Andhow this relationship with the architectural heritage is being addressedwith the preservation and restoration precepts used in Brazil, especially inthe city of Pelotas, RS. The contemporary artistic interventions of graphitein the walls of big cities are not considered violations or vandalism by thepopulation anymore. Graphite consolidated as an urban visual languageand gained status of art. This art carries with it the capacity to endow thespace with personality, meaning and identity, which goes beyond the merely decorative function. The spaces that have this kind of interventions havetheir nature modified and are seen and felt differently by people. Today,the investigations in Art and Architecture bring approaches, ways to accomplish, and promoting, inside and outside the academy, relations withthe space and everyday life. The poetic productions aim at the study andexchange of information and works, developed with the purpose of reflecting, or even rethinking historical and traditional aspects, but also involvingpolitical and social contexts within the different localities. All this promotetransformations in the production space, and different perceptions in theprocess that can be exemplified by urban art. When dealing with the industrial heritage being repainted by this art, the questions become to be regarding the meaning attributed to them. By being inserted into architecture, these images can make it possible to share narratives, often by reshaping buildings in a permanent stratigraphy of the city. It is necessary towork with the memories, the heritage, and the different cultural identitieswithin the graphite itself, together with the discussion and dialogue aboutthe city, for the city.
