Contemporary Extension Proposal for Adaptive Reuse Industrial Archaeology: Minasın / Minas Mill Example

Abstract

Industrial archeology deals with the pre-industrial, industrial revolution and the periods after this revolution. One of
the industrial archeology structures is the mills. The issue of protecting and ensuring the sustainability of mills as rural
industrial heritage comes to the agenda quite frequently. However, as is the case with other historical buildings that
are in ruins, reintegration work cannot be carried out in mills due to the lack of restitution resources in restoration
applications to today's comfort conditions. In such cases, since the building cannot maintain its original function today,
a contemporary addition is designed to suit its new function. Within the scope of this study, conservation suggestions
were made for the Minasın Mill, which remained idle in Isparta, and a contemporary addition was designed. Firstly,
the building's survey was taken, and then modern annexes and building elements were designed in 3D and suggestions
were made for its use.
