Transition Spaces: A Reminiscent of the Past

Abstract

Now a days with the transformation of the society and the Urban development and the change in demography, the urban centers are facing a lack of proper built form to support a health life style. The buildings of usage specific of Residential as well commercial are lacking proper design and is subjected to alter the lifestyle. In the term of improvement, the reduced carper areas impact on the overall building performance. In order to strive the problem statement, a retrofitting of thesis spaces come into existence. Building of any nature has some common unavoidable entity which are termed as Transitional Spaces, such as staircases and verandahs. These spaces pay an important role in space transformation. Upgradation of these spaces in an orderly manner tends to improve building performance. The paper focuses on these spaces which are termed as Transitional spaces. The spaces are divided into Static and dynamic as per the nature and the usage. Analysis can be done on the spaces to study the impact in the current context and parameterization can be done to find possible solution of retrofitting. The influx of pandemic led modifications can also be analyzed to improve the users experience in the indoor and possible solution to connect the outdoor elements can be established. Selection of building material plays a major role in augmentation of the overall indoor experience which can be mandated through National framework concerning energy saving. Hence, overall perspective of transitional space is to be changed as not only a medium of interconnection but as an essential part of the built space in connection to the past evidences in Architecture.
