Architectural survey: integrated didactic experience at FAUUSP

Abstract

This text addresses the didactic activities developed in the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of the University of São Paulo in July 2018 related to the restoration and the metric survey. Within the framework of the academic cooperation agreements with the Sapienza Università di Roma. The activities involved undergraduate and postgraduate courses and a scientific event open to a wider audience. The course presented the notion of restoration today, debating questions of method  and highlighting the necessary interrelations of the restoration – understood as a disciplinary field that has autonomy, but is not isolated, since it requires the articulation of several fields – with
other areas of knowledge and with the architectural design. The discussions were focused on questions of method and the interface History – Architectural Survey – Restoration (design).
The object of study, to deepen the theme and to offer the possibility of experiencing in practice some of the procedures, was the FAU-Maranhão building.
