Transparent Restoration

Abstract

This paper investigates the application of structural glass in restoration and conservation practices in order to highlight and safeguard our built heritage. Cast glass masonry is introduced in order to consolidate a half-ruined historic tower in Greece, by replacing the original parts of the façade that are missing. Dry connections between the elements contribute to a completely reversible system that complies with the conservation guidelines suggested by the Venice Charter, while the interlocking nature of the glass units ensures the overall stability and the desired structural consolidation of the monument.
