Dialogue in coexistent formation in the temporal and spatial dimensions / existing hospitals, an applied case

Architecture is one of the types of arts through which it is possible to know and read the history of people and the extent of their development and keep up with the progress that had been achieved in various sciences and technology, in addition it is a reflection of the nature of society, its ideas and its identity resulting from the nature of the architectural formation itself, in other words, it oscillates among the factors of time and the factors of place. This oscillation may generate a set of indicators for the existing production in the case of a desire to make expansions and additions, as it in the type of local hospitals buildings, especially if the concept of flexibility is not taken into account in the initial design of that type of buildings. Therefore, the research aims to discuss and clarification the effect of the addition on the original composition and revealing mechanisms of achieving coexistence within the factors of time and place in order to reach a dialogue between the host and the cohabitant of existing local hospitals buildings by building a theoretical framework and applying it to selected local samples to reach conclusions.
