 Introduction:

Salt is characterized by the richness of its heritage stock and the many civilized periods that the world praises , but the
lack of the optimal use of this stock that contains hundreds of buildings of architectural and civilized value led to the
exposure of many of them to damage and consequently the loss of those buildings to many of its beauty and value that
confirms its beauty Civilized presence and greatness in building the city of Salt.

Moreover, the lack of funding sources and protection methods for these architectural buildings and facilities in addition
to relying on the traditional concept of maintenance and restoration operations, which focuses on the archaeological
building as a stand-alone building without taking into account the surrounding urban environment as an important and
essential factor that has a strong impact on the success of the maintenance process Employment.

Although the heritage buildings are considered treasures and economic resources if they are well exploited, as they
bring great material and moral benefits, unfortunately, huge financial budgets are allocated for the restoration of
monumental buildings, and then they are not employed and therefore these buildings appear once again as a sign of
deterioration. In recent times, there has been increasing interest in re-employing antique buildings of civil and human
value, which are among the most important issues that have attracted the attention of many local bodies and
international organizations.

Al-Ain Square and Al-Hamam Street - Salt

Because of the importance and sensitivity of the city of Salt and its selection as a world heritage city, we
must not lose sight of the importance of the various archaeological and historical buildings. Therefore, we
have approached this trend by choosing to reuse and restore old buildings.

In this report, we will conduct a documentary study of a section of Al Ain Square buildings, specifically Beit
Abu Jaber and the Grand Mosque, and from Hammam Street, Toukan Building, and the Small Mosque. This
is a prelude to re-qualification, as this study includes a historical study of the region, its architectural
description, the building materials used, and the construction condition, as well as the perimeter study of
buildings and planning and design standards used in old buildings, and we will work to reuse the area with
its buildings and develop it as a tourist complex
Civilized and
Architectural Heritage:
 Civilized and Architectural Heritage:

The cultural heritage of a nation : is what represents its people throughout the ages of culture And art that is passed on from
generation to generation by generation: architecture, painting, sculpture, literary arts, and melodies Popular. Collectively, these arts create
the distinctive identity of each people, because they constitute the conscience Civilized and national for him describing the document of
owning land. The heritage of a people consists of nothing but During a continuous life, it is based on a patch of land of historical age, with
specific features that paint it People's' abilities and love for life.

Architectural heritage: is classified as part of the cultural heritage of a specific group of Humans, civilization has arisen with humans and
is part of its mental components. So it knows Velden (Feilden) “Architectural heritage as a demonstration and material expression of
unique human components, because Man is the only being who has the power of abstraction that allows him to think rationally and is the
basis Creativity “

Architectural heritage consists of a few archaeological sites and heritage buildings most available to each Nation, those distinctive sites and
buildings deserve to remain a memory or model of the ancestral effort, as they transcend Its significance, both material and aesthetic, has
other deeper dimensions that live up to the historical documents.This is evident in Broad Bent saying, "Most of the buildings are civilized
symbols of During which a person reads the meanings, adding to them the values, down to the materials that he builds and the location Stand
on it"

Heritage Buildings: They are the buildings that collectively constitute the architectural heritage of a region, and bear historical values
It gained either through its architectural and aesthetic excellence, its long life, or its association with important events that occurred in the
region.These events may be religious, economic, social, and political.
 Architectural rehabilitation, its benefits, stages and levels:
Architectural rehabilitation means : intended to set a number of determinants for returning the building in its image
Existing to perform its old functions or any suitable new job, through reform or development While preserving the building's parts and
elements that bear distinct historical, architectural or cultural values Through the ages that passed on the building since its
establishment. This means creating a new job for the building even It can be used and exploited, and at the same time we guarantee
continuity and maintain it through The presence of residents in which they carry out maintenance work continuously.

Benefits of rehabilitating heritage buildings:

.1Social benefits: People and cities maintain their identity, social bonds, and the same Time keeps up with the times.

.2Cultural benefits: It preserves art, architecture, and relics, and this benefit may be extremely important to you Speaking of conflict
on the ground, each party to the conflict seeks to prove that it is right Refer to historical physical evidence.

.3Economic benefits: Reusing the existing building is more economical than demolishing, rebuilding and the accompanying The costs
include clearing debris, building new health services and facilities, and consuming energy and materials Building..

