RESUMO:

Natal, capital city of the state of Rio Grande do Norte has witnessed the spreading of the modern architecture language since the 1930s. However, from the 1980 decade, there has been a fierce phenomenon of dilapidation of older buildings, especially modernist ones, mostly located within economically valuable areas, which have been intensely subject to high-rise constructions. This process has motivated the assemblage of iconographical records – textual and imagetic information concerning modernist and pre-modernist buildings – about local architecture, collected from course work carried out by undergraduate students since the 1980s, which have been housed in the archives of the research group on Morphology and Use of Space (MUsA - Morfologia e Usos da Arquitetura – UFRN). This dissertation is part of such effort. In view of the opportunity to bring together those iconographic fragments in order to compose a panorama of the architecture produced in Natal between the years 1930s and 1980s, a repository of data concerning the recorded buildings, some of which scattered from different sources, was constructed and organised in file cards (137 academic work pieces originated 222 cards), which enabled the morphological analysis of each case, and its classification.  This was accomplished in the light of valuation criteria tables based on a formal canon derived from the views expressed by authors who approach the subject of modern architecture, focusing on the Northeast region. The criteria include three categories: (1) the building-plot-block-surroundings relationship; (2) built shell; (3) structure/construction aspects; (4) spatial aspects; (5) environmental/climatic adaptations and (6) other elements. A panorama of modern architecture in Natal was, therefore, outlined and classified into four morphological groups: the first (1930-1950) comprises the proto-modern production that displays the first signs of architectural renovation in Natal; the second (1950-1960) reflects the dissemination period of the modern formal lexicon in Natal, when the plastic possibilities of reinforced concrete were being highly explored; the third (1860-1970) witnesses the diffusion of exposed natural materials and façades in which structure and sealing elements are distinguished. The fourth, and last group, contains the architectural production that prevailed in the 1970s and 1980s, stressing affinities with brutalist manifestations, and the adoption of formal elements borrowed from Brazilian colonial style.
