adobe construction
Sun-dried brick architecture
Adobe construction is building with sun-dried bricks made from clay, sand, water, and organic material like straw.
The technique dates back thousands of years and remains common in arid regions where the thick earthen walls provide natural insulation against heat.
The old mission church was adobe construction, its walls two feet thick.
