clay walls
Mud-built vertical surfaces
Clay walls are walls made from earth-based materials—adobe, cob, rammed earth, or clay plaster over a frame.
The term appears in discussions of traditional building methods, sustainable architecture, and historical construction: The old farmhouse had thick clay walls that stayed cool in summer.
Clay walls offer natural temperature regulation and have been used across cultures for millennia.
