Article From Work to Leisure: ”Transforming Kitchen Spaces, Technologies, and Practices in Türkiye, 1930s-2020s.”(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Emgin, Bahar; Bektaş Ata, L.; Karaosmanoğlu, D.; 02.04. Department of Industrial Design; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 01. Izmir Institute of TechnologyKitchens are more than functional spaces; they reflect and shape cultural values, technologies, and ideals of modern life. Framing the kitchen as an orchestrating concept that brings together images, materials, and competencies, this article examines how idealized settings and tools have produced shifting narratives of modernity and redefined meanings, functions, and everyday practices in Türkiye from the 1930s to the present. It highlights the transformation of the kitchen from a moralizing space to one of entertainment and creativity across three eras: the ordered workshop of the 1930s, the cozy living room of the 1970s, and the technological hub of the 2000s. Drawing on archival research from a larger project on the social history of domestic technologies in Türkiye, the article analyzes newspapers, magazines, TV commercials, social media, and films to reveal how domestic ideals have been negotiated through kitchen spaces. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.Article Industrial History and Heritage of the Karaburun Mercury Mining District, Türkiye(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Özcan Gönülal, Yasemin; Yüceer, Hülya; Yüceer, Hülya; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 02. Faculty of Architecture; 02.01. Department of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the RectorateMining metallic resources has been important to technological advancement since prehistoric times and has contributed to the progress of civilisation. Mining heritage includes sites and structures related to mining that reveal historical and cultural insights. The remains of structures in the mercury mining district on the Karaburun peninsula of Izmir in Türkiye, which includes the Kalecik, Karareis and Dikencik mines, is one such site. Despite its abandonment and subsequent damage, research has highlighted the importance of the district during the late Ottoman empire and the early years of the Republic as a source of cinnabar, the most common source ore for refining elementary mercury. Comparable mines elsewhere have been transformed into heritage sites and tourist attractions, such as at Monte Amiata in Italy and Idrija in Slovenia. In view of the potential, this study aimed to establish the historical and industrial significance of the Karaburun mercury mining district through detailed research and site survey to form a robust base for a holistic conservation approach. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
