Live: the latter 50 years of Manaus from the perspective of Sérgio De Paula
Born in Ceará, the little Sergio De Paula went to live at a very young age with his parents in São Paulo. Still so young, to 10 years, already suffered a reality check. Left the urban, gray city, full of vehicles, noises and information to live in the peaceful and quiet Manaus. The year was 1977.
Over there, found in addition to a warm and welcoming community, streets of tiles and tiles in Portuguese style. It was the first contact that the eyes had with the world of architecture, profession that Sergio officially embraced only a decade ago, already with 63 years old, after being an engineer for most of his life.
This incredible story was shared on a live profile @elianerevestimentos this tuesday (8). Beyond career and professional experience, the architect also presented an architectural panorama of the last 50 years of the capital of Amazonas, period that coincides with the creation of the Manaus Free Trade Zone.
Considered Brazilian Paris and pioneer in many of the innovations in the country, Manaus lost during this period much of the city's main characteristic - buildings, palacetes, historic mansions have disappeared over time due to lack of care or preservation.
The architect is one of the professionals who fight for the architectural preservation of the city, of what still stood. “Recovering is not the main. It is to recover and use the place ”, defends Sérgio De Paula, arguing that the solution for the buildings that still exist is the preservation and the correct destination so that they don't fall back into ostracism.
