Consequently, varied expressions are seen in the built form under the same context, the degree of coherence in a place depends on the nature of collective values as well as the individuals. Thus, each place has its own identity. We often associate a built form with its physical appearance or location, whereas this does not account for the entire description. A built environment houses a certain function and that responds to the type of human activities that are happening in it. Through the ages these structures have continued to generate these same activities but the way their functioning is changing. A built form speaks so much for itself. The spaces interact with each other and the functions are interrelated. Every space evokes a feeling based on its inherent character. Achieving a relationship between the spaces and the people who used to, are living and will be living in and use them -thus creating a sense of identity. DEFINING MOVEMENT Movement is defined as a relation between the user and the built mass/space. There are complex and interconnected architectural movements that have taken place in time as things have changed and we have advanced. Space needs to be defined in a built environment. That necessity emerges from the need to manage space and to optimize its performance, and to enable each space to fulfil its function as part of the larger jigsaw puzzle. Apparently, movement cannot be related to architecture because buildings are static, but there is an analogy between architecture and the changing trends. In this case, the built form moves and changes in accordance to the way the world is moving ahead and adapts to that. Metamorphosis of a structure refers to the layers that it sheds and gains through the years. In order to remain prevalent and keep up with time and as the activities change, the built form has to metamorphosise parallel. The conventional way of designing is development of architectural space is three dimensional Euclidean geometry. As we progress, the concept of space deals with the change of perception and movement of the human as time passes, opening a new perspective to view architecture and space.
