ICH 2026: InterHeritage: Interfaces for Construction Heritage

InterHeritage is a half-day workshop, held in conjunction with ACM ISS 2026 (Turin, Italy, November 2026), exploring how interactive surfaces and spaces can help make sense of construction heritage, historic buildings, fortifications, and industrial sites that generate large, scattered archives of drawings, records, and technical knowledge. The workshop brings together HCI researchers, construction historians, and heritage practitioners, grounded in Turin's own layered constructional heritage and the EUROGLOSS COST Action (CA24102), and is organized in cooperation with the Archivio di Stato di Torino.
