Conservation of industrial heritage is a very popular issue in last years. But
this conservation studies are not adequate so a lot of industrial complexes which
effected architectural features of industrial buildings, style of producing, production
and economic history and social life of citizens, are face to face with being
demolished. These complexes should be preserved and inherited to the next
generations. One of these complexes is Kayseri Sumerbank Bez Fabrikasi which was
established in Early Republican Period in 1934 by Sumerbank in Kayseri.
Turkish Government who made merit of development and progress in the first
years of republic made a number of investments following variant policies. It was
considered that economic independence, social development and modernization
could be made by those investments. Industry was one of the major investments. It
was aimed to make economy independent by industrialization.
Locations for production and materials were decided through a certain plan.
The first and the most important of the industrial investments was Sü / merbank Bez
v
Fabrikasi established by Sü / merbank in Kayseri. It was not only for economic
progress but also for social development. It was built in 1935 by Russian architects in
a modernist approach in reinforced concrete system for the first time in Kayseri.
Factory was not just a production place. It consisted of a lot of social and service
buildings and areas.
Kayseri as a city of a longstanding history shaped its future with Sü / merbank
Bez Fabrikasi. Sü / merbank is the basis of the city& / #8217 / s industry as it is called an industry
center today. Sü / merbank Bez Fabrikasi was effective in the development of Kayseri
and Turkey with its qualified workers, modernization and progress it brought to city.
The main aim of this work is to determine the value of Kayseri Sü / merbank
