TILE SURFACES OF MODERN RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE IN CAMPINA GRANDE-PB

Abstract

The tile panels can be understood as preserving elements of the Portuguese cultural heritage, and thanks to the transformations of their graphics, this product has molded itself to different historical contexts, consecrating itself as an element of cultural representation of different regions. Based on this premise, the present work seeks to contribute to the deepening of tile knowledge, more specifically in the modern period in Campina Grande-PB, focusing on tile compositions, present in two residences designed by the architect Geraldino Duda. Faced with such a proposition, it becomes pertinent to use the material, developed by the research group Architecture and Place – GRUPAL – at the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG). In this context, the input from the collected material will be discussed through the prism of surface design, together with the relevant aspects in the sphere of visual language, acting exclusively on the compositions of the tile murals, in an attempt to understand the content imagery that was generated from the identified compositions, highlighting the aspects diffused in the compositions from the murals.
