(Inglês) A typology of facade in the churches of S. Miguel (1728-1882)
Abstract/Resumo
The religious spaces are carriers of great symbolic importance, standing out in the urban fabric
not only for their location, but also for their scale in relation to the surrounding buildings. We
show the relevance of the religious space in the S. Miguel island (Azores) urban fabric, where
the church presents itself as an element of great importance. It is the generator of urban fabric,
and it is usually strategically located as a landmark of the civic center of the localities. This
study presents an analysis of the main facades of the parish churches of the island of S. Miguel
built during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. It highlights the existence of a typology
of facade, which is a consequence of the materials and building systems existing there at the
time. This demonstration continues the studies carried out by Sousa (1986) with the concept of
facade Micaelense baroque ornamentation and Caldas (2012) with the concept of Micaelense
baroque facade and Micaelense type facade. Methodologically, the investigation was carried
out through the analysis of the elements that make up the facades of the parish churches, the
study of old and current photography, and drawings made in CAD; and the systematization of
facades by grouping them into categories and establishing a typology between the various
churches of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
