oai:revistas.usp.br:article-1185012019-10-31T16:04:32Z Modern urban and architectural heritage conservation in a postcolonial context: Maputo's "City of Cement" Conservação da arquitetura e do ambiente urbano modernos em contexto pós-colonial: A Baixa de Maputo Franco de Mendonça, Lisandra Arquitetura moderna de Maputo. Conservação do patrimônio. Patrimônios de Influência Portuguesa. Moçambique. Modern heritage of Maputo. Heritage conservation. Cultural heritages of Portuguese influence. Mozambique. Forty years after the Independence of Mozambique from Portugal (June 25th 1975), the difficulties in assessing and rehabilitating the modern architectural heritage of colonial origin are evident. The structural adjustment programmes, a consequence of contrasting doctrinal changes and expressed in the adoption of specific economic reforms, together with a prolonged civil war (1974-1992), have contributed to the progressive degradation of the historic urban centres and their services. This essay focuses on the built heritage of Maputo, and aims to deepen the knowledge of 20th century architecture and urban ambiences and of the particularities involved in the conservation of architectural heritage associated with the postcolonial context. The difficulty of this task is related to the specificities of “modernity” itself: the recognition of this patrimony and its tutelage, its routine maintenance, the deterioration of materials and infrastructures, the loss of functionality and adaptation to new functions, the changes in the surrounding areas and the fact that these spatial and conceptual spaces were developed within a distinct social, economical and cultural framework, extraneous to their contemporary condition. Passados quarenta anos desde a Independência de Moçambique (25 de junho de 1975), as dificuldades na tutela e reabilitação do patrimônio edificado são evidentes. Os ajustamentos estruturais resultantes de mudanças doutrinárias contrastantes, expressas na adoção de reformas econômicas específicas, acrescidas de uma longa guerra civil (1976-1992), contribuíram para que se agravasse a degradação progressiva dos núcleos urbanos e dos serviços. Este texto foca-se no patrimônio edificado da cidade de Maputo, com o objetivo de aprofundar o conhecimento da arquitetura e dos ambientes urbanos do século XX e das particularidades inerentes à conservação do patrimônio moderno associado ao contexto colonial. A dificuldade deste exercício prende-se sobremaneira com questões relacionadas com especificidades da própria “modernidade”: o reconhecimento e a tutela, a perda de funcionalidade e a adaptação a novas funções, a deterioração dos materiais de construção e das infraestruturas, as alterações na envolvente, a manutenção corrente e, principalmente, pelo fato de essas estruturas espaciais e conceptuais terem sido desenvolvidas para um referencial cultural, social e econômico distinto, alheio à sua condição contemporânea.

| description |
Forty years after the Independence of Mozambique from Portugal (June 25th 1975), the difficulties in assessing and rehabilitating the modern architectural heritage of colonial origin are evident. The structural adjustment programmes, a consequence of contrasting doctrinal changes and expressed in the adoption of specific economic reforms, together with a prolonged civil war (1974-1992), have contributed to the progressive degradation of the historic urban centres and their services. This essay focuses on the built heritage of Maputo, and aims to deepen the knowledge of 20th century architecture and urban ambiences and of the particularities involved in the conservation of architectural heritage associated with the postcolonial context. The difficulty of this task is related to the specificities of “modernity” itself: the recognition of this patrimony and its tutelage, its routine maintenance, the deterioration of materials and infrastructures, the loss of functionality and adaptation to new functions, the changes in the surrounding areas and the fact that these spatial and conceptual spaces were developed within a distinct social, economical and cultural framework, extraneous to their contemporary condition. |
