Abstract: Heritage structures, rich in cultural and historical significance, represent the pinnacle of ancient construction practices, craftsmanship, and material utilization. These structures have stood the test of time, embodying the architectural heritage of past civilizations. In contrast, modern construction practices emphasize efficiency, sustainability, and advanced technology. This paper undertakes a comparative study between heritage structures and modern construction practices by analyzing the materials, construction techniques, design philosophies, sustainability considerations, and challenges associated with each approach. Through this examination, the paper aims to shed light on how contemporary construction can learn from the past while embracing technological advancements for future developments.
