This article deals with the Historical Gardens in the city of Natal and ponders: Why do attempts to revitalize our historicalcenter not reach their goals? Why are public open areas abandoned by the population, so that they start deterioratingagain? The study tries to identify, to recognize and to alert for the necessity to preserve the Historical Gardens, tryingto be effective guaranteeing that the historical and cultural landscape remains and will be available for future generations.In order to give an account of history through its urban prints, our research stands between history of everydaylife and cultural geography, choosing culture – ways of life, habits, sense of identity and everyday life– as a componentof the relations between man and the space that surrounds him. Therefore, a historiographic reconstruction was carriedout, using photographic records and literary descriptions, to turn previous morphologic compositions into virtualreality. The procedure shall be adopted in eight parks, previously identified as Natal’s Historical Gardens. The caseof Augusto Severo Square, covered here, deals with a previous restoration during which a large esplanade was built,lacking vegetation and inappropriate given local climate and habits. Since the opportunity of cultural rescue has beenlost, at this moment, we expect that the area will recover its place in people’s memory and daily life. |
