Abstract
Architecture reflects culture of society through traditions and value, So Buildings specially Iconic Buildings connect people with its region “ Iconic Buildings tell us where we are “, The world seven wonders became Icons due to the value and the meanings they carry and also for their individual form , “ Icons may not were built to be Icons but it remains in people’s memory “ In spite of the great value of Iconic buildings they suffer structure deterioration and negligence that represent the research goals adding to some cities compete in building mega structures as iconic buildings and using examples that don’t express the
culture and heritage of the place.
