This paper presents DI4H (Digital Innovation for Heritage), an educational module delivered during a visiting professorship at the University of Turin. The module guided students through a workflow for adaptive reuse projects, combining drone photogrammetry, mobile 3D scanning, Polycam, Agisoft Metashape, Google AI Studio, and Omeka S. Three student case studies show how AIassisted web applications and FAIR-aligned semantic publishing can transform 3D documentation into interpretative digital layers that support public communication, accessibility, and heritage valorization. The paper discusses the workflow, tools, pedagogical design, and implications for integrating AI and semantic-web methods in adaptive reuse education.
