The frozen architectural heritage products refer to the products that cannot be repeated or continued for more time. This phenomenon caused by many factors such as inability to use, inadaptability, unrepeatability, collapsibility and the products classified as masterpiece. This paper adresses this phenomenon as a negative power inside the traditional urban fabrics. The main question is how the impact of this negative power could be reduced. This paper conducted a questionnaire to evaluate the architectural heritage products in Alkadhemiaa city in Baghdad. A large part of its fabric has been removed and the local architecture of Alkadhemiaa city has been affected negatively. The results obtained showed that the loss of this heritage fabric could have been avoided.
