| Abstract | |
The research assists in an understanding of the Brazilian architectural and urban heritage preservation practices, by analysing the strategies of the federal organ then called the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Service (SPHAN) in the restoration works that were executed in the urban site of Diamantina, between 1938 e 1967. As we follow its path reviewing the three decades after the city was signed national monument , we go through a deeper comprehension of its theoretical concepts as well as its pragmatic issues that the staff of SPHAN had to deal with, in the very complex task they faced, pioneeringly. This search is recreated, mainly, by the analyses of the documents found in the archives of the institution. The documentation seen as a result of its context becomes, then, an useful instrument of careful examination on the intricate interactions between population, local government, and the main direction of SPHAN then represented by Rodrigo Melo Franco de Andrade , its state district, run by the architect Sylvio de Vasconcellos, and the city supporter, João Brandão Costa. The accurate investigation of the procedures that took place shows a panorama of recommendations for new constructions, demolitions and reconstructions, or for restorations of the existent houses that reveal a greater goal of retelling the history of itself, the own idea of Brazil.
