Abstract
Rio Grande do Sul, located in the south of Brazil, has developed an important cattle farming activity. Large farms, called "estancias" or "haciendas", were initially founded in the north of the state, because of the good quality of the pastures and the livestock named xucro which came for the Jesustic remnants. This regional economical activity developed a particular rural architecture different from the Portuguese - Brazilian approaches that were common until to the middle of 19th century, moment in which eclectic and platenses (from la Plata, Argentina) influences appeared; the first from the industrial period that it was starting, the second from the Brazilian borders. During two centuries, the rural architecture related to cattle farming in Rio Grande do Sul was a heterogeneous display of construction, expressive, and interior space aspects.Apuntes is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
