| Abstract | |
This research deals with the preservation of the architectural heritage of both colonial and coffee period, within the context of architectural restoration\'s practice undertaken by the architect Luís Saia during his activities in National Historic and Artistic Heritage Service (SPHAN). In his operations as the head of São Paulo regional, Saia was one of the key characters in the practice of conservation in Brazil through the structuring of a restoration methodology, especially between the years 1937 and 1975. This was a precursor activity in the country, since there were no previous references in the field of architectural restoration. Luís Saia did not formulate a theory of restoration. However, in the midst of discussions on the parameters for the effective realization of conservation practices, conducting a critical rereading of interventions in SPHAN allows us to check for references to theoretical texts of restoration, as the Athens Charter (1931) and the Venice Charter (1964), showing evidence that their practice performance has found support in the patrimonial charters. From this perspective, this study evaluates the presence of possible dialogue between European restoration theories, which formed the basis for the development of patrimonial charters, and the restoration intervention undertaken by the architect. Therefore, we sought to analyze six emblematic works, in order to verify a possible theoretical basis that appraises them, formulated or not preliminarily to those works, and to what extent were guided by European theoretical precepts of restoration, especially Italians.
