This volume addresses the theme of the conservation and enhancement of submerged archaeological heritage through the case study of the ‘Terme del Lacus’ in Baia, one of Italy’s most significant submerged archaeological complexes. The research analyses the relationship between archaeology, architecture and restoration in an underwater context, examining in depth the conservation challenges posed by Roman mosaics and the delicate balance between protection and public access. Through environmental analyses, fluid dynamics simulations and parametric digital tools, the work develops a design proposal aimed at containing marine sand—a fundamental element for the protection of mosaic surfaces—integrating conservation, technical and perceptual requirements into an interdisciplinary vision of the project.
