Abstract
Frequentemente interpretado como contraponto às doutrinas intervencionistas do século XIX,
o conceito de intervenção mínima tem demonstrado uma capacidade de actualização e uma
relevância cultural que ultrapassam, largamente, a dimensão retórica das teorias anti-restauro.
Acompanhando a evolução das correntes de pensamento sobre o património arquitectónico,
a intervenção mínima afirmou-se progressivamente como um critério fundamental de
conservação e, nas últimas décadas, passou também a associar-se a programas de reabilitação
mais informais e abertos, centrados na ideia de
“work in progress”. Simultaneamente, este tipo de abordagem à reutilização do património
construído reflecte a crescente importância da sustentabilidade e da reversibilidade, configurando
soluções adaptáveis a contextos de instabilidade e mudança. Com base em cartas internacionais
e literatura específica, este artigo pretende demonstrar a persistência do princípio
de intervenção mínima, cruzando a sua conceptualização teórica com a natureza processual
da reabilitação
Frequently regarded as a counterpoint to nineteenth-century interventionist doctrines, the concept of minimal intervention has demonstrated its capacity to remain vital, up- to-date and culturally relevant, going far beyond the simple rhetoric of anti -restoration theories. By keeping pace with changes in the way that people think about architectural heritage, minimal intervention has progressively established itself as a fundamental criterion for conservation and, in recent decades, has also begun to be associated with more informal and open rehabi-litation programmes, centred on the idea of a “work in progress”. At the same time, this type of approach to re-using the built heritage reflects the growing importance of sustainability and reversibility, offering solutions that can be adapted to contexts of instability and change. Based on international charters and specific literature, this paper seeks to demonstrate the persis-tence of the principle of minimal intervention, comparing its theoretical conceptualisation with the procedural nature of rehabilitation.
