The Purple Ink Studio draws on ship sails for seaside pavilion in Kerala

Architecture practice The Purple Ink Studio has created a temporary pavilion in India at the Kerala Literature Festival that aims to recall the region's Indo-German links.

Named the German Pavilion, the structure was designed to draw attention to forgotten historical ties between Kerala and Germany that date back to the arrival of a mission in 1830.

The Purple Ink Studio aimed to create a space that was both unusual and welcoming, while also highlighting connections between the city and the country.
