muurauksena
Muurauksena is a Finnish term that broadly refers to the act or process of masonry. It encompasses the construction of walls, foundations, and other structures using units such as bricks, stones, concrete blocks, or other similar materials. These units are typically bound together with a mortar, which is a pliable mixture of cement, sand, and water, or lime, sand, and water. The mortar acts as both a binding agent and a leveling medium, filling the gaps between the masonry units and creating a cohesive and strong structure.
The practice of muurauksena has a long history, with evidence of early forms found in ancient civilizations.
