Building Typology Traditional Characteristic Of Shah Style Building • Residential buildings having three & half stories with slope roofs • Built with burnt clay bricks with mud mortar & thicker walls • Vertically elongated wooden openings of medieval period reflection

•

• •

Transformation At Present Residential mix with commercial having 4-5 storey with flat cgi or rcc roofs Brick wall with combination of cement and mud mortar Change in window opening in size and shape

Building Typology Traditional characterstic of Rana style building • • •

white plaster on external surface of the building Slope roofs with CGI sheet roofing Cornices & column (decorative) ,floral pattern on building façade

Transformation at present • • •

Cement plaster on external surface of the building Flat roof with CGI as well as RCC material Use of the glass shutter window

Mass And Void Relation • Limited the width of openings for privacy • Dominated by massive wall • Gives the building high solid to void ratio • Large openings for light purpose • Dominated by openings than wall • Gives the building high void to solid ratio • More openings structurally weakens the structure

Consequences

Consequences Base height ratio-1:7 Tall pencil blocks

Addition of concrete structure Over old building foundation

Base height ratio-1:6 Tall pencil blocks

Building with changing elevation (2’-3’ cantilever projection) On 2nd floor onwards

Consequences

7’-0”

12’-0”

Illegal vertical extensions

Good cooperation, communication in inner courtyard

SWOT Analysis

Narrow road

ď Ź ď Ź

No transition space Added cantilever plinth

High tension line under node

Conclusion No

reflection of historical building appurtenance.

Highly

reflection of modernization.

Many

alternate use of the open space like dabali.

More

priority to the vehicles than pedestrian on the street.

Trend

of commercialization developed in each building

rather than residential.
