On Monday, March 18, 2024, the master’s thesis by researcher Hoda Abdel Latif Hamoudi, entitled “Coexistence in
Architecture: A Specialized Study of the Mechanisms of Technological Coexistence in Existing Hospitals,” was
discussed. The thesis aimed to reveal knowledge about the concept of coexistence in general and mechanisms
applied in architecture at the design level and its impact on the different levels in terms of blocks and facades and
the connection between the old and the new when added through the principle of symbiotic coexistence and its
applications in contemporary architecture. The thesis concluded that coexistence is a strategy for preserving
existing buildings, especially buildings of moral and economic value, in a way that serves the needs of human life,
the development of the technological aspect, and the relationship of structural formations over time, and that the
product formed from coexistence has distinctive and new features through the relative variation in the elements
of the facades or Materials used to create a distinction between old and new.
The discussion committee consisted of distinguished ladies and gentlemen:
Professor Dr. Ibrahim Jawad Kazem ...... Chairman
Assistant Professor Dr. Sajida Kazem Aliwi....... Member
Assistant Professor Dr. Enas Salem Abdel-Ahad......Member
