Thinking of the Earthship homes - the words green and sustainable brought back to mind the Taos Pueblo, dating back 1,000 years. Long before solar panels, the Taos Pueblo community stood as a model for locally sourced, climate conscious design and building methods.
The Pueblo is made entirely of adobe.. earth mixed with water and straw made into sun-dried blocks. Adobe construction delivers energy efficiency in the desert climate. The thick mud walls serve as natural insulation, absorbing heat during hot days and radiating warmth during cool nights.
