  It was in the late 1960s and ’70s that the author, then a student
of architecture, first encountered built environments belonging
to the genres of folk or vernacular traditions. e persistent
exclusion of these traditions from the modern urban vision
compelled the author to document these styles, culminating in
this book on the wooden architecture of Kerala.
is book explores the socio-cultural and the tectonic aspects of
Kerala’s wooden architecture, which is deeply rooted in religious
and secular customs and shaped by geo-climatic forces. e
author’s multi-disciplinary approach links the various ethnic
groups residing in Kerala, and the mutual adoption and
adaptation of construction systems within migrant groups.
Despite being a living tradition serving millions of people,
vernacular architecture in India has not received the academic
and analytical attention it deserves. is volume attempts to fill
this research gap, a need made more urgent by the fact that the
built environment is changing and the traditional ways of
building may get replaced by the modern much faster than we
can imagine.
