The Assessment of Ankara Karum Shopping Center as a Cultural Heritage

Abstract

Following the Industrial Revolution, advancements in the fields of science and art have inevitably been reflected in architectural practices, thus the forms, materials, construction methods and functions of artefacts have diversified. This has led to the emergence of new building typologies, one of which is the shopping center typology. Shopping centers, which appeared in the 1950s in the world and in the 1980s in Turkey, are spaces where cultural, recreational and social facilities take place in addition to retail sales. The shopping center typology, emerged in the second half of the twentieth century, is expected to be considered as cultural heritage in the near future. So that, this paper focuses on Karum Shopping Center, one of the first intact shopping center examples in Ankara of a new building typology representing globalized lifestyles and consumption trends. The aim of this study is to analyze Karum Shopping Center in terms of the conservation of cultural heritage, to reveal its heritage values, to identify its problems and to propose strategies for its maintenance.
