摘要:Reviving neglected existing urban fabrics is one of the main frame-work for our future. A contemporary theory of conservation regarding architectural intervention and buildings subsequent re-use, has been developed to address a growing number of tired and neglected buildings. Rehabilitation is required for buildings that are no longer fit to purpose and struggling to adapt a new use. The Spatial Openness Index , is a visibility analysis model defined as the volume of the visible part of a surrounding sphere: the potential of a view and exposure that can indicate on the Perceived Density . Using visibility analyses models and tools, regarding internal space layout, in reinterpreting the functional use of existing buildings would contribute to future refurbishment and reviving urban fabrics. In this paper, a study of the relation between internal space layout and functionality and external visual analysis is suggested. The study is demonstrated on a neglected Haifa neighborhood
