Abstract
To approach reliable, objective and applicable assessment of transformability of apartment buildings, the Authors proposed Degree of Freedom of Transformation (DFT) Index and Transformability Profile (TP) evaluation method which combines building parts and its easiness of transformation for users. Using this method, three examples of existing SI apartment buildings were analyzed for their Intended TPs (upon data from designers) and Experienced TPs (upon actual transformation records), as well as the matching of the TPs. The Authors concluded that approx. 100 unit-years seems to be acceptable duration to assess the matching of the intended and experienced transformability, and pointed to directions of development of substantial transformability assessment.
