Abstract

In Singapore, the housing penetration rate has dramatically increased from 30% in 1970 to 90% in 1990, which is the basis for stable growth of society. The HDB flats, which houses 80% of the population, has supplied various types of housing from the beginning and has been prevented from slumming through continuous renovation. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the western type of apartment is transformed by the climatic conditions and socio-cultural environment of Singapore. In comparison with the apartment in Korea, which has been established as a typical residential type by the support of the government such as Singapore, By knowing why HDB apartments built in the 1970s and 1980s are still popular today, I would like to find implications for Korea, where reconstruction is an everyday reality. Through this, We expect to be able to gauge the future development of apartments in Southeast Asia. Analysis of 50 planes of popular HDB flats, I found the characteristics: The rapid application of policies, the succession of traditional cultures, the introduction of Western lifestyles, the reflection of society, and the response to hot and humid climates.
