A Contribuição das edificações em madeira na produção da Colônia Agrícola Nacional de Dourados - CAND

Abstract

Considering the use of wood in the history of colonization in the southern region of Mato Grosso, this dissertation's main objective is to survey and record existing buildings and highlight the contribution of professional carpenters. To idealize this work, we sought to identify the existing wooden works within the 1st Zone of the National Agricultural Colony of Dourados – CAND. Furthermore, we resorted to historical understanding regarding the implementation of the Colony in this location, through written sources, photographs and maps, as well as the study of architectural techniques and the construction systems adopted in the buildings. Regarding the methodological procedures, in the identification of the works, families were consulted, whose buildings were built between the 1950s and 1970s, with the aim of recording those existing as architectural memory of the time. In this context, the contribution of carpenters comes into play, who were able to work and transform wood, a natural resource in abundance at that time, with “João Carpinteiro” as a worker, in the execution of works within the Colony, just as we highlight his arrival as a migrant. Thus, we observe the importance of this architectural survey of wooden buildings, since the large quantity available facilitated the practice of architectural solutions with their use, recording through photos and technical drawings so that they are recognized as historical and cultural heritage. We conclude that this survey and registration of works aims to recognize the existence of a part of Brazilian cultural heritage.
