Vestígios de um saber ancestral: arquitetura popular e memória, o caso do povoado Ponta dos Mangues, Pacatuba (SE)

Abstract

The work in question has as main objective to discuss the vestiges of popular architecture in Sergipe. To enable this study in a specific area, the village of Ponta dos Mangues, located in the municipality of Pacatuba (SE), was selected, as there are buildings that resist the arrival of new construction processes. The methodology used in the work was exploratory research, with an analysis of bibliographies on popular architecture, territory, conservation and documentation. Subsequently, visits were made to the village, for the collection of data and for the oral (interviews) and visual (photographs) productions. Through the analysis it was possible to find constructions that follow the constructive processes and traditions of the village, being elaborated at the end of the work the mapping of the territory and typologies of these architectures created. Finally, understanding the work as a historical contribution to the state of Sergipe and to Brazilian architecture, the present study can be used later by preservation agencies and academics, in order to value and document this popular architecture that has been lost over the years.
