A conservação da arquitetura moderna de Campina Grande.

Abstract

The modern architecture of Campina Grande is vast, diverse and priceless in its most varied aspects, at the same time, paradoxically, it is often neglected by the city itself, which implies in its continuous decharacterization and depreciation. This work aims to identify the current state of conservation of the modern buildings of Campina Grande from the 50s and 60s and highlight the importance of this heritage for the city, in addition to contributing to the documentation of the style buildings. For this, a selection of 16 modern buildings within this temporal cut, diversified among themselves, was made as a sample group for the general evaluation. The work uses documentary, bibliographical research, survey of data in public agencies, photographics records in the selected buildings, to perform the comparative analysis between the current and old photos and the visual analysis through it’s physical aspects. Through the mapping of buildings and the synthesis of their conservation states, it became possible to perform, in addition to individual analysis, the collective analysis of the buildings. Through this study, we intend to reinforce the importance of applying an effective conservation policy in the city as a way to preserve its history.
