Abstract
AbstractThis study intends to demonstrate the relationship between the constructions made by Azorean settlers soon aftertheir arrival to the island of Santa Catarina located in southern Brazil, and the technical and architectural forms of thenatives adopted by them. Darcy Ribeiro (1999) mentioned the indigenous acculturation phenomenon on behalf of thegroup of settlers in her book O Povo Brasileiro, The Brazilian People. This paper aims to offer an in-depth study of theconsequences brought specifically to architecture. A special mention must be given to the walls of wattle and daub;the technical component that was best incorporated in the colonizer’s building culture and which has endured untilthe present day. In regard to the form of native architecture, it is good to remember that it has remained unchangeddespite the substitution of materials by newer ones over time. The paper pretends to deliver a contribution to theconsolidation of Brazilian identity and aknowledgement of the spatial occupation made in the area.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
