Mud Frontier: Architecture at the Borderlands

Colorado Premier

Set in the remote and breathtaking San Luis Valley of Colorado, Mud Frontier: Architecture at the Borderlands follows designers Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello’s experimentation with robotic manufacturing processes and traditional adobe architecture. Motivated by the neglect and abandonment of customary earthen building techniques that were once widely used throughout the region, an area where Indigenous and European colonists have historically lived both in harmony and in conflict with one another, Rael and San Fratello reflect on this legacy to forge new methods of creative production.
