Tielo Henrique Leite Alves, from Alegre, after 30 years living in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul, returned to the city in 2021. When walking through the streets of the Terceira Capital Farroupilha, he began to see what many who live here sometimes overlook in this heritage. He says he started filming or photographing old houses, the architecture and what they represent in history.
And so he started posting this production on his personal networks and groups and people started praising him and saying that even people from Alegre who are there say that they really have beautiful houses and that they should be preserved. – There are many centuries-old houses and they are all beautiful in terms of their construction and details. -I lived for many years in Porto Alegre where only buildings predominated and I consider this an asset of our city, said Tielo.
The admirer of local architecture, in various period styles (baroque and neoclassical), whenever he goes out on the street, films or photographs and understands that in this way, in a way, he preserves in images buildings that are more than a century old. With this work, he intends to not only show the houses, but also encourage knowledge about their history and particularities, unlike these times when everything is more square and without much of a story to tell, he considers.
