Challenges and Constraints in the Transformative Reuse of Heritage Industrial Buildings for Child-Oriented Spaces

Abstract

This research examines the complexities and limitations encountered in the process of transforming historical industrial structures into spaces for children. The main purpose of the study is to analyze the difficulties of addressing the special structural and technological characteristics of industrial structures that need to be protected together with the requirements of children's spaces such as safety, ergonomics, and user-friendliness. The transformation of Antalya Weaving Factory from a nursery building to a toy museum reveals the architectural, functional, and conservation-oriented problems in such transformation processes. Qualitative data collection methods were carried out during the research, including on-site observations, photograph analyses, and architectural drawing examinations. The old and new facades of the factory, adaptations for children, and interior arrangements were examined in detail and the harmony of the transformation with the historical texture was evaluated. The findings show that creating child-friendly environments does not only include safety and functionality but also the necessity of preserving the historical identity of the structure. The Antalya Weaving Factory example offers important implications on how protection and harmony can be balanced in the adaptive reuse of industrial structures, especially in space transformation projects for children.
