Engenhos e fazendas de café em Campinas (séc. XVIII - séc. XX)
The article studies the architectural country side of the city of Campinas, a legacy
of two economic cycles: the sugar cane and coffee industries at the end of the 18th century
and during the 19th century. It analyses the historic documentation and files found in the Centro
de MemĂłria Unicamp. It is about the buildings and their construction, the different forms of
negotiating and the multiple programs necessary to the growing and housing sectors (during
the coffee cycle, the disposition of the buildings determined by the flowing of the operations
and needs related to the seed betterment). The article also gives emphasis to technological
details of the buildings, revealing preference for traditional methods and materials used in the
architectural culture in SĂŁo Paulo state. This particularity is shown by the domain of mud huts
until the advent of railroad in 1870
