| Summary: | Reviving neglected existing urban fabrics is one of the main frame-work for our future. A contemporary theory of conservation
regarding architectural intervention and buildings subsequent re-use, has been developed to address a growing number of tired and
neglected buildings. Rehabilitation is required for buildings that are no longer fit to purpose and struggling to adapt a new use. The
<i>Spatial Openness Index</i>, is a visibility analysis model defined as the volume of the visible part of a surrounding sphere: the potential
of a view and exposure that can indicate on the <i>Perceived Density</i>. Using visibility analyses models and tools, regarding internal
space layout, in reinterpreting the functional use of existing buildings would contribute to future refurbishment and reviving urban
fabrics. In this paper, a study of the relation between internal space layout and functionality and external visual analysis is suggested.
The study is demonstrated on a neglected Haifa neighborhood. |
