Documenting the modernist architecture in South America: between challenges and research opportunities
The presentation explores the current state of art of some 20th century buildings in Brazil and possible future challenges related to the preservation of the design process and buildings by the use of contemporary methodologies and technologies.
Nowadays, many programs are trying to address the challenge of preservation of modern architecture: among these, the Getty Conservation Institute (Getty Foundation, Los Angeles) developed Keeping It Modern, a grant initiative that continues the deep commitment to the conservation of historic buildings. The works carried out by the DIAPReM research centre (University of Ferrara, Italy) in South America that will be presented are strongly related to the Getty’s initiative, taking advantage of grants awarded to, FAU, USP and Lina Bo Bardi Glass House (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and the church of Eladio Dieste in Atlantida (Montevideo, Uruguay).
