“…Therefore, decision to construct a protective structure should be part of a management plan which aims to preserve the values of the site. Other options for protection such as reburial or consolidation should be considered before construction [6]. To avoid excessive intervention, their construction should be limited to sites with rich artistic and decorative features.…”

“…Although construction of protective structures has been practiced for a long time, research concerning this subject has been emerging only since the last decades of the 20th century. In addition to descriptive studies about the protective structures, different approaches to the issue of design methodology and evaluation of the performance have been previously considered [3][4][5][6][7]. In this study, the concept of transparency and its effects on conservation and presentation of the remains are investigated on a group of selected protective structures which have the complete building enveloped or the facades in transparent materials.…”

a b s t r a c tProtective structures are advantageous to extend the life of exposed remains and to display objects of cultural significance. A considerable number of shelters and enclosures have been constructed of transparent materials to enhance the display function. This study aims to examine the utilization of transparency in design of protective structures in terms of advantages and disadvantages. To fulfill this aim, a group of protective structures, which were completely transparent or with transparent faç ades, such as the Roman Villa at Piazza Armerina, Sicily (Italy), the Fishbourne Roman Palace at West Sussex (England), the Roman Bath at Badenweiler (Germany), the Cathedral ruins at Hamar (Norway) and the Terrace Houses 2 at Ephesus (Turkey) were investigated in terms of their effect on preservation and display of remains. The selected examples illustrated that greenhouse effect, condensation, loss of transparency and excessive lighting are the problems to be considered in the design process. As a result, transparent materials used in protective structures should be selected carefully according to their thermo-physical properties such as solar, thermal and light transmission in order to reduce the negative effects of overheating and condensation.
