Until the early 1990s the shelter, constructed by Marinatos to protect the monuments in the prehistoric city he brought to light in the excavations conducted at Akrotiri on the island of Thera, under the auspices of the Archaeological Society at Athens, had functioned effectively. However, due to the gradual corrosion of the metal frame (DEXION) and the discovery of the hitherto unknown carcinogenic properties of asbestos, constituent of the corrugated sheets of the roof (EΛΛENIT), the need to replace the shelter became urgent.
