Abstract
In many cities, the examples of traditional architecture are being replaced by contemporary buildings, without any strategies in order to preserve a specific period of the urban and housing histories. These legacies are witnesses of particular features in terms of local communities, societies, political environments, urban morphologies or architectural languages. In this sense, this article presents the case study of the traditional wooden houses in the city of Maringá in Paraná (Brazil). There is a set of buildings which still remain among the existing urban fabric. However, every year some of them are destroyed in order to give room for new ways of designing the city. The methodological approach is based on the ICT (information and communication technologies) as a tool to study the features of these traditional wooden buildings.
Highlights
The accelerated processes of urban renewal drive the disappearance of important examples of popular architecture in contemporary cities
Alongside the other types of buildings, popular architecture is part of the narrative of the economic, social, and spatial transformations that have occurred over time
This article presents an ICT method for the recognition and trend analysis of the set of wooden houses built in Maringá-PR, Brazil, between the 1940-1960s, in order to identify characteristics and trends that indicate a path preventive for the preservation of the set of houses
Summary
The accelerated processes of urban renewal drive the disappearance of important examples of popular architecture in contemporary cities. This architecture is able to manifest material ways of creating, doing and living of the common man and the context in which it is inserted. The technological tools are mainly focused on diagnostics and data collection for the execution of reactive actions of architectural conservation despite the increasing use in evaluation and registration of patrimonial buildings In this way, this article presents an ICT method for the recognition and trend analysis of the set of wooden houses built in Maringá-PR, Brazil, between the 1940-1960s, in order to identify characteristics and trends that indicate a path preventive for the preservation of the set of houses.
