Architectural restoration in Brazil: current challenges
In this text some relevant topics concerning architectural restoration in Brazil today will be analyzed,
highlighting two main aspects.
The first one concerns the attempts to disqualify restoration as a discipline, which has been less and less
considered when dealing with cultural assets. On the contrary, its theoretical and methodological basis
should always be taken into account, together with its operational repercussions. Some of the causes of this
phenomenon in Brazil will be explored.
The second one will be to highlight the viability of well-founded interventions, through some recent
examples that provide qualified and pertinent design responses, from the conservation point of view, and
demonstrate that respectful projects are viable.
