Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: The cultural heritage of any country is seen best exposed
in its architectural monuments. The ways in which the buildings
are designed, constructed and decorated speak not only the
technical and artistic capabilities of the craftsmen, but also
of the aspirations and visions of the preceptors, for whom the
construction was a medium for thematic expression. From the
single dwellings to the magnificent edifices, architecture also
reflects the human endeavour meeting ever-changing social
needs. Kerala abounds with many such architectural monuments-
prehistoric megaliths, tombs, caves, temples, mosques, churches,
theatres, houses, palaces and public buildings- built and
renovated over centuries representing a panorama of architectural
development. None of these structures is very big; the aesthetic
appeal of these buildings mainly arises from the simplicity of form
and functional perfection.
