How the Puebloans Built Adobe Houses to Survive 113°F Desert Heat | Architecture Documentary In this architecture documentary, we travel to the American Southwest to uncover how the ancient Ancestral Puebloans engineered massive adobe houses capable of surviving extreme desert heat reaching 113°F (45°C). In a high desert plateau defined by brutal temperature swings, scarce timber, abrasive sandstorms, and sudden flash floods, survival depended not on modern air conditioning — but on thermal mass, structural geometry, and advanced material science. #adobe #puebloans #ancestralpuebloans #desertarchitecture #thermalmass #architecturedocumentary #indigenousengineering #passivesolardesign #desertsuvival #southwestarchitecture #earthenarchitecture #113F ---------------------------------------------------------- Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship, and research.
