About the Book
The Traditional Kerala Manor: Architecture of a South Indian Catuhsala House is a detailed architectural study of Kerala’s traditional manor houses, focusing on the Catuhsala design, a distinctive residential layout that reflects regional climate adaptation, social structure, and cultural aesthetics. Through extensive research and numerous black-and-white illustrations, the book examines structural design, spatial organization, building techniques, and decorative elements that define Kerala’s indigenous architectural heritage. The author provides deep insight into how traditional manor houses functioned as both residential and cultural centers. This volume is an important resource for architects, historians, cultural scholars, and readers interested in traditional Indian architecture and heritage housing.
