Industrial heritage is a social, cultural, and economic asset for the development of cities. It is significant not only for understanding history but also for explaining the present and interpreting our social and cultural practices, economic processes, the existing built environment, and the intangible values of our heritage for the future. Therefore, industrial heritage should be acknowledged not as a series of isolated elements or structures but within a holistic urban context including many categories ranging from; buildings, equipment, objects, structures, archives, production infrastructure, services, and the way of living/working that formed the socio-economic structure of the city. With the objective to develop a holistic approach to social, cultural, and environmental sustainability in historical urban contexts, each year, the third-year architectural design studios at TED University select diverse ‘historic urban landscapes’ to engage students in various processes of analysis, assessment, design, and intervention. In Fall 2023, the studio studied Zonguldak, a city whose existence is based on coal production and labor. As the first mining city in Turkey, Zonguldak presents a unique process of ebb and flow of a rapidly transformed industrial city, which is now threatened by several idle and disconnected industrial elements and brownfields. Developing an awareness of ‘Industrial Bygones’ as cultural heritage, the presented work will provide the concepts and methods established for the institutionalization of possible strategies for local collaborations in Zonguldak. The studio aimed to develop ideas for the interpretation and revitalization of industrial heritage in the city by creating an environment for exchange and discussion between students, scholars, professionals, locals, policy-makers, governmental agencies, and community organizations and by understanding what a heritage community expects for sustainability and sustainable development.
