The Kiran Mukerji collection contains Kiran Mukerji's research material on building and design technologies for affordable housing, which consists mostly of publications, a few textual records and a slide collection from the Institut für Tropenbau (Institute for Tropical Building). The publications have been transferred to the library to facilitate description and access. They can be found and requested for consultation on the CCA website using the search term "Kiran Mukerji Collection". The published material consists of approximately 200 books and 150 periodicals largely in German and English, dating from the mid-1960s to the early 2000s, with the majority of books published in the 1970s and 80s. The Mukerji collection concentrate on the theme of appropriate building technologies in developing countries. Books pertaining to earth and brick construction are a particular focus. Other themes include ecological building materials and construction, engineering handbooks, and designs for small heath centers in developing countries with an emphasis on sanitation measures. In addition, Mukerji inserted relevant newspaper and journal articles in to many of the books in the collection; these related ephemera are described in the catalogue records of their host items.
