Caracterização e identificação de estilos arquitetônicos em cidades do estado do Paraná

Abstract

The present work aims to carry out a theoretical reference on the architectural styles that have emerged throughout history, with emphasis on Europe and Brazil, in order to identify and classify the elements and styles studied in the cities of Curitiba, Londrina, Ponta Grossa and Paranaguá. For that, data on world architecture and its historical context were gathered, and a synthetic tool was developed to analyze and categorize each style; then, a collection of important and relevant buildings from each county under study was carried out, in order to classify them in a certain style. With the results obtained, a link can be found between the local history and its corresponding architecture, making it possible to correlate the variety of styles in the county with the time of their foundation and the migrations that occurred in the territory. It is concluded that Architecture and its ways of building express accomplishments, aspirations and conquests of societies throughout history and, in the development of cities of Paraná, it is also observed these aspects materialized in the studied works.
