Elaboration of Norms and Criteria of Intervention for the Pioneer Nucleus of Goiania-GO
Culture Heritage; Preservation Norms; Historic Urban Sites; Goiânia;
One of the main problems faced by architects and the public authorities working in cities with urban areas protected and recognized as Historical Sites (due to their historical, landscaped and cultural value) is the absence of norms and criteria of intervention within these areas, linked to the economic, social and cultural development policies demanded by contemporary society. Goiânia, capital of the State of Goiás – Brazil – currently faces the duality between the conservation of the cultural heritage and the implementation of new policies for development, especially when it comes to the core of the city, known as the Pioneer Nucleus of Goiânia-GO, protected since 2002 by the National Historical and Artistical Heritage Institute – Iphan, the public entity responsible, at a national level, for the conservation of the Brazilian cultural heritage. However, the current perception of the NPG surpasses the comprehension of its significance given by the Institute, including the growth and diversification of the social and cultural contexts made against the historical extracts, changings, irruptions and continuities on the urban tessiture. The perception also surpasses due to the constant growth of the notion of heritage, demanding a wider analysis of the problems involving the dynamic of the city and the conservation of this heritage. Therefore, the goal is to widen the discussions about the notion of conservation of the urban heritage and set norms and criteria for the intervention upon the Pioneer Nucleus of Goiânia, also aiming to determinate clear and compatible guides with the growth and development of the city. The methodological process for approaching the place and to conduct the elaboration of studies is based on the principles set by the Ministry for Culture, Iphan and MP-CECRE about the conservation and regulation of urban historical sites; and on the theoretical hue about heritage conservation and its contemporary growth, involving the topics on cultural landscape, urban typologies, urban morphology and organization in contact with in loco investigation of the place and its particularities.
