“…Material analysis is an important step in the documentation process to determine whether new paints have been introduced. [20] The idea of documenting the building's concept is that every 1 millimeter in the building, the dimensions of the space are raised and documented, so if any part is lost, it can be restored to its original condition.…”

Heritage structures play an important role in a nation's history and culture, as well as symbolizing its wealth. It is critical for future generations to know how humans lived in the past ages to increase life. The restoration process includes the examination, diagnosis, and correction of any structure's deficiencies and deterioration. In addition, it identifies common flaws and problems in legacy structures and innovates a methodical approach to dealing with them. The research problem is the emergence of challenges for designers and architects in the documentation and restoration of historical buildings, methods, and techniques. These include preserving heritage buildings while respecting the basic materials that comprise the building to preserve its authenticity and history. The primary focus of the research is the creation of documentation and the restoration of historical buildings that have been damaged. The study demonstrates that prior studies of documentation theories and concepts were followed through a study of the analytical descriptive approach to documenting and restoring the aspects of damage to the historic Alexandria Atelier building (Timfako Palace). The importance of research arises from the preservation of historic structures and the transmission of internal heritage, as well as cultural values, to future generations. The study searches for conservation, restoration, and documentation theories and concepts. Therefore, the study aims to document and restore historical buildings while also preserving their originality by restoring them to achieve the original image of the original element. Besides, it aims to "implement the results of conservation, documentation, and restoration strategies through a practical study of the Alexandria Atelier building in Alexandria, Egypt." Finally, the research concluded a set of criteria and strategies for restoring the aspects of damage and deterioration in the Alexandria Atelier Palace while preserving the original through photographic, architectural, and restoration techniques.

Change in Water Technology in Anatolia: From Use to Energy, Conflicts to Climate Action

50 Years World Heritage Convention: Shared Responsibility – Conflict &Amp; Reconciliation

UNESCO World Heritage properties in Anatolia show a great variety in their land use morphologies as a response to their environmental differences, developing different ways of managing water for daily use and agricultural irrigation. History testifies to the many conflicts and wars that occurred in defending and/or accessing these important water resources. The remnants of this infrastructure form part of invaluable cultural heritage and present opportunities for the embodied traditional knowledge to mitigate the impacts of climate change. However, ruthless water regimes (i.e. hydroelectric plants), which disregard the importance of water for communities, have prioritized water as a source of energy over its value for daily and agricultural use and have impacted the environment and climate, which directly affects both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. Dried creeks leave water-related infrastructure and equipment without a purpose and people deprived of water. In the age of Anthropocene, such an approach victimizes people through the idea of taking over nature while at the same time making people the victims of nature’s response. In return, new regional conflicts are instigated, and migration becomes inevitable, diminishing neighbourly peace and also aggravating climate change, causing negative impacts on cultural heritage and jeopardising many of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
