Background
The alternate building movement that started from Trivandrum has also caught on in the city of Cochin, as in other small pockets of the country, thanks to the efforts of architects like inspiration and other like-minded people, who have spread out all over propagating their alternate technologies. The market scenario is changing with the availability of material suppliers and labourers considering the options of appropriate technologies. The terms such as rat-trap bond and filler slab are not completely unheard of. It was at a time like this that the Inspiration considered undertaking the construction of the Sarovaram hotel, completely making use of eco-friendly technologies. |
