is to develop a value assessment method for industrial heritage in Zonguldak, one of the symbolic industrial cities in Turkey where mining has been the leading force since the discovery of hard coal in the mid-19th century. Values to decide what to conserve and why are searched during this process under the light of discussions on industrial heritage and values of the architectural conservation. Focusing on this aim, this study is structured in four parts as the survey on industrialization and industrial heritage, review and discussion of value types, research on Zonguldak, and implementation of value assessment process for the selected study area with the proposed value types. To conclude, value assessment process is a vital step in conservation of cultural heritage. For the industrial heritage, a relatively recent concept in the conservation discipline, existing value types need to be re-assessed. This thesis performs an exemplification of value assessment for industrial heritage over a selected study area in the Zonguldak coalfield and proposes possible decisions under the light of this valuation.

In addition to discussing the theory and development of existing preservation approaches to cultural landscapes and industrial heritage sites, the study identifies characteristics and values aimed at expanding the framework of historic industrial landscape preservation practice. Using case studies of western hard-rock mining landscapes as the primary examples, the study argues that management strategies based on traditional preservation practices are insufficient for interpreting the complexity of these historic places, and that historic industrial landscape preservation is best served by attending to the range of values and processes associated with the historic landscape and its protection. / Committee in Charge: Robert Z.

This dissertation focuses on the development of the site in and around Rovos Rail. Rovos Rail is a unique train travel company cut off from the public view. The project context is located in Capital Park adjacent to Transnet Avenue. The primary purpose of the site was to accommodate railway-related workshop facilities that provisioned and maintained the trains and carriages on their way to the industries of Johannesburg. Rovos Rail has done much in terms of the conservation of railway history in Pretoria. This ambition should be celebrated and built upon. It is necessary to promote the conservation of the rich railway history of South Africa and understand the impact thereof on the contemporary landscape. In order to understand the significance of contextualism, research based on philosophical, theoretical and practical lenses will be conducted. The argument relies on understanding the context through these different lenses. The historical significance of the site is celebrated. The dissertation places it within the historical continuum of both the larger context of Pretoria and the smaller context of the surrounding community. Through the design of a Steam Locomotive Museum next to Rovos Rail, a holistic approach, based on contextualism theories and South African case studies is illustrated. The project proposal establishes a physical connection with the historically significant structures of the site and emphasises the historical layers. Inspiration is drawn from the existing railway lines, the existing platform, ecological features and buildings. The chosen function, that of the museum, intends to act as the arbitrator for the diversity of narratives of an ever-evolving landscape, be it manmade or natural. The museum represents a prototype for the methodology proposed. The design aims to facilitate the conservation of railway history, the education of the importance thereof and enticement to develop these sites to represent a prosperous future. / Mini Dissertation (MArch (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2020. / Architecture / MArch (Prof) / Unrestricted

Esta pesquisa teve como foco o estudo de caso da Companhia Nitro Química Brasileira instalada no bairro de São Miguel Paulista em São Paulo pelo Grupo Votorantim e Klabin Irmãos e Cia; dos espaços e arquitetura que gerou e de sua política de benefícios sociais com foco no papel das vilas operárias e equipamentos implantados pela fábrica para uso de seus trabalhadores. Buscou analisar a configuração espacial da fábrica e de seu núcleo residencial, estudando a arquitetura das instalações fabris, vilas operárias e equipamentos de suporte aos trabalhadores, considerando o programa dessas edificações, o tipo de habitações oferecidas, as formas de obtenção desse benefício e os funcionários contemplados; registrando a construção e transformação desses espaços e o papel da indústria e de suas vilas junto aos trabalhadores e na ocupação e configuração urbana do bairro onde foi implantado. / This essay focused on the study case of the Companhia Nitro Química Brasileira settled in São Miguel Paulista district in São Paulo by Votorantim Group and Klabin Irmãos e Cia; on the spaces and architecture that generated and on its social policy benefits, with the focus on the labourer villages and equipments established by the factory for the use of its employees. It intended to analyze the factory spatial configuration and its residential center, studying the architecture of the industrial installation, labourer villages and support equipments of workers, considerating the program of these constructions, the kind of the habitation offered, the ways of acquirement of this benefit and the contemplated employees; registering the construction and the transformation of theses spaces and the role of the industry and its villages to the workers and on the occupation and the urban configuration of the district where it was implanted.

