The construction of iron and steel industry in Karabük was one of the important turning points in labour history of Early Republican Turkey and it represents a series of social, urban, architectural and spatial experiences to be examined within the context of gender. Drawing from the concepts of “total institution” this article aims to analyse the single male worker dormitories in Karabük which was constructed as a practice of gender-specific spatial segregation and it also tries to problematize and explicate the social and cultural dynamics of this multi-layered and complex process of spatialisation of the labour force.
