Pueblo Architecture

Pueblo architecture refers to the traditional building style of the Pueblo peoples in the Southwestern United States, particularly New Mexico and Arizona. Characterized by adobe structures made from sun-dried earth and straw, these multi-story buildings often feature flat roofs and are connected in complex, communal arrangements. The design allows for efficient heating and cooling, reflecting a deep understanding of the local environment. Pueblo architecture emphasizes harmony with nature and has cultural significance, incorporating artistic elements and designs that are symbolic of the Pueblo peoples' heritage and way of life.
