The integration of smart technologies into the adaptive reuse of historic buildings has redefined the relationship between urban memory, cultural identity, and regeneration processes. In a time when cities are rapidly digitizing, tools such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), the Internet of Things (IoT), and digital heritage platforms offer new possibilities for documenting, managing, and reimagining historic environments. However, the application of these technologies is never neutral. While they present technical efficiencies and enhanced connectivity, they also risk simplifying complex histories, privileging market-driven narratives, and accelerating processes of exclusion under the guise of innovation. This thesis critically investigates how smart technologies reshape the adaptive reuse of historic sites, asking how they can be leveraged to support cultural preservation and resist the forces of gentrification that often accompany urban transformation.
