Questões teórico-metodológicas para o planejamento cromático de áreas históricas

Abstract

This investigation approaches the theme of chromatic planning of historical areas. The research seeks to investigate the methodology of elaboration and the methodological procedures used in the development of 'Color Plans'. The main motivation and justification for carrying out this research was the finding of a lack of knowledge (theoretical and methodological) in carrying out chromatic interventions in Brazilian historical areas, despite the recognized importance of color as part of the identity of cities. The general objective of the research is to identify the phases and methodological procedures present in the color plans that have the purpose of conserving and preserving the historical environment, to contribute to the elaboration of a theoretical and methodological basis that can help the development of the planning of chromatic interventions aimed at historic areas. To achieve this objective, exploratory research was carried out, structured around three procedures: bibliographic research, documental research, and comparative analysis of two color plans. The Italian color plans developed for the city of Pavia and the Province of Latina were adopted as the object of study of this dissertation. The emphasis on Italian color plans is due to the experiences of chromatic planning at the urban scale and the broad debate on the preservation and conservation of heritage carried out in Italy. The results of this research indicate that the chromatic planning of historical areas can be understood from three planning phases: the first phase focused on the knowledge of the area of action of the color plan, the second phase related to the proposal of the color plan and the third deals with the implementation of color plans in cities. In addition, it was possible to identify that each phase is composed of specific methodological procedures, which are adopted from the definition of the guiding criteria of the color plans. The analysis of the Pavia and Latina plans revealed that a broader approach, which includes the perception of urban environments through tools for reading and analyzing the morphological and perceptual aspects of the city, helps in the development of the chromatic planning of the set of buildings present in these environments.
