oai:ojs.www.unisinos.br:article-48012021-04-27T23:04:33Z Heritage, values and historiography: The preservation of the IAPI complex Patrimônio, valores e historiografia: a preservação do conjunto habitacional do Instituto de Aposentadorias e Pensões dos Industriários - IAPI Castriota, Leonardo Barci Araújo, Guilherme Maciel The understanding of heritage conservation has gradually been changing from a technical activity, based on scientific values, to a social and political activity, guided by cultural values. At the same time, as we understand conservation as a social practice, there’s a growing need to understand how the objects, collections or buildings and places are recognized as heritage. Considering conservation as a social practice leads us ultimately to realize that its purpose is not to maintain the objects and places for themselves, but to maintain their values. In this context, this article tries to understand the relation between historic preservation and historiography, showing that in both cases one is always dealing with values that ultimately decide what is going to be narrated or preserved. As a case study, we will analyze the history and the preservation process of the IAPI Complex in Belo Horizonte, the most important local housing project in the 40s, and also a representation of the important performance of the Institutes of Welfare and Social Assistance at that decade. This article will show the high quality of this architectonic production, in spite of the hegemonic historiography that incenses the works affiliated to the Modern Movement such as Gávea and Pedregulho complexes, and almost completely ignores other modern variations like most of the architecture produced by the IAPs. Key words: heritage, historiography, social housing, values, historic preservation criteria. Hoje, existe a consciência de que a conservação do patrimônio cultural passou, gradativamente, em sua trajetória, de uma atividade técnica, pautada por valores predominantemente científicos, para uma atividade social e política, pautada por valores culturais fortemente contextuais. Nesse sentido, a elucidação da atividade da conservação como prática social aponta a necessidade de compreender de que forma os objetos, coleções ou edificações e lugares são reconhecidos como patrimônio. A compreensão desta atividade como uma prática social permite dizer, em última instância, que a finalidade da conservação não será mais a manutenção dos bens materiais por si mesmos, mas a manutenção dos valores neles representados. Nesse contexto, este artigo objetiva entender a relação entre a preservação do patrimônio e a historiografia, mostrando como em ambos se lida com valores capazes de determinar o que vai ser narrado e preservado. Como estudo de caso, analisa-se a trajetória e a preservação do conjunto IAPI em Belo Horizonte - MG, o principal projeto de habitação social daquela cidade e representante da atuação do Instituto de Aposentadorias e Pensões (IAPs) dos anos 1940. O artigo mostra a alta qualidade desta produção arquitetônica, a despeito da recepção negativa da historiografia brasileira, dominada pela perspectiva do Movimento Moderno, que valoriza obras como os conjuntos da Gávea e Pedregulho, no entanto ignora quase completamente as outras variações modernas, como a produção dos IAPSs. Palavras-chave: patrimônio, historiografia, habitação social, valores, critérios de preservação.

The understanding of heritage conservation has gradually been changing from a technical activity, based on scientific values, to a social and political activity, guided by cultural values. At the same time, as we understand conservation as a social practice, there’s a growing need to understand how the objects, collections or buildings and places are recognized as heritage. Considering conservation as a social practice leads us ultimately to realize that its purpose is not to maintain the objects and places for themselves, but to maintain their values. In this context, this article tries to understand the relation between historic preservation and historiography, showing that in both cases one is always dealing with values that ultimately decide what is going to be narrated or preserved. As a case study, we will analyze the history and the preservation process of the IAPI Complex in Belo Horizonte, the most important local housing project in the 40s, and also a representation of the important performance of the Institutes of Welfare and Social Assistance at that decade.
