RESUMO

The industrial revolution constitutes the beginning of a historical phenomenon that marked profoundly a great part of humanity as well as other forms of life existing in our planet, and that last until our days. The material traces of these profound changes present a universal human value and the importance of its study and of its conservation need to be recognized. The preservation of the railroad villages shall be motivated by the fact that in these goods a cultural signification is recognized, its aesthetic and/ or historical value, also we cant despise the symbolic, emotional, afective value, turning them worthy of measures to be tutorshiped for the coming generations. Still, the worries in preserving the railroad villages as historical heritage can be enhanced by the inventory processes, taking in account not only its historical and architectonic value, but also the urban action that turns possible the maintainance of the current residents in the residential complexes. Inside this context, an example is the Companhia Paulista de Estradas de Ferro oppened in Campinas, São Paulo state, Brazil, on August, 11, 1872. The purpose was to build a railroad between the cities of São Paulo and Campinas. The company built throughout its existence a total of 1,612 houses along its tracks and main railroad junctions. Among the railroad villages built by the Companhia Paulista in Campinas, there is the village existing in the Ponte Preta district. During the last 80 years, the dwellings suffered countless interventions on the side of its residents, adapting them to several tastes and needs. The houses were steadily modified, with the substitution of several constructive components and even with the increase of the built area. In this thesis, we tried to know the changes that occurred in the Village. Still, in the initial phase of the research we noticed the deterioration of the houses, even with life risk of their residents. Thus, given the importance of the preservation of this railroad heritage through an inventory process and the imediate finantial getting for the restauration of the houses, with the aim that the residents may have conditions to continue to live in a safe manner, we applied for the openning of study of an inventory process of the railroad village Ponte Preta being the petition accepted by the Conselho de Defesa do Patrimônio Artístico e Cultural de Campinas (Condepacc). The investigations and results constitute the body of the present thesis/dissertation.
