A section of a city containing buildings, landmarks, and valuable architectural and historical monuments is recognized as a historical fabric and cultural heritage. These areas are often protected and maintained across various countries due to their significant historical and cultural importance, making their preservation and revival vital. During the restoration and renovation of such sites, adhering to principles and standards for cultural heritage conservation is essential to retain their historical identity and culture. This study aims to revisit and assess the influential factors in design within historically significant precincts to safeguard their physical identity. The core hypothesis suggests that the overarching design elements of interstitial interventions, including "identity-symbolic components," "functional elements," "structural features," and "environmental aspects" collectively have a positive impact on preserving the physical identity of historical monuments. By collaborating with experts and conducting an extensive analysis of these factors, this research seeks to highlight the importance of maintaining and strengthening the physical identity of historical fabrics through Infill Architecture approaches. Such discussions could greatly contribute to enhancing the physical identity of historical precincts and provide deeper insights into the factors influencing it. The methodology employed in this study combines descriptive-analytical and survey-based approaches. First, an exhaustive review of existing literature was conducted to meticulously analyze the significant elements of interstitial design. Following this, a theoretical model was developed to evaluate the research hypotheses, and a statistical sample comprising experts in architecture, restoration, and urban planning was selected. Data collection was facilitated using a structured questionnaire, while structural equation modeling was utilized for data analysis. Overall findings indicate that all the studied factors (identity-symbolic, functional, structural-environmental, and ecological) positively influence Infill Architecture, which in turn shows a positive impact on preserving the architectural identity of historical structures.
