ABSTRACT
As time passes, the heritage buildings need rehabilitation to meet the needs of
current and future generations, while respecting its heritage value. Due to the physical,
functional and/ or economic reasons, heritage buildings require architectural additions
while adapting them to the contemporary conditions. For this reason, that the research
seeks to establish a framework for using new additions to heritage buildings, therefore
these additions should be compatible for achieving a harmony with use, construction,
appearance of the original building. To achieve our aim, the study divided into two
parts, the principles and considerations of conservation for heritage buildings in
addition to design strategies for architectural additions and their types in terms of use,
construction and appearance have been included in a theoretical study. Following the
theoretical an analytical inductive approach has been adopted to analyze the levels of
the new additions to heritage building by examining the selected examples that linking
different addition types of mass transformation. Same examples have been analytically
measured by the opinion of audiences through filling a survey to show the acceptance
ratios according to the levels of addition to the original building.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Problem
The liable issue seems to be the search for employing the new additions to
heritage building, as how these additions can be compatible to match the heritage
building use, original construction, appearance after addition? As shown in Fig.1.

1.2 Objectives
This research aims to establish a framework for using new additions to heritage
buildings, therefore these additions should be compatible for achieving a harmony
with use, construction, appearance of the original building. The purpose of this
framework is to promote a better understanding of the design issues, the different
possibilities of additions to heritage building and to assist architects design additions
that will complement rather than compromise the heritage value of the original
building. In addition, to examine the success of the selected additions according to use,
construction, appearance to the original building.

Brookner and Stone developed three strategies of building reuse based on the
extent of integration between the host building and the new elements of addition.
These strategies are intervention, insertion, and installation While Bollack divides
adaptive reuse projects design into five strategies which are: wraps, weavings,
juxtapositions, parasites, and insertions [9-10]. Table 1 shows the strategies
definitions.

A FRAMEWORK FOR NEW ARCHITECTURAL …
In this part of study, the vocabulary of architectural addition and its relation to
the heritage building are studied in terms of use, construction and appearance.
The new additions in this level to the original building have three possibilities:
1) The same original use; 2) New use is compatible with its original use; and 3) New
use differentiating with the original use of the building heritage [12, 9].
In this level, new additions can be classified according to: 1) Elements and size
of the additions “treatments, transparent membrane, structures to cover courtyard,
lightweight structures, adding-new volumes, mezzanines and floors-to the existing
building, adding new separate building”; 2) Adding new materials should appropriate
structural integrity and choice of materials should revitalize and enrich the existing
building, these materials like “stone, brick, wood, concrete, steel, glass, etc.”; 3)
Constructions works: Structural system, finishes, electrical, lighting, plumbing,
mechanical, heating and cooling fighting fire system, Security [13, 9].
The Addition impact includes three main aspects as the following: 1) Different
types in the location of the new addition to the original building “exterior- on top of
original building, interior- in plans, courtyard surrounding of the original building,
underground the original building”; 2) Analysis for the vocabularies of addition (plan
shape-geometric, irregular or freeform; Façade-material color and texture, realistic
aesthetics, natural aesthetics “proportionality, diversity, etc.”, engineering aesthetics
“organization, rhythm, etc.”, high-tech values “luxury, height, etc.”, the values of
deconstructive beauty “non-linearity, complexity & chose, surprise” [7, 14-16].

O. A. SOLIMAN, AND M. M. AGGOUR
The selected case studies have been classified in terms of the transformation of
form by types of addition, that defined from the visual aspects by Ching [17], then
measuring the acceptance of audiences for these new additions to the original building.
The case studies have been selected according to the criteria defined the variety of
levels of new additions to the heritage building, either design strategies for use specific
new additions, diversity between international and local examples, new additions are
contemporary examples. This study has adopted a questionnaire using visual images
for selected case studies, it has been delivered by social media networks and direct
interviews. The questionnaire was directed to a variety of participants (110), The
participants’ ratio is in the field of architecture 13%, In the field of architectural
academic 52%, students in architectural department 4%, others 31%, the following
Tables 2-6, show the analysis of the selected case studies. Each table includes building
images that associated with a specific transformation type where additions serving the
different use of the buildings. Also, it defines data about studied building like (a type
of use, country, construction date, the designer name). While Tables 7-9 compare
between items of each level according to an outcome of the theoretical study, also the
ratio of acceptance of the addition in each level for all case studies in this research
which will be evaluated later in this study. The remaining of the questionnaire data
reported in the form of graphs to study the results and relations between the case
studies to reach the findings as in Figs. 3, 4.
This part of the study shows the analysis of the selected case studies classified
according to using addition by intertwined volumes as in Tables 2, 3, Using addition
by surface to surface as in Table 4, Using addition by no contact (spatial tension) as in
Table 5 and finally using addition some of the architectural vocabularies and its effects
as in Table 6.
