At exhibitions like the IAADB, we strip away the abstraction, letting visitors feel the cool density of rammed earth and the polished, waterproof smoothness of Tadelakt lime plaster. It is about closing the gap between the observer and the built environment, making sustainability something you can experience with your own hands. Our exhibitions serve as living classrooms where we dismantle the idea that architecture is only for professionals. By showcasing tensile mud structures and Tadelakt lime plaster spheres, we highlight the potential of vernacular materials to create contemporary, sustainable spaces. We believe that if you can understand the material—how it feels, how it cures, and how it holds—you can build with it. Many of our exhibition visitors start here, with a curious touch, and eventually join our hands-on workshops in Bengaluru. Whether it is applying a Rajasthani Thappi finish to a tile or learning to mix mud for wall plastering, our goal is to demystify these ancient techniques. Through these installations, we invite you to see building as a communal act. From the Red Fort in Delhi to our studio in Ashok Nagar, we advocate for construction that breathes, cools, and endures. If you are intrigued by these methods, we would love to have you at our next training session. Come get your hands muddy with us. ## About Masons Ink We are Masons Ink, a team of women masons and architects based in Bengaluru. We believe building is a deeply human act, best understood when you get your hands into the mud and lime. From designing off-grid farmhouses to hosting immersive exhibitions, our work is about making sustainable construction accessible to everyone.
