| Abstract | ||
| This study investigates the integration of heritage conservation and sustainability principles especially in the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, focusing on the Tarabish Factory in Fowah, Egypt. It explores how heritage preservation and sustainable development can be effectively combined to revitalize this historically significant building. The findings reveal substantial gaps in the application of sustainable conservation principles at the Tarabish Factory. Despite the building’s retained cultural, historical, and architectural values, there is an urgent need for a comprehensive strategy to address these deficiencies. The research includes exploring sustainable heritage conservation principles and then applying them to the Tarabish factory building to discover how this building meets the heritage conservation principles which reached 31.25%, thus providing a proposal for the adaptive reuse of the building, and evaluating the proposal according to the established principles which reached 81.25% It concludes with practical recommendations for applying adaptive reuse strategies to other heritage sites, contributing to the broader dialogue on sustainable heritage management in Egypt and the wider Middle East | ||
