ABSTRACT With the development of the modern soap production techniques, traditional ways started to vanish. In the past, sabunhane, soap workshops, were built in the regions where there was olive-oil production. In Turkey, many soap workshops, large and small in scale, in the settlements where there was soap production. Until now, there has been no extensive study of the soap workshops in Turkey. This study identifies and documents the historical soap workshops in and around Nizip (Gaziantep) in south-eastern Turkey, which are important features of the region’s industrial heritage. Amongst these workshops, Nizip Sayınlar workshop, which was built in the 19th century with architectural features characteristic of the region, and which reflects the technological level of the period and processes of production, is described in greater detail. First, the distinctive architectural features of the soap workshops are analysed. The importance of soap production and its historical development are described, and the tools and techniques used in the production and relationship with the architectural space of the workshops are explained. A comparative study of the soap workshops located around Nizip is undertaken and some suggestions on the preservation of a few surviving soap workshops are provided.

摘要 随着现代制皂技术的发展，传统的制皂方式开始消失。过去，在生产橄榄油的地区建造了肥皂作坊 sabunhane。在土耳其，在有肥皂生产的定居点有许多大小不一的肥皂作坊。到目前为止，还没有对土耳其的肥皂作坊进行广泛的研究。本研究确定并记录了土耳其东南部 Nizip（加济安泰普）及其周边地区的历史肥皂作坊，它们是该地区工业遗产的重要特征。在这些作坊中，更详细地描述了Nizip Sayınlar作坊，它建于19世纪，具有该地区的建筑特色，反映了该时期的技术水平和生产过程。第一的，分析了肥皂车间独特的建筑特征。描述了肥皂生产的重要性及其历史发展，解释了生产中使用的工具和技术以及与车间建筑空间的关系。对位于 Nizip 周围的肥皂作坊进行了比较研究，并提供了一些关于保存一些幸存的肥皂作坊的建议。