.4Environmental benefits: Old buildings are more environmentally friendly, as traditional materials were built from them like clay Lime,
stone, and natural construction are natural materials that do not harm the environment nor cause their preparation In pollution, other
than the fact that the interior environment is more suitable for human needs than in buildings Concrete for the structural and
structural elements of the thermal openings, on The opposite of modern buildings lacking all this.
Stages of rehabilitation of heritage buildings:

The building rehabilitation process goes through several main stages The plans and implementation are elegant. These stages are not
separate, but are intertwined and intertwined with Each other - can be summarized as follows:

.1Collecting information from the historical and architectural documents about the building, from history books and records
Governmental, any photos or plans available about the building and its surroundings to know the value of the historic building (Degree of
interference), architecture, and extent to which a building is permitted to change.

.2Evaluate the current construction status of the building with a precise description of the weaknesses in the building materials from
cracks And damage and others.

.3Evaluate the architectural and symbolic condition of the building: strengths, weaknesses, and elements that give to the building
Historical value, stages of construction, additions and missing elements, original building function And other jobs that went through it..

.4Develop the expected rehabilitation scheme, taking into account the local code of the user in the country or any laws And regulations
imposed by the municipality, and review the publications that contain the rules and directives for each case. This plan includes the
important elements that will be preserved, the additions that distort the private building Removed, items to be rebuilt, and interior
redesign, for example, removal of interior partitions has been made Add them inside the rooms, or rebuild an internal staircase that has
been removed and has special significance..etc Missing spaces as needed, for example: bathroom, toilet, maintenance room..

.5Conducting tests and monitoring results before taking any action, and then executing the plan.
Levels of rehabilitation of heritage buildings:

The levels of rehabilitation of historic buildings vary in size of the landmark to be preserved In styles depending on the size and type of
buildings and their importance. They can be classified as follows:

-1Rehabilitation of heritage items: It is usually done through museums to preserve the pieces And the archaeological elements after their
restoration and treatment in a scientific manner that guarantees their survival and safety.

-2Rehabilitation of the one building: for example, the restoration and renovation of the heritage buildings and their transformation into
Museums or tourist attractions.

-3Rehabilitation of a group of buildings: In case there is a group of adjacent heritage buildings It is preserved as a whole group and the
heritage value of the group shows the importance of each unit.

-4Rehabilitation of a heritage corridor: In case there are groups of heritage buildings, they represent a connection between
One area and another on either side of a lane or road.

-5Rehabilitation of a complete heritage area: In the case of an entire area that represents the urban heritage and includes
That heritage buildings and corridors.
 -6Rehabilitation at the regional level: It is planned at the regional or country level It includes previous conservation
levels and integrates with the preservation of other heritage areas or pathways.

-7Rehabilitation at the international level: This includes preserving examples of urban heritage As an example of
human development in general, it is usually the participation of global bodies such as UNESCO.
ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS
Architectural documentation works using AutoCAD technology, 3D Laser scan, 3D Max

1 .2D ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS

(Site plan, plans), Elevations, Sections, Details) For both current condition, and designed suggestion)

These drawings help to present the building layout, typologies and areas which in a later stage can be used in a
rehabilitation plan.
A CAD model can calculate the distance between two points easily and it can also maintain the coordinates at a high
level of accuracy.
2 .2D Modeling:

It is a tool when we are in the field of documentation, such a tool can allow
you to estimate the effect of renovation works before you do it, which in turn
gives you the opportunity to modify the conservation plan.
§As an example here is Falah Al Hamad resident several clues like interviews,
pictures and he status of the wall indicated that there was 2 windows before
opening a door, by using 3d softwares like (3d Max, sketchup, .....). a
researcher can estimate the effect of reinstalling the windows in their previous
condition.
3 .3D LASER SCAN
● In corporation with the Department of antiquities (DoA)
Laser scanning documentation was made for 2 nominated
buildings (Al Jaghbeer building and Mouasher Building)
● The laser scanner is a robotic total station, it is a tool to
obtain data in a short time considering other means
Distance measuring is performed on regular networks
without the need for reflectors.
● The major thing in the operation of this instrument is
based on the two elements of distance and angle.
● The application and capabilities of this modern technique
are continuously developing. Real-time data acquiring in
a real scale, high accuracy, high speed and producing a
large amount of points are among the major capabilities
of laser scanners. The acquired point cloud can be used
for different purposes .
- There are three steps in the documentation process with laser scanner:
● Field survey and data acquisition
● Editing and data processing, including eliminating redundant data and noises, transferring the information into a
coordinate system, integration of the point clouds, integration of the scanned data with images
● Production of final output including measurements, sections, texture and 2D drawings, Solid 3D model
As Salt City
Old As-salt city - As salt city has a significance of a traditional architectural
style and an amphitheater of building's clusters where the buildings, spreads
in two values that is located between 3 mountains which are: al Qala'a,
Jada'a, and al Salalem and competes the enclosure a small hill of Al Jadour
The dense urban fabric of as salt city makes the city unique from any other
city with its yellow limestone buildings that go along the contour line, the
buildings, mainly go back to the late 18th century to the early 19th century
"The Golden Era" in which the architectural style developed from the basic
vernacular architecture to modernity which overlapped the previous layers
and gave us a beautiful urban fabric

