Loft Living and Gentrification: A Case for Istanbul Galata District Reading Change through Loft Designs

Öz

Following economic restructuring movements in 1950s, loft living first emerged as a result of gentrification process in New York City. In Istanbul, loft living became available recently and loft designs have represented in limited cases. This paper aims to examine loft living and loft designs in Galata, emerged as a result of micro-scale gentrification process in Istanbul. The research defines lofts in terms of spatial criteria; examines loft designs as an architectural result of gentrification process in Galata and aims to read the socio-cultural change through these designs. Selected lofts were examined through observations, interviews and photographs. The analysis table specifies names, construction dates, conversion dates, user profiles and according to criteria predetermined as part of the research, investigates what type these lofts correspond in structural and functional terms. Consequently, lofts emerged following the initial gentrification movements in Galata (original lofts converted for mixed-use) still exist in district; the number of ‘lofts converted for commercial use’ has increased due to the recent popularization of the area. Besides, ‘semi-lofts converted for residential use’ and ‘imitation lofts built for residential use' reflecting just the commercial image of loft living and realized by large-scale construction firms, have emerged.
