Resumo
© The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.This text presents the Conservation Management Plan (CMP) for Casa de Vidro, a project designed by architect Lina Bo Bardi, built between 1951 and 1952 in São Paulo, Brazil. It highlights its contribution to the institutional development of the Bardi Institute and to the planning of conservation and restoration actions that have been implemented since 2022. The composition of the complex to be preserved is very elaborate: Main House, Caretaker’s House, Garage, and Studio built in a garden planted by the architect on 7000 square meters of land. This includes preserving the collection of works of art, books, drawings, photographs and documents belonging to the couple Lina and Pietro Maria Bardi, and making them available for academic research, loans for exhibitions and the provision of copies for authorized publications. The CMP methodology greatly improved the Bardi Institute's management approach, providing a long-term vision for its objectives, and helping it to achieve its financial sustainability. Even so, since the conclusion of the CMP in 2019, several unforeseen events have occurred that required its adaptation. The most serious was the interruption of Casa de Vidro's activities due to the pandemic, which in addition to postponing interventions, momentarily damaged its financial stability. Having overcome these difficulties, the Bardi Institute presents here the results of the first phase of conservation and restoration works, and the plans for the second phase.
