About AdobePodcast.com

AdobePodcast.com began with a mission to share stories about historic adobe buildings and the people working to preserve them. This static edition expands that mission into a practical publication about adobe construction, restoration, tools, passive design and the history of earthen architecture.

Our editorial approach

We distinguish general educational information from project-specific engineering advice. Adobe performance changes with climate, soil, structural system, maintenance and local codes. Readers should work with qualified builders, preservation specialists, architects and engineers.

Why adobe matters

Earthen construction connects architecture to place. It can support lower embodied energy, local craft, repairable walls and comfortable interiors. Historic adobe also carries cultural knowledge that deserves respectful preservation and accurate documentation.
