| Abstract | ||
| The technique of reconstruction for the demolished parts of heritage buildings is considered as one of the most important issues in the field of preservation. The technique of reconstruction concerns either with the collapsed or destroyed parts of the building or with missed ones in times not far away. Generally, the reconstruction process is the reassembling of the heritage building parts and reconfiguration thereof, wholly or partially, for the purpose of restoration of the original shape of the building. The technique of the reconstruction process is mostly associated with the disasters which may occur to the heritage buildings and cause the destruction thereof, wholly or partially, such as the earthquakes, floods, fires and wars. Such process shall be carried out depending on intensive studies and accurate documents of the building shape and details. The research discusses the technique of reconstruction in the preservation of the heritage buildings, through an analytical descriptive presentation to practical models clarifying the research idea and explanation thereof. The research had discussed several points, the most important ones thereof being the values and standards distinguishing the heritage buildings and the different techniques for preservation of such buildings, and then the research touched on the nature and patterns of the operations for reconstruction of the heritage buildings and the rules and determinants governing them, in addition to, the different trends thereof, by taking practical examples illustrating the techniques of the patterns of the operations for reconstruction of the heritage buildings This research is concluded by presenting the most important results achieved which are summed up in that the process for reconstruction of the demolished or collapsed heritage and historical buildings represent the only available means to be resorted to, due to, the collapse of parts of the building in a manner that lets no other option exists there, and it is the optimum technique which ensures continuity of the heritage buildings survival in the architectural and technical details thereof. The reconstruction process must be conducted depending on specialized studies and accurate documents showing the building shape and its different details whenever possible. | ||
