Abstract
The former Erechim Colony located in the northern Rio Grande do Sul state of southern Brazil was officially established in 1908 with immigrants of different European nationalities. At the same time, official constructions were installed by the colonization organs and popular constructions were erected by the immigrants, all built in timber. It was made a comparison between erudite and popular timber historical buildings in this region, based on historical documents, surveys, photographs, iconographies and field research. There was a reflection on the distance and the approximation between these two modes of production. It was proved the existence of differences and similarities in terms of construction technology and details and architectural types between the two building models, erudite, produced by a professional specialist, and popular, a handmade built by immigrants with scarce resources. It is believed that this work may help for understanding a possible influence or interconnection between these architectures.
