The installation revisits the vernacular using terracotta combined with proprietary sensor tech to create an immersive and interactive installation. The proposed installation 'Baori' gains its design inspiration from the stepwells found across the Indian region. Engaging traditional artisanship along with contextualized technology, the Baori is intended to initiate dialogues around holistic conservation and in turn, a holistic take on the term 'vernacular', not just through forms and materiality, but also stories through craft, motifs and soundscapes.

With ‘tac-tiles’ curated throughout the installation, these touch responsive tiles trigger a euphony of sounds ranging from the sounds of water to various regional instruments, such as the string instrument ‘Sarod’ to an ancient clay percussion instrument  ‘Ghatam’, to name a few. Thus, bringing forth a cohesive experience of the physical and sensorial.
