Abstract

Urban heritage is a vital repository of cultures and is often protected through various methods. Postmodern architecture emerged as a response to modern architecture, aiming to return to nostalgia. It has varied in its approach to heritage and differs from place to place, resulting in a diversity of its products. This paper aims to use postmodern architectural methods to revive heritage and local architecture in Mosul, linking new additions to the old city's history and heritage. The research employed a quantitative method, with a semi-structured questionnaire on proposed designs inspired by postmodern architectural trends. The results showed that many postmodern architectural trends offer varying degrees of opportunity to preserve the spirit of the city's heritage and history. The principal trends of the postmodern movement, such as neo-realism, Neoclassicism, and neo-rationalism, have the potential to provide innovative modern designs that reflect the spirit of history and preserve the Islamic architectural heritage of the city in varying ‎ratios that can be further developed. Future studies could investigate the potential of presenting designs that reflect the architectural characteristics of historic buildings to yield more comprehensive, generalizable results.
