This book offers a rich, cross-disciplinary examination of military, modern, and industrial heritage through fresh perspectives on interpretation, reuse, and technological integration. Structured into five focused sections, it explores strategies for reimagining defensive structures, institutional architecture, and post-industrial landscapes throughout Europe. Case studies range from fortified complexes and decommissioned prisons to socialist-era sports halls and heritage rail stations, revealing the cultural layers and design challenges inherent in their protection and renewal. This book highlights the application of advanced digital methodologies—such as GeoAI mapping, HBIM systems, and cost-effective 3D modelling—to enhance understanding, planning, and stewardship. It also investigates material conservation and the intersection of modern heritage with contemporary energy and sustainability goals. Emphasizing inclusive narratives, socio-cultural relevance, and innovation in practice, this book serves as a vital reference for designers, conservationists, policy-makers, and academics committed to preserving the character and meaning of built environments while adapting them for future needs.
