Abstract
The study focuses on the rise of a first generation of architects aware of restoration restoration practices according to the Renaissance cultural and artistic environment, and resulting from classical treatises. How to intervene in medieval pre-existences was a problem that these architects had to face and solve, because despite considering Gothic undesirable, it was essential to find a way to ensure the ‘conformity’ of the building, without violating the mutual ‘harmony’ of its parts, according to the principle of concinnitas, as stated by Alberti. Taking the formulation proposed by Panofsky about the modes of action found in medieval pre-existences: overlay, continuance and compromise, and according to Italian examples previously studied, we sought to evaluate the practice, in Portugal, of this modus operandi. The identification of several national case studies from the Modern period allows us to substantiate this operation and to cast a new view on the conceptual and practical genesis of architectural restoration in Portugal.
期刊介绍：
Conservar Património is a journal, published three times a year, that intends to create a space for the diffusion of conservator-restorers’ studies and activities. However, at a time when Conservation-Restoration pretends to develop further through collaboration with other areas of knowledge, such as History of Art, Archaeology, Museum Studies, Chemistry, Physics, Biology and other related disciplines from the fields of the natural and social sciences, the journal also receives contributions from any other provenance as long as directed towards the multiple dimensions of the works that integrate our Cultural Heritage. Theoretical issues on the conservation activity may also be submitted.
