Building on Tradition: The Art of Adobe and the Revival of Community.
Crocker, Amanda; Swan, Susan
Orion Afield: Working for Nature and Community, v5 n2 p10-13 Spr 2001
A New Mexico foundation helps primarily Hispanic and American Indian communities restore adobe churches by supplying technical assistance and matching grants. Community leadership of the projects enhances volunteer commitment. The projects build community cohesiveness and pride, maintain local culture, foster intergenerational relations, teach technical skills and preservation trade knowledge, and stimulate others to restore their own adobe buildings.
