Vernacular architecture of Kerala in modern world: A way to sustainable development
Main article content, article sidebar.
Kerala is a land of diverse cultures, traditions and art forms. Each art form has its own significance that represents the style of the specific region and culture. Many of the traditional art forms are going unappreciated and are declining. The revival of these art forms demands an infrastructure that creates an atmosphere reminiscent of Kerala’s traditional spaces, which helps to provide better awareness and visual experience for the spectator.
As an impact of globalisation, Kerala was influenced by various cultures around the world, which brought in changes to the traditional architecture of Kerala that had evolved over years. The changes in the build structures led to climatic changes and issues like global warming. It was not solely about the climatic and environmental issues, but also about the loss of the culture and identity of the state. These issues need to be addressed at the earliest, and this calls for the revival of traditional Kerala architecture in the modern world. The traditional Kerala architecture is unique, here the buildings are shaped by the region. These climate responsive buildings that evolved over time needs to be studied to understand how sustainability was the basic guideline for design process. The traditional way of planning spaces created healthier environment, people and community.
The proposed cultural performance centre in Kerala aims to bring back the traditional Kerala architecture for addressing various sustainability issues faced by the current era. The integration of these structures with the native Kerala landscape creates good quality outdoor and indoor environment.
Through the case study, the research focuses on sustainability potential of vernacular architecture of Kerala, and how the principles and strategies for sustainable development could be drawn from vernacular heritage and be integrated into structures of the present society. The research examines how the sustainable development goals were contained in the vernacular structures in Kerala and how the globalisation brought in changes to the architectural styles which in turn affected the environment, socio economic, and socio-cultural characters of the society.
The integration of traditional architectural principles and techniques of designing could be solutions to many sustainable development goals that include good health and well-being (SDG3), affordable energy by using passive methods (SDG 7), climate action (SDG 13) and create sustainable cities and communities (SDG11). The revival of the traditional architecture could make a change in the way of addressing sustainability issues that emerged as the result of globalisation over the years and it could help in creating sustainable and healthy communities.
