ABSTRACT
During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and through the work of previous thinkers, we will see a progressive and effective consolidation of the autonomy of architecture as a discipline. In this context, the primitive hut seems to have consisted of an important reference for architectural theorization. One of the most critical aspects for the evolution of this question surrounding the primitive hut and the origin of architecture may have consisted in the progressive understanding and consolidation of it, no longer as an object of direct imitation, but as an ideal reference, a process that would contribute to the construction of Modernity and for the future evolution of architecture.
