| Abstract | ||
| Heritage structures are with unique historical, religious, architectural, aesthetic, and/or scientific importance. Rehabilitating the historic building is equivalent to maintaining it or giving it a new role. Also, using it in a way that matches its character and urban surroundings is equivalent to revitalizing it or giving it a new life. The challenge comes from using the building in a new way that it was not accustomed to, adapted to, or prepared for. Remodeling the space to suit the requirements of the new status may be a part of recruitment. The cost of rehabilitation and restoration is often more than demolition and new construction. So why even think about adaptive reuse. The research discusses the idea of re-use as one of the strategies for preserving the urban heritage. The country is going through economic and cultural problems among the different segments of society, so it must take advantage of this heritage and preserve it and keep pace with architectural development with an environmental thought that works to increase the rate of development and cultural awareness of the society. | ||
