• Abstract:

  Casarão Marieta Teixeira de Carvalho, located in São Paulo, was built between 1878 and 1884. In addition to its historical importance, the residence represents a landmark of architectural innovations in Brazil at the end of the 19th century. The objective of this work is to present a historical survey and the listing process, as well as identify the elements for carrying out the damage diagnosis necessary to guide the intervention on the property's facade. Much of the restoration inside the property was carried out in 2005 and there was a diagnosis carried out at the time. The facade is the element that is most worn out due to years of exposure to the elements and vandalism, the main causes of the damage found. In this study, the characteristics of the facade were surveyed and pathologies were identified to indicate appropriate methods for intervention. To this end, information was researched about the history of the property and its listing process, in addition to photographic surveys to produce a planned image of the facade and laboratory tests to identify the plaster mortar. From these elements, a damage map was produced to indicate the pathologies found.
