Impact of Building Regulations on Architectural Space: A Case Study of Apartments in Delhi

Author(s) Sumant Sharma, Supria Janveja
Country India
Abstract Housing is a vital element of the urban fabric; it is the most basic infrastructure of any city. The Design of housing components is governed by regulations and policy frameworks which are prescribed keeping in view the building structure and overall space needs of the inhabitants. With the change in family structure and daily routine of people, there is a change in the requirement for space, however, building regulations have not yet responded to the new way of living and are considered outdated. With the changing role of government from provider to facilitator, most of the housing complexes in the city are provided by private players. The current provisions of housing and habitable spaces have loopholes that are being exploited towards maximising saleable space. As a consequence usable psychological spaces are neglected. Byelaws were developed to set a minimum architecture standard and ensure the provision of such spaces. However, with the scarcity of spaces in the urban scenario, these byelaws are creating restrictions on the creativity & freedom of architects. Keeping these concerns in mind, this study examined the contributions of byelaws to ensure primary usable spaces in apartment designs. Since regulations are territorial, therefore, the study is based in Delhi adopting a case study approach prescribed by Robert Yin. An analysis of the designs is done to discover shortcomings and the study attempts to provide recommendations towards effective building regulations.
Keywords Housing, Byelaws, Space efficiency
