    About 40 km from the former Dacian capital, the Romans founded Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa, the first city of the new province of Dacia, established immediately after Trajan’s victory. The city was built according to a typical Roman urban plan, featuring a forum, an amphitheater, temples, administrative buildings, and residential districts.

    If you want, I can also translate the entire article, refine the tone, or adapt it for a museum panel, a website, or an academic publication.

  • Conservation and Restoration — Amphitheatre within the Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa Archaeological Site

    Conservation and Restoration — Amphitheatre within the Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa Archaeological Site

    Conservation and restoration project for the ancient amphitheatre at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, with reversible and minimally invasive interventions designed in direct relation to the monument and its public use.

    Context

    The amphitheatre at Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa is part of the first Roman city founded in the new province of Dacia and represents one of the most important public constructions preserved on the site. The historical and archaeological value of the ensemble requires an attentive, compatible, and reversible intervention.

    Intervention

    The objective was to stabilise and coherently restore the historic structure, while also recovering its role as a public space. The solution included new seating tiers in an independent steel structure, separated from the monument.

    ARMIST role

    ARMIST collaborated with the structural designer of record throughout the design stages and in the technical assistance provided during execution.

  • What we see before design

    What we see before design

    A good investigation does not gather information at random; it reduces the uncertainties that can alter the structural solution.

    Before design, the most important question is not what we can add, but what truly exists on site. On historic sites and older buildings, the difference between a convenient hypothesis and a verified observation can completely shift the solution.

    Observation has a target

    At Sarmizegetusa, investigation did not mean a simple inventory of degradation. We had to distinguish what belonged to the wear of the historic material, what came from environmental exposure, and what effects had been introduced by earlier interventions.

    What is missing matters as much as what is visible

    In many projects, the critical information is absent. That is why an investigation has to be designed to answer the real gaps in knowledge, not just to confirm what already appears obvious.

    Good design starts with clear limits

    When we know what is authentic, what is fragile, and what cannot be touched, design becomes more precise and more responsible.
