Portability is one of the most important factors determines how professionals preserve and conserve

cultural heritage. Moveable heritage such as artifacts found in excavations are sent to museums or
storages. On the other hand immovable heritage, especially architectural; ruins, highly deterioriated
and structurally instable structures are in need of effective shelters as a means of in situ preserving.

Temple of xxxx (xxxx) in xxx/xxx is a monument of great significance in terms of not only architecture
but also archeology and history with inscriptions on it. Today, marbles of the temple are suffering
from gypsum formation causing loss of some parts of inscriptions. In addition to that, the temple also
has structural instability.

This study aims to develop a parametric shelter design for Temple Of xxxxx comprising following
issues:
Protecting the monument from environmental conditions

Impoving a facility for today’ s visitors and researchers

Overcoming structural problems together with an integrative shelter design

Offering a long term modern shelter design compatible with the monument itself and historically
multi-layered urban context
