This paper presents an educational experience developed at Polytechnic University of Turin, where an integrated approach between building archaeology and conservation design was tested. The case study is the South Tower of Valentino Castle, a UNESCO-listed Savoy residence in Turin. The teaching methodology involved different digital tools for students. The presence of a specialist in building archaeology proved essential to develop a “stratigraphic mentality” in students, enabling them to interpret the building as a historical palimpsest. The paper concludes by arguing for the necessity of interpenetrated training paths between architecture and archaeology, especially in the Italian context where future design challenges will increasingly focus on the existing built environment.
