Brasil
The urban-architectural cultural heritage is a socially constructed image that plays an important role in the elaboration of reality, including memory and identity, helping to present temporality and the environment of social history through the maintenance, construction and replacement of buildings in the landscape. In the southern region of Brazil, the immigrants left strong marks through the constructions of the city of Criciúma. Today, we live with public policies that distance our heritage from social life, through reconstruction and the false “updating” of architecture. Reflections present the manipulation of collective memory as a political mechanism to impose, often veiledly, new identities. The value of the use of the patrimony becomes an economic value, breaking with the affective bond that unites the inhabitants to the place.
