There are situations in which the real protection of a monument comes from a new structure that neither forces it nor confuses itself with it.
Around fragile remains, the idea of a protective cover appears simple only until you understand what may damage the site: wrong support points, uncontrolled shading, or details that become permanent without needing to.
Protection must not become aggression
At Sarmizegetusa, the idea of a reversible intervention was essential. To protect without touching means clearly separating the new structure from the monument and controlling the support points.
Reversibility has to be designed
The term becomes real only when each element can be assembled and dismantled without losses for the historic support.
Validation comes from the mode of contact
Such a solution is validated also by the way it avoids unnecessary contact and preserves the legibility of the monument.
