The survey is presented as a critical and practical tool for the reuse of industrial heritage, drawing on the teaching experience of the course “Survey and design for building refurbishment at urban scale” at the Politecnico di Torino. The Ex Officine Grandi Motori site in Turin serves as the case study for defining urban regeneration strategies. The programme integrates direct and indirect surveying, historical and documentary analysis, morphological investigations and comparative benchmarking processes to construct a multi-level diagnostic atlas. Through teaching by doing, flipped classroom and peer evaluation approaches, students develop adaptive reuse scenarios based on spatial reconnection, the centrality of public space and the active conservation of existing industrial heritage.
