Catalogue

The spread on Nalukettu in the Catalogue is to provide information about the style of the architecture shown in the display. The information relates to the traditions in Kerala on which this architectural style is based.

The Catalogue spread incorporates a picture of the space reconstructed as well as pictures of elements of traditional aspects of existing Nalukettus.

Poster

The poster is to show an element of the display in the museum which relates to the Nalukettu and through this bring about the a certain feel that can be related to the museum.

The poster shows a picture which is only partly in colour. This is to show how the modern reconstruction stands out in stark contrast with the traditional feel of an old Nalukettu and yet seems to blend in giving a feel of what the display is trying to convey.

Display Proposal

The concept of the display is to reconstruct a part of a Nalukettu (the traditional architecture style of Kerala) in such a way that it helps one relive the experience of visiting or living in such a place.

Display:
The presence of a skylight and reconstruction of other structural features of the central courtyard will help to give and insight into the actual feel of the place and create an atmosphere of peace.
The reconstructed central courtyard will be surrounded by screens which have projections which help to guide one through the daily life and activities of the residents of a Nalukettu as well as their surroundings.
