Abstract

due to modern technologies, industrial heritage buildings is going to be demolishing by investors because it`s function become non-existent and it have no longer uses at the present time. and Due to the distinctive identity and values of industrial history sites, that areas required adaptive reuse Instead of redevelopment or demolition, but unfortunately during the period of adaptive reuse some of these buildings face a problem of non-continuity due to not choosing the suitable & optimal new function of those buildings .so This paper focuses on reaching the architecture factors affects the selection of new function of industrial building during the adaptive reuse as a result of this paper. This paper will mention results through literature review of linking the Architecture Attributes & values of industrial heritage buildings during adaptive reuse with focusing on attributes of the industrial building its self & its location, with the options of functions in Adaptive reuse of industrial heritage buildings (new function).this for mentioning and discussing the architecture factors affects the selection of new function of industrial building during the adaptive reuse. Finally, mentioning and discussing those factors as the result of this paper, will help in selecting the optimal new function that will contribute positively in expanding the life of industrial heritage buildings in adaptive reuse, and reaching this, has positive effects that will help lowering energy consumption, pollutions, and material costs.
