The essay addresses the regeneration of twentieth-century architectural and landscape heritage through the case of the former Sant’Osvaldo asylum in Udine, the last psychiatric hospital in Italy to close. From a technological design perspective, it examines strategies for transforming a place of exclusion into a new community habitat. Based on interdisciplinary research and participatory processes, the project combines historical memory with ecological transition and social inclusion. It shows how the reuse of large specialised complexes can become a model of human- and environment-centred urban regeneration, with technology mediating between existing heritage and new demands for sustainability, accessibility and biodiversity.
