Abstract
Historical buildings are considered as a heritage that needs different restoration methods and techniques to support building from cracking or collapsing and returning it to its original image both in detail and location. The research suggests employing a technique “Hybrid Re-assemblage" in the local reality, depending on combining two integrate digital fabrication with traditional crafts. Thus, the research problem was Determined as “the need to investigate the role of Hybrid Re-assemblage technique in the restoration of local historical buildings”.
The aim was to identify practical procedures for the Hybrid Re-assemblage technique in the restoration and craftsmanship of local historical buildings through its creative dimensions. This needs a quantitative methodology based on building a theoretical framework, and applying the techniques on the historic building - Iwan (Taq) Kisra was chosen as a case study. The procedures combining two creative processes that rarely interfere, by first: building damaged or destroyed handcrafted models, second: making a 3D scan with a CAD program, third: building and digitally printing a model that can be used to reconstruct this product. The research concluded that such techniques can contribute to improving the restoration process, documenting important buildings, and creating completely identical pieces, with the possibility of linking them to the original building in its own shape and history without the need for major change. Furthermore. It allows the restorer, designers, craftsmen, and artists create works that preserve important features of the craft as well as impart new aesthetic values.

Key words: historical buildings, restoration, digital techniques, Hybrid Re-assemble, Hybrid restoration.
