Building with adobe — a material created by mixing clay-rich soil with straw, sand, and other organic materials — has been in use since 8300 BC. It is popular in arid and semiarid places where wood is scarce. The word “Adobe” derives from the Arabic “al ??b” meaning “the bricks.” Adobe buildings are low energy, fireproof, biodegradable and durable if constructed properly.
