Construction in Brazil during the colonial period was diverse along the territory: while stone-and-lime, a technique imported from Lisbon, predominated on the coast, the use of earth was constant in the interior. This material demonstrates precariousness and low durability, requiring maintenance and elements to protect the constructions from monsoons’ waters. In this essay, we intend to indicate the difficulties of restoration and conservation of traditional earthen construction techniques, especially in rural areas in Minas Gerais, where a vast heritage of farms dating back to the end of the 18th century is present. One of these examples is the Fazenda Paraopeba, whose restoration can be considered an example in its technical refinement and management solutions for its conservation.
