About the Product

The local translation of traditional Kerala houses, Nalukettu is 'nalu' meaning four and 'kettu' meaning blocks. The traditional architecture is typically a rectangular structure where four halls are joined together opening into a central courtyard, open to the sky, with a Tulsi Vrindavan in the center. The architecture especially catered to large joint families, to live under one roof. The most distinctive visual form of Kerala architecture is the long, steep sloping roof built to protect the houses walls and to withstand the heavy monsoon. Due to the tropical and damp climate, the plinth is raised from the ground, to protect from insects and dampness. Ventilation is also well taken care of. Main materials used in Nalukettu house is the locally available Timber, clay, palm leaves and stone
This kit will help in understanding the basis of vernacular architecture and also give an exposure to our rich traditional culture prevalent in the rural areas, in a way which is fun and interactive. The template inside has to be cut, colored, folded and then joined to make a hut. Follow instruction for cutting and folding given on the cover flap.
Potli, the organization behind the series of interactive craft kits, aims to reconnect people with traditional Indian art and culture thereby creating awareness and expanding markets for artisan communities that depend on their art for their livelihood while helping sustain the old art forms they practice
