Abstract

Rehabilitation of the architectural heritages refers to the intervention of the structures that are implemented on historical and heritage structure in order to preserve their existing elements and utilize their spaces in a way that protects their historical and cultural values and convey them. In this article, Red Saraya/ Tripoli Castle in Tripoli is selected as case study in order to propose rehabilitation strategies for the historical buildings which suffered with damages. In the literature review, the current rehabilitation strategies and techniques are discussed. In the case study, the dangers and risks facing the rehabilitation plan are reviewed from different perspectives. In the conclusion, rehabilitation strategies for the Red Saraya / Tripoli Castle are discussed with five main objectives to preserve the structures; achieve a historical landmark, attract tourism, attract financial income, study and define the archeological eras that formed the existing structures.
