Abstract :
Statement: There have been changes in the architecture of contemporary Syrian buildings adjacent to historic buildings, which poses a threat to the identity of the historic neighborhood. Objective: provide comprehensive guidelines for reconstructing residential buildings damaged in the war so that the contemporary building, while preserving the values of the historic building, can also express the spirit of contemporary architecture.The method: is descriptive-analytical using resources and field observation. After conducting interviews and analyzing data; the indicators have been extracted according to the SWOT method, then the indicators have been weighed according to the AHP method, and points have been presented.Conclusion: The opportunity of Rebuilding residential buildings according to the neighborhood's identity is more than a threat, and strength is more important than weakness at this stage. It also shows apparent advantages in the post-war reconstruction of Homs, which preserves its identity and confirms its spirit without compromising its sense of place.
