Motive of the member
COSTFORD was founded to able to provide technological assistance to the Government and individuals for creating cost-effective and sensitive architectural solutions. COSTFORD's relationship with the fishermen's village at Poonthura is more than 25 years old and dates back to the times when Mr. Laurie Baker made the first resettlement layout for the village in 1974. Since then, through a series of housing schemes, the latest one being the Total Housing Scheme, COSTFORD has helped build this village in parts over time. This village brings out the approach that COSTFORD has adopted over the years to build a socially relevant architecture.
Motive of the team
As COSTFORD has been appointed to implement the Total Housing Scheme as a part of the People's Planning Campaign, it is interesting to understand COSTFORD's analysis, implementation strategy and role in scheme.
Other motives
To be able to study the peoples planning campaign more holistically with reference to COSTFORD's initiatives.
