FISHERMEN’S VILLAGE Poonthura ,Trivandrum(1974-75) CHALLENGES: • Severity of environment in which the tribal's live. • Limitation of resources • Conventional architects stayed away from these projects • Dealing with large insular groups, with set ideas and traditions. • Dealing with cyclones
DESIGN STRATEGIES Construction
• Exposed brickwork and structure • Sloped concrete roof • Openness in design and individual units offset each other • Continuous latticework • in the exposed walls
Dealing With Cyclones: • Low sloped roofs and courts serve as wind catchers • Open walls function to dispel it • Long row of housing replaced by even staggering • Fronting courts catch the breeze and also get view of sea
Open Spaces • Little private rectangle of land in between houses for drying nets , kids play, • Provides sleeping lofts within and adequate space outside for mending nets and cleaning and drying fish
