Industrial heritage; includes structures, areas, landscapes, ruins, and industrial processes that bear the technical, economic, and social characteristics of the period. All of these are unique elements in the formation of urban identity and local memory. The protection of industrial heritage, which was discussed in the second half of the 20th century, is a concept whose importance is known, as can be seen from the increasing examples in Turkey. This study aims to evaluate and examine the Yuvam Brick Factory, which is produced in Tarsus, within the scope of industrial heritage. Tarsus became a settlement that attracted the attention of foreign investors with its railway transportation and port trade in the late 19th century. Thus, the Mersin-Tarsus region became a settlement where factories were established. Industrial structures in the region are important for understanding the industrial and historical development of Tarsus.
Yuvam Brick factory was established in 1974 ended traditional brick manufacturing in 2016 and was demolished after the change of ownership in 2021. With this work done just before its demolition; brick kilns, lodgings, administration building, laboratory, security buildings, warehouse, workshop, machinery, and transformer rooms, award-winning balcony, a registered chimney, and official documents within the campus were identified. Evaluations were made to preserve the remaining units of the factory, other industrial structures in the region, archaeological findings, and traditional cultural heritage elements within the framework of a holistic plan. Thus, urban cultural memory will be maintained, and industrial heritage will be preserved and used by future generations.
