adobe walls
Sun-dried clay structures
Walls made from adobe—sun-dried bricks of clay mixed with straw or other organic material.
Adobe walls are characteristic of traditional architecture in the American Southwest, Mexico, and other arid regions, valued for their thermal mass and ability to keep interiors cool.
The thick adobe walls stayed cool even in the afternoon heat.
