A IMPORTÂNCIA DA ARQUITETURA SACRA NACIONAL ATRAVÉS DOS TEMPOS: UM COMPARATIVO ACERCA DAS IGREJAS DE SÃO FRANCISCO DE ASSIS EM MINAS GERAIS

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the relationship between sacred architecture and its relationship with place and time, demonstrating that even though the works are from different periods and authors, both have similar characteristics, which allows creating an opinion about the importance of religious architecture. As the sacred architecture had existed since the colonial period, it is intended to highlight its articulation with the national conjuncture, to then trace the history of the architects as well as the architectural styles. It is intended, after a bibliographical review, to compare the architecture between the styles as well as to identify religious architectural elements of a transitory or permanent character, the messages consolidated and perpetuated in time. As a solution, it is possible to diagnose that, despite different periods and authors, sacred architecture maintains its importance even in the face of the different architectural particularities located in time and space and that the essences of its message are sacred in people's lives.