Na Arroio dos Ratos da primeira metade do século XX, a comunidade carbonífera viu surgir e desaparecer uma importante indústria mineradora, tanto para o Rio Grande do Sul quanto para o Brasil. Com o fim da atividade extratora, a vila operária construída pelas companhias mineradoras foi desmantelada, restando apenas ruínas, memórias e os sentimentos de perda e orgulho pelo árduo ofício. Assim, a criação do Museu do Carvão nos remanescentes da antiga usina termoelétrica e poço de carvão foi percebida como uma oportunidade de reconstrução para esta comunidade, agindo igualmente como sustentação de uma \"identidade mineira\" pulsante. Mas não foi oportunidade apenas para ela, também para companhia mineradora e para o próprio Estado. Neste contexto os espaços de memória são utilizados como aparatos fundamentais para a divulgação de determinadas mensagens, entre elas representações da memória e de identidades. Partindo disso, esta pesquisa apresenta um estudo acerca das narrativas museológicas presentes no Museu Estadual do Carvão por intermédio de análise crítica do discurso expositivo veiculado pela instituição em dois momentos distintos, quando da reabertura do museu em 1994 e 20 anos depois, em 2014, com o objetivo de identificar, avaliar e compreender as relações entre identidade, memória e as instituições museais. / At the city of Arroio dos Ratos on the first half of the 20th century, the coal-mining community saw the rise and fall of the important mining industry of both for Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil. With the end of the extractive activity, the model village built by the companies was dismantled, leaving only ruins, memories and the feelings of loss and pride for all the hard work. The creation of the Museu do Carvão in the remnants of the older thermoelectric plant and coal pit was understood as an opportunity of reconstruction for this community, also acting as a support for a pulsating \"mining identity\". But it wasn\'t just an opportunity for it, also for the mining company and the goverment itself. In this context, these spaces are used as key device for the dissemination of certain messages, including representations of memory and identities. In light of this, the present study investigate museological narratives focused in two distinct moments of the Museu do Carvão: when the museum reopened in 1994 and 20 years later in 2014. We analyse these two ehxibitions discourse in order to identify, evaluate and understand the relationships among identity, cultural memory and museums.

Esta dissertação trata da formação do núcleo fabril constituído pela Companhia Melhoramentos de São Paulo na cidade de Caieiras (SP). Constituíram-se como objetos de pesquisa as edificações erigidas durante o período de crescimento do núcleo, o cotidiano dos trabalhadores e a formação populacional, o processo de desmonte do núcleo e as iniciativas voltadas para preservação dos edifícios remanescentes. Analisa a arquitetura dos edifícios domésticos e coletivos, tais como as moradias operárias e de chefias, as igrejas, os clubes, o cinema, os armazéns, as escolas, a estação ferroviária e os edifícios ligados ao trabalho e à produção industrial. Nesta análise foi observada a predominância da arquitetura eclética revestida de elementos da linguagem clássica. O objetivo principal desta dissertação é a análise da formação espacial do núcleo fabril e a reflexão acerca de medidas favoráveis à preservação dos edifícios remanescentes no contexto atual onde o patrimônio da Companhia Melhoramentos está inserido no processo de fragmentação e valorização imobiliária. Observa a necessidade do aprofundamento das questões relacionadas à prática e à implantação de políticas de preservação do patrimônio, em Caieiras, ressaltando as fragilidades da atual legislação municipal que versa sobre a necessidade de proteger o patrimônio cultural da cidade. A elaboração da pesquisa foi baseada em pesquisa bibliográfica sobre o tema abordado, na sistematização do material obtido através da pesquisa em arquivos históricos, nos levantamentos métricos, iconográficos e nas entrevistas feitas com antigos moradores e trabalhadores do núcleo fabril de Caieiras. / This dissertation deals with the formation of core manufacturing improvements made by the Company in Caieiras (SP). Established themselves as research subjects the buildings erected during the growth period of the nucleus, the daily training of workers and population, the process of dismantling the core and initiatives aimed at preserving the remaining buildings. Analyzes the architecture of buildings and collective household such as housing for workers and managers, churches, clubs, cinema, stores, schools, railway station buildings and workrelated and industrial production. In this analysis we observed the predominance of the eclectic architecture of coated elements of classical language. The main objective of this dissertation is to examine the spatial formation of the core manufacturing and thinking about measures for the conservation of buildings remaining in the current context where the assets of the company rather is embedded in the process of fragmentation and real estate appreciation. Notes the need for further discussion on issues related to the practice and implementation of policies for heritage preservation in Caieiras, highlighting the weaknesses of the current municipal legislation which deals with the need to protect the cultural heritage of the city. The completion of this study was based on literature about the topic, the systematization of the material obtained through research in historical archives, in metric surveys, and the iconographic interviews with former residents and workers in the industrial core of Caieiras.
