Abstract
Urban setup in confused sprawl in Dhaka city is dense. Obviously, there are plenty of building regulations and bylaws to control their growth. Yet, a high level of versatility in the combination of different architectural elements can be noticed that is a resultant of site forces, bylaws, availability of local materials or technics, and different incidents of spontaneous transformation. Together they give the impression of an unconscious, yet powerful vocabulary of a particular urban residential form, especially common in the context of the rapidly growing cities in developing countries. This chapter searched for a prototype of building form in the self-built houses in confused sprawls in Dhaka city, and consequently tried to identify the existence of any categories of spontaneous transformation in those houses. The write-up started with empirical observation, and then was gradually consolidated by field studies stretched over many years of inhabitation in these neighborhoods by the author.
