The rural landscape of Puglia and the trulli of the Itria Valley represent a balance between architecture, agriculture, and food culture. Tools such as drawing, surveying, and BIM are essential for documenting and enhancing this heritage, integrating historical, environmental, and construction data. Digital surveying makes it possible to preserve the memory of the trulli, while BIM allows for the simulation of interventions compatible with traditional construction logic, promoting sustainable architecture. In line with the theme "World Heritage and Food to Feed," these structures reflect a virtuous relationship between the built environment and food production: farmhouses, gardens, water collection systems, and local agricultural practices promote biodiversity, self-sufficiency, and resilience. The focus of this paper is a reinterpretation of this heritage through innovative tools, with the aim of preserving its cultural identity. Integrating tradition and innovation thus becomes a conscious design act, connecting food, landscape, and architecture
