Adobe bricks and the straw used to make them at a semi abandoned restoration project at The Plaza, Ranchos de Taos, New Mexico. Adobe construction takes place throughout the world. It is known to date back some 4000 years. Essentially the bricks are made of earth (mu) and some sort of organic matter, usually straw or dung. The bricks are dried in the sun and air.
