Mud Talks 15-2: Preserving Earthen Architecture - Typical Architectural Styles, Features & Materials Found in Earthen Structures

With Mud Talks 15-2 we continue a special eight-part miniseries dedicated to the topic of preserving earthen architecture. In this second episode of the series we speak to Francisco Uviña, Project Consultant and Director of the Historic Preservation and Regionalism Certificate Program at the University of New Mexico’s School of Architecture and Planning. We speak about typical architectural styles, features & materials found in earthen structures in the Southwest USA.
