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.
