Özet

The "Izmir Reji Tobacco Factory" was first established in 1884 as a complex which demonstrates the industrial structures of the period and their working principles with classical spatial organization and construction system used within the buildings. The Complex is a unique industrial establishment, defined by 12 buildings in various sizes. The settlement is located in the Alsancak district of Izmir, very close to the Izmir Port, neighbouring the Alsancak Train Station and this situation grants the significance of the settlement. This paper aims to emphasize the protection of the industrial heritage structures through the periodization of architectural history of Izmir Reji Tobacco Factory as an important issue of the sustainable development.
