ARCHITECTURE: Adobe construction: What's old is new again For thousands of years, civilizations around the world have built houses out of earth – whether it be mud brick, wattle and dab or rammed earth.

Correspondent Conor Knighton looks at the history of adobe, and how ancient adobe materials are being merged with 3-D printing techniques. [Original air date: May 17, 2026.]
