Abstract

The architecture heritage abounds with many formation vocabulary and environmental treatments that matches the identity of the place, so it has always been a source of inspiration and creativity for architects, each architect formulates it according to his own vision, either directly reproducing or understanding and eliciting the thought and culture that crystallized this cultural product and reformulated again, The problem was the use of heritage elements and their integration with the developments of the times and the adaptation of those capabilities to produce an architectural product that links authenticity and contemporary, so that it is continuous with heritage and in line with the recent developments and changes that have occurred in human life, which is inseparable from it, This proves the flexibility of those elements as they can be adapted and developed to simulate the development and cultural change in our societies, which helps in the civilizational continuity and access to an architectural product compatible with the customs, traditions and privacy of our societies and has its own character and identity that distinguishes it from others, but in a modern form
