The 3rd International Conference on “Conservation of Architectural Heritage (CAH)” was held from on 19th to 22nd of February 2019 in association with Faculty of Engineering at Shoubra - Benha Unversity. The conference included many discussions, covered extremely important topics, and presented new scientific values in the scope of conserving the architectural heritage. For the third time, it was a very successful conference that cannot be forgotten.
The international conference was held in Aswan, Egypt, specifically at The Nubian Museum, which is considered to be a gateway to the history of Nubia and one of the most attractive touristic sites in Aswan.

On the 50th anniversary of the saving Abu Simbel Temples, we are pleased to invite scholars, researchers, professors, students and readers to The International Conference on Conservation of Architectural Heritage: Regeneration and Management to be held in Aswan, Egypt from the 19th to the 20th of February 2019.
For centuries architecture has been a witness of some of the greatest civilizations this world has ever seen. In the form of buildings, towers, statues, and monuments, architecture has delivered historical information from one generation to another. Consequently, the conservation of architectural heritage is, in fact, the process of conserving the existence of humans themselves and their identities, culture, and traditions to future generations as a guide for their architectural endeavors.
Conserving architectural heritage is not only important on an academic or touristic basis, it also provides a sense of continuity in the fast-changing world we currently live. Heritage shapes the identity of many future generations to come and ensures that in one way or another, they will be connected to the lives, traditions, and culture of their ancestors. Conserving architecture is also an important tool in city development as it plays a vital role in generating revenues in the tourism industry.
In spite of their resilient properties, heritage buildings are subject to degradation over time which poses a threat of losing iconic touristic sites. These buildings are also often regarded as educational platforms to learn architectural techniques that were developed long before the creation of modern-day architecture. It is for that reason that conferences similar to this one are important to discuss various ways to preserve and conserve our history that is manifested in the form of buildings.
The main focus of the conference will be on the latest research in cultural heritage protection and the different technological developments and methodologies for historic sites.
The conference aims to be a platform to demonstrate the different strategies and best practices across the world for conserving and protecting the world’s architectural heritage.
The conference will include prominent keynote speakers from academia and practice to maximize opportunities for knowledge exchange.
The conference will also provide a unique opportunity for researchers, archaeologists, restorers, urban designers, and professionals to meet and share the latest advancements in the field of conserving architectural heritage within the last 50 years.
