| Sumari: | The discussion about the contemporary architectural production as the intervention in the built patrimony is a subject that needs to be further explored in Brazilian universities and is the target of much controversy between professionals. Considering the demand of our urban centers, that daily imposes the challenge of design in memory spaces, this article aims to discuss the contemporary design practice in this context and establishes as a universe of discourse the Historical Center of Belem. The choice of objects of analysis is based on aspects that promote a broader discussion, by involving three tumbled buildings, with intervention projects developed after the establishment of protection laws and representing transforming proposals on the local scene. These buildings were: the Ver-o-Peso, a representative of the cultural identity of Belem; the Sesc Boulevard, a building which is part of the front skyline of the city; Bechara Mattar building, that breaks ostensibly with the tipology of the primitive nucleus of Historical Center. It’s noteworthy in this reflection the observation of design parameters of architects, of reference elements used, of the difficulties encountered, of the influence of theoretical and academic discussions for the design process. It is intended to extend the discussion on the “freedom” of designing in historic areas and stimulate a sensitive professional view, in favor of contemporary attitudes conscious of the preexistences value. |
