Abstract:
The research is based on stimulations of the modular architecture towards spatial diversity in buildings. The main attributes of the research is established on Dutch structuralism as the hypothetical base for the study. Comparing the typical buildings, their spatial arrangement of forms and spaces, which generate through structuralism comprise of high diversity alongside different spatial qualities. The complex form generated through the combination of small forms, creates distinctive spatial diversity in such forms contrasting with the typical building arrangements and its spaces. Rather than accomplishing organic forms, Structuralists regularly practice the hypothesis of modular architecture, which formulates solid forms to resulting with meaningful edges and spaces within the interior spaces. Local approaches to modular architecture have developed with simple modules for simple construction further their informal arrangement of functions. Considering modular architecture in Sri Lanka, the author has chosen two case studies with similarities and differentiate and critically analysis internal spaces in each case and support to comprehend the dimension of varieties in spatial diversity
