Using Digital Sustainability in Conserving the Architecture and Urban Heritage

In recent decade, as the results of frequent wars and internal conflicts, many archaeological and heritage regions of Iraq were subjected to sabotage and looting. Some of these regions were totally destructed. Therefore, searching for mechanisms, means and methods for conserving and reconstructing the heritage is of great importance. This research presents a new proposal that contributes to the conservation of heritage and antiquities virtually through digital sustainability and digitization. This digital conversation in some ways helps in conserving the legacy of the cities that were damaged and destroyed by wars. Additionally, it allows users and those who are interested in heritage in different countries of the world to digitally tour the archaeological city and to see its old features and elements as if they were on the ground of reality. The aim of the research is to “achieve sustainability in preserving heritage and architectural architecture virtually through digital sustainability as it is a reference in the event of the disappearance of heritage buildings in reality”. The research uses auto-cad electronic program, for the purpose of digital documentation of the building. After taking measurements and images using traditional means from measuring tools and the camera, auto-cad used for drawing and then documentation using the calculator. The research has reached a set of conclusions which relate to the interest in heritage and conserving it benefiting from digital sustainability. These cities can be virtual cities with the aim of containing the treatments and heritage elements of the city and buildings.
