Keywords:
Historical architectural elements; architectural integration; authenticity; structural compatibility; aesthetic harmony; adaptive reuse; BIM-Heritage; cultural heritage preservation.Abstract
This article presents a systematic scientific analysis of the key factors that should be considered in the process of integrating historical architectural elements into contemporary architectural objects. The aim of the study is to preserve historical heritage and enhance its positive impact on architectural quality, as well as to develop comprehensive integration approaches by ensuring modern functionality, structural stability, and aesthetic harmony. The research methodology includes the analysis of successful integration projects worldwide using the case-study method, comparison of architectural and structural compatibility, expert interviews, and the use of digital heritage technologies (3D scanning, BIM-Heritage). The results identified the main factors of historical elements, such as the level of authenticity, structural and functional compatibility, aesthetic harmony, cultural identity, technological integration, and ecological sustainability. The study demonstrates that by systematically considering these factors, it is possible to successfully integrate historical heritage into modern buildings and significantly improve architectural quality. The findings of the article can be practically applied in the design of new projects and the reconstruction of existing structures.
