Escrita na arquitetura eclética da cidade de Pelotas: inventário de inscrições tipográficas nos imóveis históricos (1850-1930).

Abstract

This study demonstrates the process of constructing an inventory of the typographic inscriptions as seen in the historical buildings of the city of Pelotas, aiming at its valorization as an expression of writing, as well as its preservation through the recording and documentation of its occurrences. The city of Pelotas was chosen because its eclectic architectural set shows a considerable number of typographic inscriptions. The written manifestations listed here follow the geographical limits of the Preservation Areas of Cultural Heritage established by municipal law that seeks to protect the areas of the city of historical and cultural interest within the time limit of the architectural production carried out between the years 1850 and 1930. The work is structured in four chapters. After a introduction, the second presents the characteristics of the eclectic architecture developed in the city, as well as the functions and consequent systems of classification of the typographic inscriptions. The third portrays the inventory as a form of preservation, showing its origins and the inventory process adopted. The fourth chapter exposes the results obtained with the production of the inventory. The fifth and last presents the conclusions about the study developed, showing the adequacy of the inventory carried out to the function of organizing the data related to the inscriptions for analysis.
