*** About Southwestern Adobe Architecture

***: Adobe architecture, a hallmark of the Southwestern United States, has a history deeply rooted in Native American and Spanish influences. Characterized by thick, earthen walls made from a mixture of soil, water, and organic materials such as straw or dung, these structures offer natural insulation against the harsh desert climate. Typically, adobe buildings feature flat roofs and rounded edges, with exposed wooden beams known as vigas. The style speaks to a blend of functionality and artistic expression, often adorned with symbolic elements and natural pigments that tell stories of cultural heritage and survival in challenging environments.
