Coverage of Archaelogical Ruins of the Abbey Of St. Maurice, Saint Maurice, Switzerland, 2010 designed by Savioz Fabrizzi Architectes
By suspending 170 tons of stones, it expresses the ever lasting hazard the site had been exposed to. The roof gives the interior a calm and almost contemplative ambience. It is built above the fundamental buildings in order to keep the dialogue between the facades and the cliff face. The “stone-roof” serves as a filter for light and produces an evenly spread and regular illumination. -- ArchDaily

Deck Over A Roman Site, Parque Del Monlinete, Cartagena, Murcia, Spain, 2011 designed by Amann-Canovas-Mauri
The primary goal of the project is to respect the existing remains, using a long-span structure, which requires the least amount of support for lifting the cover. The intervention unifies all the remains in a single space, allowing a continuous perception of the whole site. The cover also generates a new urban facade in the partition wall. -- ArchDaily
