Masonry Camp is the nationally recognized design/build educational program for young architects and masonry craftworkers. They get hands-on exposure to masonry crafts - brick, stone, plaster, tile, restoration, and terrazzo - and experience each other’s profession. Multi-disciplinary teams solve a design-build exercise, and learn the value of collaboration.

This year’s architectural campers represent 17 firms.

The International Masonry Institute (IMI) created Masonry Camp more than a decade ago to foster collaboration between designers and builders, and to invest in the future of good masonry design and construction. The program is held at the John J. Flynn BAC/IMI International Training Center in Bowie, Maryland, which was designed by Stanley Tigerman, FAIA.

“Masonry Camp can make an immense change for architecture by breaking down barriers.” Stanley Tigerman FAIA
