SUMMARY:
Modern architecture conservation initiatives expanded internationally in the 1990s, under the leadership of Docomomo organization, favouring the concept and design of works linked to the Modern Movement. In the 2000s, another view on the subject emerged, and culminated in the formation of Icomos International Scientific Committee on 20th Century Heritage – which started to consider the conservation of buildings from a broader time frame, with a wider range of value attributes, including their history and their materiality. This view gained momentum in the last decade, and the issuing of the Madrid-New Delhi Document in 2017 is a milestone of that process. Thus, the state-of-the-art for 20th century heritage conservation acknowledges its full insertion in the conservation field and recognizes its diversity of values and value attributes. This thesis contributes to a deeper understanding of those issues and to more precise professional practices, by analysing the recognition and preservation of age value in 32 buildings, built from 1901 to 1991, spread across nine Brazilian states. Age value is a key concept in Alois Riegl’s concurrent values theory from 1903, that remains a landmark in contemporary conservation thought. The first part of the thesis demonstrates how age value has arisen and changed during Riegl's last years, in its relation to his concepts of atmosphere (Stimmung) and attention (Aufmerksamkeit), departing from an emphasis on natural time and arriving at the emphasis in human continuity, and manifesting itself through weathering, obsolescence and intentional changes in buildings. The case studies in the second part of the text explore those three attributes in a practical way, identifying many cases in which age value is relevant and liable to be conserved. Weathering-related age value varies according to building materials, to the architectural element in which these are used, and the building in which the latter takes part; it can exist in modern or traditional, fragile or resistant materials; it may be in correspondence or in conflict with design intent; and it can spring from mass-produced items, making them unique. Obsolescence-related age value can manifest itself in outdated standards, unfashionable appearance, or lost functions of buildings; the ambiguity and friction between times are a source of interest for the public. Change-related age value is less common than the other ones; it becomes visible as a type of formal complexity or contradiction, and its recognition depends on one’s sensitivity to these features. Finally, age value conservation depends on the recognition of the importance of buildings, within heritage agencies and outside of them, before and after their listing; it also depends on whether or not the conservation concepts of the professionals involved in its safeguarding recognize its materiality and its history as being relevant.
