Abstract

The present research brings an updated knowledge approach of the cultural landscape of the Village of Conceição de Ibitipoca - MG, reflecting on the consequences of production and space reproduction over time, as well as the relation of local architecture - through the materials used and the constructive techniques - with social composition and symbolic perception. Having its economy based on tourism, strongly attracted by the natural beauties of the region, with the great changes occurred in the last decades in the village the preservation of its cultural identity is put to the test. A methodology for integral reading of the landscape is developed, capable of indicating parameters and constructive key elements to be used as reference in the Code of Postures and in the Municipal Law of Organization of the Soil´s Occupation and Use. The application of the methodology had positive and revealing results in relation to the fidelity of the physical data collection and confrontations with the historical and dynamic path of the actors, proving the potentiality of the resources. It was concluded that, with all the adaptations and readjustments of the natural evolution of its local architecture, there are many parameters that are still respected and followed, which are directly symbolically related to its history, since the exploration of the gold cycle three centuries ago, until the current tourist exploration. However, it is proposed constructive guidelines related to the foundations, fences, frames, roofs, walls and restraints and volumetry of the buildings of the village, fundamental to the preservation of the identity of the landscape in question.
