RESUMO

Preservation of Architectural Heritage listed on the Brazilian Register of Historic Sites an issue widely discussed nowadays presupposes questions which are not always addressed by professionals involved in the preservation field. One of these questions is raising funds for maintenance of such historic sites as well as approaching these constructions and their respective communities, since it is possible to see in the cities routine the existing failures in the compliance with preservation regulations which cannot, by themselves, ensure preservation of these elements responsible for materializing memories and experience obtained throughout History. Nevertheless, the lack of preservation awareness, widely spread in our society, also shows the population lack of knowledge about History and the importance of these urban elements which not only illustrate the past of cities, but also define the identity of citizens living in these towns. These cultural definitions of the subjects may be reinforced, redefined or even produced by the different media languages that appear and/ or are reinvented according to progress coming from research, technology advances, and new possibilities of interaction, among others. Accordingly, this paper aims at promoting the set of historic buildings under preservation laws in Santa Maria through the stamping technique, inspired by the formal features of these buildings architecture. Thus, identity bonds between the citys population and its historic buildings are strengthened. In addition, an income source is proposed for maintenance and preservation of these sites. As it is common knowledge, we only value what we know.