 Type of traditional construction techniques that are used
.1An overview of traditional architecture in Jordan
The importance of the traditional architecture comes from the way of building; which makes serious use of the familiar
symbolic forms of a culture of a people in a place. It considers the styles that were popular to a region or area. The
characteristics of traditional architecture were used by architects and builders includes a commitment to maintaining a link
to the past styles of building, reuse of materials or designing homes and building to stay consistent with the overall building
design of the area. This creates a sense of continuity and connection to the past, which helps the area, maintains its
traditional look and feel for the residents of the community (Brunskill, .)) .)1981

The traditional architecture is considered as a non-regular environment; because it was not subject to pre-prepared urban
plans, but was developed by residents according to their environments, needs and circumstances (Khammash, )) .)1986

However, it is not appropriate to describe the traditional architecture with absolute spontaneity; because it was gained over
time through practical experiences. The houses were built, and the materials were chosen, according to the nature of the
place and the local conditions. Therefore, the experiments and environmental lessons throughout history were the main
factors in the production of human assemblies. (Alsubeh, )) .)2013

Vernacular architecture is a term used to classify construction methods that use the available resources. Vernacular
architecture tends to evolve over time to reflect the environmental, cultural conditions and historical context in which it was
found. It has often been rejected as raw and unrefined, but it has supporters calling it important in the current design. The
term “vernacular architecture,” in general, refers to a building that is called by non-professional people, that is, without the
intervention of architects. It is used in traditional methods of ways. The current architectural practices that are a matter of
debate regarding the energy crisis.
The concept of vernacular architecture is not revolutionary. However, although it may sound like a serious
expression, that means many of the names it uses are associated with it, such as: primitive architecture, automatic
architecture, indigenous architecture, anonymous architecture, folk, folk, rural, or traditional architecture,
architecture without Architects, or architecture without proportions. (Vernacular architecture)

The traditional architecture is considered as a non-regular environment; because it was not subject to pre-prepared
urban plans, but was developed by residents according to their environments, needs and circumstances .
(Khammash, )) .)1986

However, it is not appropriate to describe the traditional architecture with absolute spontaneity; because it was
gained over time through practical experiences. The houses were built, and the materials were chosen, according
to the nature of the place and the local conditions. Therefore, the experiments and environmental lessons
throughout history were the main factors in the production of human assemblies (Alsubeh, )) .)2013
 .2The Elements of design in the Traditional Architecture
As the traditional architecture based on local needs, construction materials and reflecting local traditions; it has
various forms based on its location. Consequently, the design elements are varying from one site to another.
One of the most vital design elements that were used in the traditional residential houses in the village of Jordan
is the yard which was called Housh, there are two types of Housh; the first one placed in the front of the house,
used for daily activities and to store the tools. (Figure 1) The other type is a common place for the whole houses;
it intermediates the houses. Mostly, they were called by the family name; as the houses were occupied by the
members from the same family . (Khammash, )) .)1986

Al-Mastabeh is another essential part of the traditional house in the village, (Figure 2) which is higher than the
level of the Housh, and it was used as a sleeping area at night and a living space at the day (Shawash, 2003),
(Khammash, )) .)1986

( Figure 1) Housh source (researcher) (Figure 2) Al-Mastabeh source (researcher

Further significant elements are; Al-Rawyeh and Al-Qwarah that were used for storing the grains; since the
dwellers worked with cultivation. Al-Rawyeh is found in the big traditional houses in the village (Figure 3); it was
constructed from the mud, between two structural stone arcs, and it was used as a storage space for the grains.
It was filled from the upper parts and the occupants can get the grains from an opening in the lower part. Above
Al-Rawyeh was used to set up the blankets. (Alsubeh, )) .)2013

Also, Al-Qwarah was used as a storage place for the grains in the village houses. But, it is taller than Al-Rawyeh;
it was built form mud and it was placed along the wall between the stone arcs and fill from opining in the roof
(Khammash, 1986). Another design elements as Al-Qantarah, where it appeared in both the village and the city.
Al-Qantarah is a structural element that supported the mud roof (Figure 4). Stone was the main building material
that was used to construct Al-Qantarah ( (Khammash, (1986). ) (Rjoub, (2016)) (Mcquitty, ) ).)2007

( Figure 3) Al-Rawyeh source (researcher) (Figure 4) Al-Qantarah source (researcher )

.3Residential building development in Jordan
Based on the way of life in Jordan, there are two main situations: nomadic herders (Bedouins) and settled farmers
(peasants). Affiliation was established on the basis of the concept of tribalism. Therefore, villages consisted mostly
of one or two clans. The Bedouins comprised most of the population. They relied on their lifestyle to move from one
place to another in search of water and pasture for their sheep. Their homes were simple, easy to transport and
carry. They relied on tents made of sheep wool.

