Os níveis de intervenção permitidos no processo da classificação do património edificado: a casa Oswald Hoffman e a residência onde pernoitou o presidente Samora Moisés Machel, na cidade de Inhambane

Abstract

Interventions in built heritage are a compromise between carrying out conservation work and the need to maintain its original physical condition. Built heritage has irreplaceable characteristics that, once destroyed, can no longer be restored. Therefore, for lasting conservation it is necessary to apply permitted levels of intervention, which aim not only to maintain the property in its original structure, i.e. its physical integrity, but also its cultural significance for study, research and other purposes, for the benefit of present and future generations. This study demonstrates how permitted levels of intervention are applied, using national legislation that protects built heritage. Based on the study of the built heritage of the City of Inhambane, the cases of the Oswald Hoffmann house and the Residence where President Samora Moisés Machel stayed are examples for the consolidation of the technical-normative procedures inherent to the levels of intervention permitted in the built heritage, also known, in another terminology, as immovable cultural assets(TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
