Abstract
Aims: The construction industry is one of the largest industries in the world and one of the most important economic pillars of a country. Throughout history, problems in this field have led human societies to find new solutions. Among today's problems in this field, we can mention the wastage of materials and energy, very high costs, and failure to complete projects on time, which is especially evident in large government projects.
Methods: In terms of methodology, this research has a qualitative nature in which qualitative methods are used. The main results of the research have been achieved by using the tools of library studies, analyzing the documentaries, and interviews with experts.
Findings: The research findings show that the use of new construction technologies and methods can take an effective step in improving the quality of architectural products. The present research provides a method to upgrade the construction industry by recognizing and extracting quantifiable qualities in architectural product production. For this purpose, the integration of software and hardware technologies is emphasized for industrialization and industrial construction.
Conclusion: The results of the research show that the integration of building information modeling technology and prefabrication is an effective step to optimize large government projects. Reducing the time and cost of construction, it increases the satisfaction of users and increases safety, and finally, it helps to improve the quality of the architectural product. The conclusion of the article emphasizes the role of prefabrication in meeting highperformance architecture and energy-efficient architecture and planning.

Abstract
Objectives: Tehran's modernist architectural heritage, a valuable treasure of the city's rich history and cultural identity, is at risk of destruction due to flawed urban management policies. The neglect of these buildings' intangible value threatens the city's visual authenticity and identity. This research, emphasizing the need for new urban planning and management regulations for the revitalization of contemporary heritage to meet today's societal needs, proposes an innovative approach to restoring these valuable buildings. This approach aims to remove the buildings from their state of neglect while considering specific rights for private owners.
Methods: This study employs a combination of methods, including descriptive-analytical studies, historical research, and logical reasoning. The research hypothesis is established by examining core concepts of architectural preservation through library resources and evaluating successful examples of innovative historical restoration methods worldwide.
Findings: The proposed approach for revitalizing Tehran's modern architectural heritage involves the addition of new structural elements to the existing building fabric. This not only enhances the buildings' resilience against environmental degradation but also creates opportunities for increased building density through the addition of new stories.
Conclusion: The findings indicate adding structural extensions enables the development of new and efficient spaces while preserving the building's authenticity. However, implementing this approach necessitates the development of specific guidelines for designing extensions and adaptive reuses that are compatible with the buildings' historical values. This approach, while preserving the city's identity, provides functional and appealing spaces for contemporary life and significantly contributes to enhancing the quality of life for its citizens.
