LIMA KEDAI VERTICAL HOUSING

Studies such as those conducted by McCarthy et al. (1978), Baum et al. (1979), and Evans et al. (2000) have revealed that excessive crowding in high-density living results in social withdrawal, which is detrimental to social interaction. And if residents are unaware of who their neighbors are, high-rise living becomes ripe for crime (Conklin, 1971). Lima Kedai Vertical Housing aims to improve the social interaction within the social housing scheme in Malaysia by implementing some of the architectural elements like co-living lifestyle and adding some more advanced architectural construction systems.
