This paper intends to clarify block formation and house types of Fort Cochin, India, while highlighting their transformation process. The research project on which this paper is based was launched under the title 'Field Research on Origin, Transformation, Conversion and Conservation of Urban Space of Colonial Cities', the major targets of which are Dutch colonial cities. To compare colonial cities all over the world, in terms of spatial formation and transformation, is the ambitious objective of this project. In Cochin, Dutch developed the form of town houses, for high-density living. The purpose of this project is to elucidate the Dutch way of construction of houses in their colonial cities. Dutch occupied many strongholds, which once belonged to Portuguese at early colonial period. They remodeled them and established new forts and cities. Fort Cochin is a good example of these reconstructions. This paper clarifies the spatial organization of Fort Cochin, by analyzing distribution pattern of its facilities, based on field surveys. Consequently, this paper focuses on residential typology of Fort Cochin identified according to their physical features and planning parameters. Finally, the transformation of these residential types processes are highlighted.
