Abstract

This thesis explains the contribution of artificial intelligence in heritage restoration as an icon of Andalusian architecture by using the Alhambra as an example. The task of sustaining heritage is increasing dramatically due to the accumulation of heritage assets and the need for modern and innovative operations to cope with preservation tasks. Therefore, this thesis reviews the role of artificial intelligence in improving the restoration operation to improve accuracy and efficiency. I applied the case study as a scientific methodology to explain this work to overcome scientific and subjective obstacles, such as scarce data and software integration while explaining the uses of artificial intelligence in various fields, such as modeling and modifying the structure and attributes of the properties with different operations until it reaches the stage of delivering the boundary building of the restoration operations on the site with focuses on a conclusive use is the restoration itself. The outcomes reveal the superiority of artificial intelligence and emphasize the necessity of blending between technology development and protecting the value of history and authenticity within an environment of sustainable heritage management.
