Gozde Yildiz is a conservation architect, Master of Science from the Middle East Technical University, Ankara Turkey, Graduate Program in Conservation of Cultural Heritage; and currently PhD candidate at the Polytechnic University of Turin, Turin Italy, Department of Architecture and Design in Doctoral Program of Landscape and Architectural Heritage. Her field of interests focuses on particularly the sustainable re-use of cultural heritage sites by using the contemporary culture as a catalyst of the current zeitgeist, and the decisional process of this transformation from the experts standpoints. Her PhD research analyses different privately owned real-world cases and public cultural policies varying from bottom-up to top-down structured contexts to offer new perspectives and decisional guides to the experts taking part in these transformation processes based on those already realized experiences.
Based on these fields of interests and past experiences, she develops research in the field of transformation of heritage sites for future challenges, by promoting the new methodologies and new perspectives for management and sustainability of industrial heritage sites, and socio-cultural development of the communities through new culture manifested in these heritage sites. She has worked public institutions, cultural foundations and several NGOs to develop new policies for how to use new culture in these heritage sites as a new representative of industrial culture for future. She is also active member as a volunteer in several international organizations such as UNESCO and E-Faith to promote the industrial heritage sites of Turkey.

Such identities and ideas of coal would go on to shape industrial landscapes and communities.The papers presented in this session investigate the social and economic changes that were triggered by ...
Industrialization processes have been global from their very beginning. However, their interpretation still tends to be limited to specific locations or regions, and to specific time periods. Regularly, for example, it is stated that the industrial revolution started in Europe, from where it spread to the world, supposedly bringing technological and social progress to „less developed“ countries. Earlier periods of technology and knowledge transfer processes, that were already in place in t...

Many of the remained big scale Industrial heritage in Taiwan were the products of the Japanese colonial period between 1895 and 1945, which spans the first half of the twentieth century. This fifty-year colonial industrialisation is arguably Taiwan’s most influential industrial heritage because it began a rapid process of modernisation that is continuing today. The key to this process is the industrialisation that led to the development of main parts of the island, catalysed new communitie...

This lecture will argue that the landscapes of industrial heritage that can be found in different parts of the world are directly related to the place-specific trajectories of deindustrialization. In other words: the different ways in which deindustrialization impacts on local communities has a direct bearing on the emergence of forms of industrial heritage. I will differentialte between deindustrialization paths and related industrial heritage regimes in a) Anglo-...
