As we all know humans are social animals and they live as community . Community
means group of people live together in same locality
The smallest form of community is dwelling unit but only owners can enter freely to this

enters the space have equal ownership
REASONS OF WHY HIGHRAISED BUILDING CAUSE
PROBLEMS:
1.HIGH-RISES SEPARATE PEOPLE FROM THE STREET.
high-rise buildings are less adaptable than mid-rise structures, and therefore are inherently less sustainable.
high-rise buildings are built largely of steel and concrete and are less sustainable than low rise and mid-rise
buildings built largely of wood; steel and concrete
high-rises keep children and the elderly from getting the exercise the extra effort it takes to get outside encourages
them to stay at home
PROBLEMS CAUSED BY HIGH RAISED
NEIGHBOURHOOD :
Traffic
Parking
Noise
Suspicious Activity
Private Properties
TRAFFIC :
As many families live in high raised building there would be a lot of
traffic present in the surrounding of the building and this might cause
problem.
PARKING
:Parking problem may also cause as there are many families and everyone will
have a vehicle and they must have a common space to park and mainly cars should
be under the surveillance of security officer to avoid any kind of robbery problems
NOISE :
Their would be a lot of noise which may come from traffic and the people from
neighbor hood
COMMON AREAS :
In common areas there should be a team or group of people who Take care about neatness

CASE STUDY:
BEDOK COURT CONDOMINIUM
INTRODUCTION:
The Bedok Court condominium in Singapore was an attempt at creating a multi-family high-rise
housing project which incorporates the features of single-family houses found in traditional area
villages. The major feature of this is the “forecourt,” an exterior space between the interior of the
individual unit and the condominium’s circulation.
Community spaces within a high-rise building which are modeled after those from a traditional
singlefamily house can function to foster community in a similar fashion without sacrificing
aspects of the individual such as privacy and security.
Singapore, a country plagued by a high population within a small
area, has a large percentage (81%) of its population living in public,
high-rise housing projects.
The Bedok Court condominiums were designed by architect Cheng
Jian Fenn in the early 1980’s to deal with, among other things,
community.
This community connection was created by taking ideas from
traditional houses in the area. Fenn looked at local traditional
housing types from the area for inspiration.
These kampong, or village, houses incorporated angung and
serambi spaces, which are exterior veranda spaces As illustrated in
the typical layout of this style
house involves these exterior space as a way for the inhabitants to
interact with those who pass by and as a way to enact “the social
ritual of greeting and receiving neighbors and visitors” Fenn looked
to incorporate these spaces into his residential high-rise complex.
