Casa do Sítio da Ressaca
The Casa do Sítio da Ressaca is a Bandeirista-style building,[1] a remnant of the Brazilian colonial period, located in the Jabaquara district of the city of São Paulo.Preserved by the Council for the Defense of Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage (CONDEPHAAT), the Casa Sítio da Ressaca[3] was restored in 1978 under the commitment of the Municipal Urbanization Company (EMURB) and was re-inaugurated in 1979.After this, it became part of the Jabaquara Cultural Center and, since 1990, it has housed the Afro-Brazilian Memory and Living Collection, gathering objects related to the presence of black people in São Paulo.[9] Houses such as the headquarters of Sítio da Ressaca only had their historical and artistic value recognized in the 20th century, from work undertaken by figures such as Mário de Andrade and Luis Saia.Mário de Andrade, a modernist poet, was also the director of the São Paulo office of the Institute for National Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN).[11] However, nowadays, the Casa do Sítio da Ressaca has exhibits and activities focused on the memory of the Afro-Brazilian presence in the region, as well as traditions and manifestations of popular culture.Cura/Jabaquara foresaw the rescue of the house and the surrounding area through the following procedures:[8] Architect Gustavo Neves da Rocha Filho was hired to design the building for the Jabaquara Cultural Center.After that, it became part of the Jabaquara Cultural Center and, since 1990, it has housed the Afro-Brazilian Memory and Living Collection, gathering objects referring to the presence of black people in São Paulo.[12] The archaeological research, carried out between 1978 and 1979, led by Marlene Suano, covered strategic points in the house, opening cuts of up to 80 cm in the floor that would serve as guides in the search for architectural evidence that could bring more information about the daily life of those who lived there.The objects ranged from metallic buttons, river shells, coins, glass bottle caps, white crockery, to other fragments such as bones, iron, pieces of charcoal, and charred sticks.[14] The Casa Sítio da Ressaca, as well as the other Bandeirista houses, was built with the rammed earth technique, of Arab origin, in which forms and pestles are used to compact a thick mass of clay, gravel and other various materials.[16] However, the Casa do Sítio da Ressaca has a peculiarity concerning the other examples of Bandeirista architecture in the city, which is the asymmetry of its plan, in which there is a single porch, not centralized, on the main façade and a gable roof.
