Özet:

The industry has experienced a new revolution. In this revolution defined as Industry 4.0, smart systems have started to be used in production. Thanks to smart production technologies, a new method has been created in which production can continue non-stop, and workers can monitor the entire process remotely with the help of smart robots and machines. Production spaces designed following this technology are defined as smart factories. While machine spaces where unmanned production methods are applied are being designed in the revolution, on the other hand, humans and production are trying to come together again. 

This study first investigates how human and machine cooperation changes space. The technologies that have caused revolutions in production since the first invention of the revolution, the steam engine, and the factories transformed by these technologies have been examined. Then, the first smart factories and production spaces in which smart production was carried out in the last revolution of the industry were analysed. With the help of references from the past of production in the context of human, space, and city, the present and future are discussed, and new concepts and codes are produced. Finally, “Plug-in production” proposal is developed for the factory architecture and production environment.
