There is a case in Rotterdam, one momerial building destroyed in WW2, and the architect rebuilt the structure with transparent framework instead of rebuild the building.
·another case is in spain, a church in Cordoba.
·Robert Venturi Franklin Court
·and one project by Edoardo Tresoldi in Italy
There are other examples, dating from post-World War II of German towns reconstructed after bombing and also churches in the UK some restored, some left as ruin and some with modern architectural interpretation. If you use Google Scholar and search under "heritage reconstruction vs restoration" you will find a lot of relevant articles. For example:

Considering a Great War of 1914-1918 a disaster of a kind you are speaking of, I would point onto my older Article Eastern Prussia: Inventing a Province Anew
In brief, it was a passionate re-invention of the past lost.
Furtheron, the 1987 IBA offers a plenty of re-creations and re-inventions on those inner-city areas of Berlin that the World War tore down.
As for the Rotterdam´s Delft Gate (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delftsche_Poort_(stadspoort)) or the Franklin Court - these are singularities only, commemorative spaces at best, as they cannot be used. In the case of Rotterdam, due to the new rail and road layout, the gate now stands in a hardly ever visited location, be it by locals or tourists.
Hellou! It depends on the level of disaster so that it can be planned.
First of all, we would have to look at the particularities of the disaster. A first diagnosis and possible urban and environmental planning and intervention depend on this!
Andres Armando Sanchez Hernandez Hello! We may think that there was a very destructive earthquake and that there was no cultural heritage left. I can give your suggestion, thank you
An earthquake as you describe would be a very intreresting case indeed, for when re-building one would have to take most up-to-date seismic precautions first, like suspended foundations, wave barriers, etc. There would be little use in painfully restoring some heritage piece, putting it together like a mosaic, only to see it shredded in a follow-up earthquake. If a disaster strikes a pictoresque slum area, or just an area without adequate sanitation, insulation, etc., creating modern living standards would be a high necessity. These needs might prove to be non-combinable, then one will have to settle for some partial solution...
Take Warsaw old town, or Gdansk. After the World War, little remained of both. Their facades were re-done over the years, yet whatever may stand behind them, wasn´t. Their insides are modern flats and offices now, with decent courtyards where originally there were none. By this, both the street-goers´ and the inhabitants´ wishes are answered to.
Dmitry Sukhin Unfortunately, I realized that we think about pre-disaster planning in protected areas, but we do not think about it during or after the disaster. First, a good analysis can be made for the area and revitalization projects. But Pre-disaster planning is much more important in cultural heritage areas.It is very difficult after the demolition
Hello Zeray Pesin! The more important is do you one interdisciplinary team, with people conservation of the heritage, and especiality and architects, urbanists, ingenieries, etc. Levels of the intervention with the aplicability of the ICOMOS chartes and oficial documents, about diferent tematics. The anastilosis, consolidation, etc. And the aplicability diferents intervention to heritage architectonic
Andres Armando Sanchez Hernandez yes you are right, group working is necessary
Dear Seray Peşin! I am atent a some question! Greettings
Andres Armando Sanchez Hernandez Dear Andres, When I complete my works about planning cultural heritage areas after disaster , I will contact you.
