Abstract
You have Cairo is an important architectural treasure, both quantitatively and qualitatively, and represents the material aspect of its cultural production. The facades of its buildings are the first element of contact with the external environment and have an important role in revealing the identity of the old city. One of the main features of the downtown area is that it was planned in the style of Paris, and indeed it was Khedivial Cairo The streets of the city converge in a large square called Ismailia Square, which later became Tahrir Square, which has preserved the city’s structure since ancient times, as sustainable development has become a goal for all countries seeking to achieve a balance between social, environmental and economic needs. The vision for a sustainable built future is to develop creative designs that use energy and smart materials efficiently and effectively. However, this vision must take into account old buildings that were built years ago. Although many of these buildings are in a stable condition, they are outdated and their values are not fully utilized. In order to activate and activate the sustainable values of these buildings, adaptive reuse has been adopted as a process of modifying and adapting the use of old buildings with their existing structures to extend their life cycle while performing a new function for those buildings. This is specifically done when the building has a unique architectural character or is in a distinctive location and in a stable condition.
