Adobe
Also known as sun-dried bricks, adobe is a type of brick made by mixing clay with grass or small pieces of pumice as binders and then drying it in the sun. There are many examples of adobe used in ancient Mesoamerican and Andean architecture. It has the advantage of being cool in summer and warm in winter, and is still used in parts of Mexico.

Japanese:
日乾(ひぼし)煉瓦ともいい,壁土に草や小粒の軽石などをつなぎとして混ぜ,型に入れて日に乾かした煉瓦。メソアメリカやアンデスの古代建築にはアドベを使った例が数多く見られる。夏涼しく,冬暖かいなどの利点があり,メキシコの地方ではまだ使用されることがある。
