Aspectos da arquitetura civil edificada no centro histórico do Município de Itaberaba-BA

Abstract

The preservation of built historical heritage is of great importance for a city as it carries with it the identity and memory of a society. The objective of this work is to analyze the aspect of the built civil architecture, in addition to evaluating the state of conservation of some representative buildings of the built heritage of Itaberaba-BA. The characteristics of the city's historic center were maintained due to its lack of proximity to local businesses, allowing properties in this strictly residential area to be preserved. Most of these buildings are protected by municipal listing, which prevented their destruction or disfigurement. However, the owners in general find it very difficult to carry out interventions, which contributed to the increase in degradations. Qualitative research was used as a methodology, seeking to diagnose the structures of buildings combined with documentary and bibliographic survey. The results revealed that most of the front facades are in good condition and one needs maintenance, due to the levels of pathologies found. In summary, the research aimed to show the value of this set of buildings, highlighting its current situation, aiming to promote actions to rescue and preserve the memory of this symbol of Brazilian architecture.