·The Ottomans period

They tried to resettle the Bedouin tribes to protect the pilgrimage route. This has been the emergence of agricultural
and pastoral villages in Jordan since 1880 (Sharewire, 2002). Regional Ottoman officials sought to produce a
network of villages to the east and south of Salt, close to the regular water supply and fertile Balqa lands (Rajoub,
2012). The vital project in the Ottoman era was the Hejaz railway, and it was the main driver for the construction of
architectural buildings in Jordan. Begins to build a fortress, such as feeling and qatraneh, to protect the pilgrims.
Moreover, train stations such as Amman and Mafraq (Daher, 1999; Khafaga, .)2011

Salt was the most important city in Jordan at that time. Then the administrative center moved from Salt to Amman. It
is inhabited by three to five thousand people.

·Later, the biggest event is the "Nakba": Palestinian immigration in 1948 and the second
immigration in .1967
.3Traditional Residential Building classification
The concept of traditional architecture connected to the ideas of architectural pattern with its two dimensions; time and site.
Therefore, the traditional residential buildings in Jordan could be classified into several types depending on the time of appear.

·Village Architecture: This type includes the residential buildings that appeared before 1866, it was called the Fallahi
house, and consisted of one floor only. The front yard (Hosh), was used as vital part, where the daily activities happened.
The structural system was based on stone arcs (Qantarah), which carry the wooden roof and cover by mud that mixed
with straw. This type was mostly, without openings except the entrance. The main building material was the irregular
stone as it is from the site; it was used at the walls and the arc stone (Rjoub, 2016). (Rjoub, )))2016

Other type emerged base on this type is Al-Mastabeh House, which means the platform house; as it consists of two levels
are; the lower level that connected to the main entrance, and has the main facilities. And the upper level, which rise
20cm-70cm from the lower level, and contains the living area, which transform into a sleeping area at night

· Urban buildings: This type includes the residential buildings that appeared between 1866 and 1890. It outfits
with the urban life and consists of two floors; the first floor contains shops and the upper floor has the living and
bedroom. There was an external stair to reach the upper roof (Aljawder, 2014). This type of building adapted the
courtyard system on the first floor; which was a climate treatment suitable for winter cold and summer heat. It also
provides privacy to the occupants; since the rooms were oriented towered the inner courtyard, this eliminates the outside
openings. The Mashrabieyah was used in the upper floor of the external elevation.; It covers with a timber “lattice
screen”, Consequently, female in the house can look outside without being seen from the outside (Almurahhe, (2008).)
(Aljawder, )).)2014
Courtyard house style appeared in Jordan, especially in As-salt and Jerash; as an influence of the Syrian and
Palestinian builders, this affect the building material too. The main building material was the regular form of
stone due to the immigration of the stone cutter from the surrounding countries, such as Nablus from
Palestine to settle in Jordan. They used the cross-vault system as a structural system in this type.

·The residential building that appeared in 1890-1918: In this period, the form of the house was changed;
due to the change in the family structure; from the extended family to the nucleus family. Consequently, the
people started to use a new form called the Central Hall House instead of the courtyard house
(Alsubeh,2013). In the Central Hall House, there were several rooms distributed around the central covered
hall instead of the courtyard. This type has several characteristics are; The floors at this type up to three
levels, the building materials were imported from the abroad, the existence of the architectural details on the
elevations and the openings became wider; due to the influence of the western culture. The facilities as the
bathroom and kitchen became part of the plan, in the previous residential types; they were separated from the
main plan, sometimes the bathroom located outside the house; as in the village house (Rjoub, 2012). Three-
bay houses, is one of the buildings that appear at this period due to the commercial relations with the
Lebanese traders from Beirut (Williamson, )) .)1998

·The residential building that appeared in 1918-1935; they were mixed of the eastern and western
influences, with new techniques; as the use of the concrete as a building material. The people used the iron
beams; mostly they were cut from the train railroad that was built in the Ottoman period (Figure 8). The roof
at this type became flat due to the use of reinforced concrete as the main building material . (Williamson,
(1998). ) (Alsubeh, )) .)2013
 ·The residential building that appeared in 1936-1950; it could be modern and international
architecture. It‟s a concrete building, whatever the cladding material; stone, glass and steel.

