dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines the process of transforming a post-industrial building, which can be considered part of industrial heritage, into a Smart Systems Research and Testing Center that meets today's needs. This transformation was designed using a holistic approach that focuses not only on the physical structure but also on the building's relationship with the city, its historical identity, and user experience. The main focus of the thesis is to demonstrate the contribution of light sensors to spatial quality, user comfort, and energy efficiency by balancing natural and artificial lighting within the context of architectural design. Within the scope of the literature review, themes such as adaptive reuse, smart lighting systems, sustainability, spatial experience, and user-centered design were evaluated in a multi-layered manner. The transformation process of the existing structure located in the city of Görlitz was designed with the aim of preserving the historical fabric, ensuring technological integration, and strengthening relationships with the city. The project was designed with consideration given to the strategic transformation policies promoted by the city of Görlitz in the areas of entrepreneurship and cultural production. In the design decisions, the light sensors operate in response to time, user density, and spatial function, supporting not only visual comfort but also an interactive and sustainable user experience. In this context, the project serves as an important example both in terms of integrating technological advancements with an architectural approach and in preserving cultural heritage for future generations. Keywords: Adaptive reuse, smart systems, light sensor, user experience, industrial heritage, energy efficiency
