SANCHEZ, Lorena Marina. Safeguarding the residential contextual legacy: contributions from the treatment of indicators of heritage sustainability in two fragments of the city of Mar del Plata. Astrolabio [online]. 2021, n.27, pp.102-123. ISSN 1668-7515.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.55441/1668.7515.n27.31037.

Since the middle of the 20th century, the evolution of safeguarding related to housing has advanced from monumentality to context, from individualization to landscape characterization, from material conditions to experiential aspects. However, protecting the typical housing stock of each territory, especially in the dynamic urban settings, was -and remains- a challenge. The experiments of proposals for longer-term residential protection have coincided in two aspects of interest: the promotion of indicators of patrimonial sustainability which are inscribed in each state-local framework, together with the recognition and treatment of the user role. In this sense, from historical-architectural and social variables, the construction and application of indicators of residential heritage sustainability is proposed to highlight problems and potentialities towards the formulation of appropriate preservation strategies. For this purpose, it is approached the city of Mar del Plata, a paradigmatic intermediate agglomeration from the province of Buenos Aires, due to its past and present dynamisms, with focus on its chalets “Mar del Plata style” and its users. Two historic neighborhoods were analyzed -Stella Maris and La Perla-, where a significant diversity of chalets survives in a framework of multiple risks that affect their permanence. From a mainly qualitative perspective supported by quantitative data, in situ surveys, written sources (previous research, scientific articles, heritage charts), graphical sources (planimetries, photographs, aerial images) and oral sources (surveys, interviews) were articulated. In this way, the investigation allowed to look upon renewed ways to progress in the safeguarding of the contextual residential legacy.
