INTRODUCING HERITAGE VOCABULARY INTO CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE TO PRESERVE THE FUTURE OF HERITAGE

Architecture in the past had a clear and specific heritage identity, and this identity reflected the characteristics of the peoples and their cultural, heritage and social backgrounds, but today the identity of Egyptian architecture has faded due to several reasons, including the control of the idea of alienation over architecture, technological development and the needs of the era, which calls for the importance of studying how contemporary architecture meets The needs of the times and do not affect the heritage identity. In return for the domination of the idea of Westernization as a symbol of development and keeping up with the times, an architectural trend appeared in Egypt in the nineties against this materialist thought and called for the necessity of returning to the roots and heritage and linking the contemporary architectural product with the aesthetic, architectural and urban values of the Egyptian heritage, whether it was Pharaonic, Coptic or Islamic.
