Vernacular Traditions & Modern Influences In The Architecture Of Kerala
Home to multiple ideologies moulded from varied cultures, Kerala is a state which is a kaleidoscope of religions, cultures, cuisine and architecture, says Ar Babu Cherian, Principal, BCA Architecture, Calicut. Situated in the heart of the city at Mavoor Road, BCA Architecture delivers architectural solutions for all types of projects including traditional/ contemporary style residences. With a unique combination of resources, skills and vision, he often draws inspirations from the spectacular land scenario of Kerala and the architect in him steps into the spirit and character of the Kerala style of architecture. Practicing traditional vernacular architecture which features heavy use of craftsmanship, his designs and products are more the work of the craftsman than of the architect. His recent works are interpretations of the traditional Kerala style with their sloping roofs laid with Mangalore pattern tiles and plastered walls rendering a feeling of timelessness leading you to a bygone era. His residences, condominiums/apartments, commercial complexes etc strikes a chord between architecture and people. SURFACES REPORTER invited Ar Cherian to share some of his insights on Vernacular influences in modern architecture of Kerala.
