Abstract

This research is part of a project under development in Urban Planning and Environment Department of the Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia (FCT) of Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), Campus of Presidente Prudente, named: "persistence in the urban space of the buildings of the Decade of 1940 in Presidente Prudente SP". This research develops the architectural inventory of old and new Municipal Palace. The first building of the Decade of 1940 with features of Art Deco, was replaced in the late 1960 by another modernist construction by Jorge Wilson, architect with strong influences from the work of Vilanova Artigas, master of modern architecture in São Paulo. The modernist building is of interest of preservation, as demonstrated by academic theses. Through the analysis of historical documentations, metric-lifting documentary, architectural conservation status, current photographic documentation and on-the-spot visits have allowed verification of designs designed and their social-spatial appropriation, in order to relate them with the theory of restoration to indicate the guidelines for the protection in their current urban context.
