2) Transformation of structure (1909 to 2017) The residential building typology under study is existing since 1909 and approximately having age of 107 years. It was consisting of a single big courtyard as shown in the figure 3.7. It is evident from the literature that the courtyard in traditional built up area is an open enclosed space and at central portion of building which is used as an component to draw light to the interior spaces of the building. It is further used as multifunctional space in day to day activities like washing and drying cloths, grinding grains, tot-lot for children and an interaction and relaxing space in the evening among the family members. This space is a semi open space which gives a sense of security for the users. Central courtyard has been fragmented into two spaces as living and private living spaces. 'Original Shape of Building' refers to the building's initial form between 1909 and 1948. (OFB). Eventually the demand for space has been increased with the demand and need of occupants. Hence the additional space has been acquired from segregating the central courtyard into two more enclosed spaces namely living space and private living spaces as shown in the figure 3.8. This is the first transformation of building that took place during 1948-1969 which may be called as First-transformation of Original form of building (FT-OFB).
