Design strategy and informal transformations in urban housing
Abstract
Dweller-initiated transformations are mostly chided for their apparent locational
spontaneity that is often at variance with functional and aesthetic objectives in formal
housing design. This presumes speculator-driven motives as sole reasons for the phenomenon and yet others including the social and physical functional objectives also underlie the processes.
