Episode notes

Rose Simpson is an artist from the santa clara pueblo, which is just north of santa fe. She went to art school on the east coast where she was dismayed to live not in a solid mud house, but in a wood framed house. Rose's family has a long tradition of building with mud and it wasn't until she moved back that she realized how much adobe means to her.

In the final episode of our vernacular spectacular anniversary series, 99pi producers and friends of the show will be sharing more stories of regional architecture–some close to home, some on remote islands– that capture our imagination and inspire us to look deeper. Stories of Bermuda roofs, Queen Anne Cottages, and what exactly counts as an "earth tone."
