The Centre for Vernacular Architecture is a Co-operative of building
craft persons established in 1989. A non-profit organization, the
Centre has been designing and executing turnkey, various vernacular
architectural projects in South India. Vernacular Architecture is a
little known and little explored field that is concerned with
Architectural building traditions/practices that are cost effective,
ecologically sensible and culturally relevant. Building on the work of
practioners like Laurie Baker and Hassan Fathy, our architectural
practice promotes the use of locally available materials, traditional
building techniques, culturally and climatically relevant building
design.

The Centre comprises of a core team of six Architects, Eight
Engineer/supervisors and a team of about 75 dedicated building
crafts-people drawn from all the building related trades. Apart from
undertaking turn key projects we also offer consultancy, training,
promotion of student exchange/resident programs.
