Project: Cityscape
The Kerala has its own unique architecture influenced by European rule and practiced by scholarly local craftsmen of yester years. This distinctive traditional architecture is now facing extinction thanks to the advent of modern building technology. The present day Kerala towns lacked a planned and systematic urban growth.

As an integral part of Kerala culture, it is necessary to preserve which ever remaining old buildings and structures in the cityscape of the state. These buildings need to be conserved as a living symbol of Kerala architecture that help us to understand the history and formation of the complex societies as well as changes and causes of changes that have occurred in Kerala cultures over time
Kekkeyellam Foundation plans to engage the artists, architects, landscape artists, town planners to make awareness on the preservation of Kerala architecture and also to transform the present cityscape into a renovated and refreshed area with all citizen amenities. It also envisage to provide required beautification, colour scheming, gardens, pathways, etc. to reinforce the character of local Kerala towns as vibrant convergence of rural and urban life.
