Resumo:
The architectural complex of Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário located in Vitória, in Espirito Santo, is an important remanent of brotherhood religious architecture in the state, built in the eighteenth century, that presents an unique insertion and volume when compared to other specimens of its category. In the complex, there was an important clash for black culture of Espírito Santo, the Caramuru’s and Peroá’s conflict in 1833, which happened around the appropriation of São Benedito’s image. Declared heritage since 1942, by Brazil's National Institute for Historic and Artistic Heritage (Iphan), the building has substantial damages on its outdoor space, lack of continuous use and has lost its landscape value. Thus, recognizing its important attributes and values to be exalted and preserved, as its intangible and symbolic ones, it’s necessary a renovation and restoration that preserves this monument and keep its integrity for future generations. Therefore, this proposal intends to restore and renovate the architectural complex of Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Rosário, maximizing its use and requalifying it, in a way to value its physical content and its intangible and symbolic values.
