Abstract This research aims to analyze the formation of rooftop houses in the 1970s and their transformation. This research has been conducted through analyzing related laws and policies, interviews, mapping through measurement. Site analysis also demonstrates that rooftop houses are products of the intersection of increases in single-person households, characteristics of the location, and the interests of the landlord; they are now reproduced in media via aesthetic images with the aspect of poverty removed. And rooftop houses have been mass-produced discreetly as a result of placing excessive importance on policy reforms that increase the density of the detached houses. But rooftop houses should be redefined as an incorporated housing type where the socially marginalized resides, rather than as illegal structures.
