Abstract

This paper discusses the application of traditional architectural restoration techniques, dynamic maintenance of the spatial texture of historical streets and alleys, the construction of a digital monitoring system for building facades, and spatial transformation strategies for the continuity of residential functions. Through the integration of traditional construction techniques with modern technologies, such as dynamic monitoring, evaluative tools, and digital management systems, this approach seeks to sustain the landscape memory and preserve the historical and cultural continuum of ancient cities, while simultaneously balancing the conservation of heritage architecture with the functional demands of contemporary urban life.
