Adobe structures are extremely durable
and account for some of the oldest extant buildings on the planet.
Adobe homes are
one of the most comfortable
and
offer significant advantages
due to the greater
thermal mass (compared to
standard brick or a wooden housee).
Mud Brick
is
a
natural building material in use for several thousand years since
the Late Bronze Age from the eighth century BC. The
largest adobe structure ever made was the
Bam Citadel also the
Huaca del Sol in
Peru (with 100 million signed bricks),
the cedillas of
Chan Chan and
Tambo Colorado. Adobe buildings are widespread in the
Middle East,
North Africa,
South America, south-western
North America and
Spain used by
the Mayans and indigenous peoples of America in the South-western
United States, Mesoamerica, and the Andean region of South America.