·Another type of houses is the Circassians houses; they bring a tradition of woodworking. The
structural system in their house based on post and lintel of timbers. The beams rest on a square wooden
buttress in the central of the room. The external walls were constructed of two layers of mud-brick. The
porch is the main part of the Circassians house; it displays the building systems and the woodworking
skills. Moreover, it defines the front entrance of the house (Alsubeh,2013), (Khammash, 1986). A
fireplace is another important part that comes with the Circassians, they used them in their house not
out of need as much as out of custom. (Khammash, )) .)1986

 Hamam Street- Al-Salt
It is a traditional course located in the center of Al-Salt city in Al-Balqa Governorate. Al-Hamam Street extends
approximately 280 meters inside the old town. It was created at the end of the nineteenth century, and it was named after
a Turkish bath in the late 1930's. Al-Hamam Street is characterized by the presence of shops on the ground floors and
]1
apartments on the upper floors.

The street reflects the architectural style of buildings, the time period in which the street was founded, which dates back
to the period between 1881 - 1918. As for the construction system in that period, it is distinguished by the presence of
contracts, arches and thick walls that sometimes reach meters, and windows with pointed and convex arches. The
buildings were constructed of the distinctive yellow stone of the buildings in the city of Salt. The second floor is usually
characterized in all the buildings of the street, with a large number of openings overlooking the street directly. The
openings include two or three windows.

It is noteworthy that the Salt municipality started paving the floor of the market with the rounded white stone as of 1923.
Today it is part of the Salt Heritage Path that was created in .2010
And the street still maintains its distinctive traditional heritage character until now in its restored and unrestored parts,
where the shops open on the street directly through one gate for each store and the goods are presented in a traditional
way on the front facing the street, the street narrows and widens with continuity of the upper facades of the buildings to
form views and views Distinctive and different along the street.
Studies on Al-Hamam Street

This study, which was conducted between the years 1990-1989 and in cooperation with the Planning and
Planning Department in the Municipality of Salt, was a reference for all studies that followed, in order to
establish the urban archive of the city. 657 buildings of heritage value were monitored within the
proposed lists, where the evaluation of the buildings was detailed and included an evaluation of the
buildings of the proposed implementation area, while the evaluation was carried out from the outside
only to the rest of the buildings outside the implementation area. The survey covered all buildings built of
yellowstone in various neighborhoods of the city, such as the stump, castle, stairs and Kurds, which date
back to before the 1950's, based on an analysis of the prevailing building patterns in different periods.
Buildings that were built a year ago, and specifically 1950, buildings were considered to have a heritage
value, specifically those that were built between the years 1950-1866, because of the changing style and
materials of construction after this period.
Hammam Street Buildings & Uses:

This group of buildings stretches along Hammam Street and its boundaries corresponds to the backside of the buildings
facing the street. On the East end the Small Mosque’s southern façade overlooks Said Al Salibi Street; on the West end
its boundary is delimitated by the main square

Architectural Style:
There are two main building styles in the city of As-Salt:
- Traditional-style buildings occupy most of the city. These are, primarily, the households constructed 50 or more years ago.
The look-and-feel of the buildings bears resemblance to those of the early Ottoman Empire.
- Distinctive features include the use of the arched window, balconies, detailed embellished facades and soft earthy color
tones. Buildings also tend to be low-rise (comprising only of one or two stories), thus preserving As-Salt’s mountainous
landscape.
- Contemporary-style buildings tend to be constructed more Recently [less than 50 years ago.]
- Distinctive features include clean boxlike shaped buildings and larger rectangular windows. These buildings tend to be
taller than their predecessors [often four stories or more], and so create an uneven city skyline. (Omran, November )2008
Rehabilitation of Al-Hamam Street
- 1990The project of restoring the traditional façades in Al-Hamam Street, where the
project was funded through USAID, where the direct start of the project was to
rehabilitate the small mosque, which is the first witness to initiate the restoration
projects.
It was followed in 1991 by the project to restore the Touqan building on Al-Midan
Street, which was operated as an antiquities museum in the city through the office of
Miller and Bushnaq and under the direct supervision of Dr. Talib Al-Rifai. Where the
Emaar Salt Foundation was the primary umbrella for civil society organizations that
sponsored the implementation of restoration projects for heritage buildings in the city
