Ce travail propose des instruments pour la valorisation des techniques traditionnelles utilisées dans la construction de la ville d'Ouro Preto à l'époque coloniale, qui constituent un important patrimoine immatériel du Brésil. La ville d'Ouro Preto, connue auparavant sous le nom de Vila Rica, détient probablement le plus grand trésor historique brésilien dans le domaine de l'architecture coloniale, ayant été élue par l'UNESCO comme site du patrimoine mondial en 1980. Pour la construction de la ville au cours du XVIIIe siècle, plusieurs techniques ont été utilisées, généralement selon les traditions ibériques, telles que la maçonnerie, le "pau a pique", 5 la terre battue, la charpenterie et la maçonnerie en pierre. Avec l'industrialisation et la modernisation, les techniques de construction ont changé et ces connaissances traditionnelles ont été délaissées et presque oubliées par ceux qui travaillent dans la construction civile. En plus d'être un ensemble important de connaissances qui ont contribué à construire l'histoire du Minas Gerais et du Brésil, ces techniques sont également essentielles pour la sauvegarde du patrimoine matériel de la région, en raison de leur importance pour les travaux de restauration des bâtiments coloniaux. En raison de cette importance (patrimoine matériel et immatériel), il est nécessaire de créer de nouvelles façons de valoriser et de sauvegarder ces connaissances.

Abstract
This work will propose instruments for the valorisation of the traditional techniques used in the construction of the city of Ouro Preto in the colonial times, which are an important intangible heritage of Brazil. The city of Ouro Preto, known before as Vila Rica, holds probably the greatest Brazilian historical treasure in the domain of colonial architecture, having been elected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1980. For the construction of the city during the 18th century, several techniques were used, generally according to Iberian traditions, such as stonework, “pau a pique”, rammed earth, carpentry, and masonry. With the industrialization and the modernization, building techniques have changed and this traditional knowledge has been left behind and almost forgotten by those working in civil construction. In addition to being an important set knowledge that helped to construct the history of Minas Gerais and of Brazil, these techniques are also essential for the safeguard of the material heritage of the area, due to its importance for the works of restoration of colonial buildings. Because of this importance (material and immaterial heritage), it’s necessary to create new ways to valorise and safeguard these knowledges.
