Abstract

Abstract:
The city of Alquds, in its historical, spiritual and humanitarian aspects, is a unique urban site with a unique architectural identity that has been acquired through the city's historical ages. This urban identity was a product of the interaction of the structure of the city in both the behavioral aspects and the patterns of human activities generated by the city throughout history and the spiritual and symbolic meanings associated with the place. Alquds was a unique model of the historical, spiritual and human city. The city is subjected to a series of destructive practices and practices, which have lost the city's distinctive historical, spiritual and human character, and gave it a strange character that reflects the concepts of oppression and domination, resulting in a deterioration of urban heritage.
The research examines the importance of architectural heritage as a defensive cultural fortress on the one hand, and as a means of consolidating the structure of memory of the place and the fluttering of identity on the other hand. The research deals with a number of architectural and architectural models that reflect the procedures aimed at redesigning the Arab architectural heritage and removing it from its cultural symbols , And ends with a set of recommendations to formulate a strategy to address the risk of policies to distort and write off the architectural memory of Alquds
