Abstract

The Cultural Preservation Center (CPC) conducted extensive research on the management and preservation of USP’s building heritage based on a survey from SEF (Superintendence of Physical Spaces). This agency, originated from Fundusp (USP Building Fund) created in the 1960s, is responsible for planning, organizing, monitoring and preserving the University spaces, which holds an estimated collection of 400,000 drawings on paper, photographic documents, memorials and digital files. The diversity of information about the selected buildings, whether historic buildings donated or sold to the University of São Paulo or those built by the institution, presented a challenge to collecting data to reveal the general principles of design and intervention on the University’s cultural heritage. Using a defined sample, assets already listed as heritage (or going through that process), it was possible to gather the necessary information to establish a timeline of the changes the buildings in scope went through, from their construction to the most recent interventions.
