Native American adobe structures are traditional buildings made from adobe, a natural building material composed of clay, sand, and straw. These structures are often found in the southwestern United States, particularly among the Pueblo peoples. Adobe is known for its excellent insulation properties, keeping homes cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The construction of adobe buildings involves shaping the adobe mixture into bricks, which are then dried in the sun. These bricks are stacked to create walls, often featuring flat roofs. Many adobe structures are multi-storied and have a unique, earthy appearance that blends harmoniously with the surrounding landscape.
