Ruhr’un Öğrettikleri: Türkiye’nin Endüstriyel Kültürünün Korunması İçin Bir Model Olarak Dünya Mirası Zollverein

Abstract

Madencilik ve çelik endüstrileri yirminci
yüzyılın başlarında Avrupa ülkelerinin ekonomik kalkınmalarının belirleyicileri
olmuştur. Aslında, bu sektörler Endüstri Devrimi ile birlikte ekonomik kalkınma
ve kentleşmeyi temsil etmeye başlamıştır. Ancak, 1960ların sonlarından itibaren
yeni enerji kaynakları ve gelişen bilişim teknolojileri dünya ekonomisini
değiştirmiş ve ağır sanayi endüstri ülkeleri için önemini kaybetmiştir. Yine
de, endüstri lideri bu ülkeler, endüstri yapılarını ve onların alanlarını
kültürel varlıklar olarak korumaya karar vermişlerdir. Bu lider ülkelerden biri
olan Almanya, bütünüyle bir bölgeyi o dönemin tanığı olarak koruma altına alan
ilk ülke olmuştur.
Yirminci yüzyılda
kentleşen ve endüstrileşen Ruhr bölgesi, yüz binlerce işçinin bölgeyi terk etmesinden
sonra, 1988 yılında IBA Emscher Park Projesinin konusunu oluşturmuştur.
1989’dan itibaren proje, bu bölgedeki bozulmuş olan peyzajın yeniden
yapılandırılmasına odaklanmıştır. Ne yazık ki, yapılan kazılar ve dolgular
nedeniyle topografya büyük ölçüde zarar görmüştür ve orijinal haline geri dönüş
mümkün olmamıştır. Dolayısıyla, bu bölge için içinde bulunduğumuz yüzyıla
yönelik yeni bir model önerisi geliştirmek, endüstriyel kültürün ve bölgenin
kültürel kimliğinin altını çizmenin bir aracı olmuştur. Bu makale, 2010 yılında
“Avrupa Kültür Başkenti” ilan edilen Ruhr bölgesini, Türkiye’nin endüstriyel
alanlarının korunmasında bir model oluşturmasını sorgulamak amacıyla
endüstriyel kültürü ile tartışmaktadır. 1989 ve 1999 yılları arasında Ruhr bölgesinde
yapılanlar ve sonrasındaki yankıları pek çok ülkeye ilham vermiştir. Bu
nedenle, Ruhr modelinin diğer yerler ve politik ortamlar için uygulanabilirliği
bu makalenin konusunu oluşturmaktadır ve Internationale Bauausstellung
(International Building Exhibition - IBA) Emscher Park Projesi’nin felesefesi
ve Ruhr’daki etkileri Türkiye’deki muhtemel dönüşümlere ışık tutması amacıyla
Zeche Zollverein örneği üzerinden detaylandırılmaktadır.

Learning From the Ruhr: The Case of the World Heritage Site Zollverein as a Model of Conserving Industrial Culture in Turkey

Year 2016, Volume: 7 Issue: 19, 474 - 496, 31.05.2016

Abstract

The coal mining and
steel industries became determinants of European countries’ economic development
in the early twentieth century. In fact, these sectors came to represent
economic progress and urbanization with the Industrial Revolution. However,
beginning in the late 1960s, new energy sources as well as developing information
technologies altered the world economy, and heavy industry lost its importance
for industrial countries. Nevertheless, these countries, which had led in
industry, decided to conserve their industrial buildings and their sites as
cultural assets. Germany, one of the leading countries, was the first to
conserve an entire industrial region as evidence of a period. The Ruhr region,
which was highly urbanized and industrialized in the twentieth century, became
the subject of the IBA Emscher Park Project, in a search for solutions for the
obsolete forms of modernity. The IBA project was founded in 1988 after hundreds
of thousands of workers left the region. Soon after its establishment, in 1989,
the project addressed reconstructing the landscape. However, the topography had
been largely destroyed with the excavations and in-fills, and there was no way
of returning to the original landscape. Accordingly, proposing a new model for
this region for the new century became a tool of highlighting the industrial
culture and the cultural identity of the region. This paper discusses the Ruhr
region, which was pronounced “the Cultural Capital of Europe” in 2010 for its
industrial culture, as a model for conserving post- industrial sites in Turkey.
The work performed in the Ruhr region between the years 1989 and 1999 and its
repercussions today inspired many countries. Therefore, the philosophy of the
Internationale Bauausstellung (International Building Exhibition-IBA) Emscher
Park Project and its current impacts in the Ruhr is elaborated through the case
of Zeche Zollverein in order to shed light on possible transformations in
Turkey.
