Abstract:

Privacy within architectural spaces is a multifaceted phenomenon deeply intertwined with cultural norms and social practices. This paper explores the boundaries of privacy in traditional Kerala homes, characterized by open-plan layouts and communal living practices. Through a meticulous analysis of spatial dynamics in Thazhathangady, Kalpathy Agraharam, and East Fort Agraharam, the research uncovers the intricate relationship between spatial organization, gender roles, and privacy considerations. The findings reveal clear demarcations between public, semi-public, and private domains within the

Abstract:

Courtyards in vernacular architecture play a significant role in shaping the living environment. Their layouts and designs are influenced by historical, cultural, and climatic factors. They are essential for thermal comfort, providing a buffer against outdoor climate fluctuations, and promoting natural ventilation. The spatial organisation of courtyards reflects the local lifestyle, with a focus on regional adaptability and comfort. This research examines the vernacular courtyard house types of Kerala, a state in India. It employs a literature review and architectural documentation of vernacul

Abstract:

The centuries between the eighth and the thirteenth stand out rather prominently from the point of view of the making of cultural traditions in India. The most arresting feature of these traditions is regionalism, which gets reflected in every sphere, whether it be the formation of political power or the development of arts or the transformations in languages and literature or even religious manifestations. In very general terms, the emergence of regional cultural units such as Andhra, Assam, Bengal, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, etc. was the outcome o

Abstract:

A study was carried out in selected panchayats/municipalities of the four agro-ecological units (AEUs), AEU 8 (Southern laterites), AEU 9 (South central laterites), AEU 10 (North central laterites), and AEU 11 (Northern laterites) of Kerala to assess the electrochemical properties such as pH and electrical conductivity (EC) and chemical properties like available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) by following one-way ANOVA. The main objective of the study was to document the soil fertility status of the study area. The perusal of the data revealed that most of the collected soils

Abstract:

This two-volume study of a great Vedic sacrifice, the Agnicayana, or “piling of the fire altar,” accomplishes two ends. First, the work is detailed ethnographic coverage of the twelve-day Agnicayana performed by the Nambudiri Brahmin community in Panjal, Kerala, South India, in April 1975. Parts 2, 4, and 5 include episodic mantraby-mantra outlines of the ritual with translations of key texts, color photographs, line drawings, and maps; a glossary and bibliography are appended. Second, parts 1 and 3 together provide a mini-encyclopedia of current information about the context of Vedic ritual i

Abstract:

This study presents the experimental, numerical analysis, and dynamic impact analysis of a building collapse caused by a rainfall-induced landslide (vertical cut slope failure) on 15 August 2018, in Peringavu, Kerala, India, which resulted in the death of nine people. The volume of 1500 m3 soil-applied lateral thrust force on the building’s rear side led to its demolition. The study includes extensive geotechnical characterization. General limit equilibrium and finite element methods were used in the numerical analysis. The infiltration analysis involved a rainfall pattern of low, moderate, an

Abstract:

Organic matter is a crucial component of soil that influences various soil properties and functions, including nutrient cycling, soil structure, water holding capacity and microbial activity. Different agricultural land uses significantly influence the quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM) fractions. The primary constituent of SOM is humic substances, also known as humus. These are stable compounds originating from the decomposition of organic matter derived from plants, animals, and microorganisms. The soil humic fraction is categorized into humic acid (HA), fulvic acid (FA) and h
