Same research topic is found

In fact, when i was doing research for our report. I found that another project has done a "HDB Flats Analysis." It is just a analysis of HDB Flats instead of void deck but it still helps us a lot for the report.It has told us the history and development of HDB flats at Singapore. 

In respect to the report, they have mention about the function of the HDB. One of the functions is  HDB provides a catalytic support to community development by organising community activities, promotion materials, and other means that will enable grassroot organisations to communicate with its residents.

Interview with taxi driver

Last time while i just received the report, i don't really even know what is "void deck". After one week while i was taking taxi, then i talked to taxi driver. i asked why Singapore's apartment flats have void deck, then we started our conversation. Therefore i have a interview with taxi driver before research methodology part to help me have a better understanding about my report's topic.

Van Gogh Street Gallery

This is an interesting research found. There was a Van Gogh Street Gallery at Block 56 on Pipit road. This is another creative way to use Void deck. 

In 2011, Social creatives launched an initiative that transform the first floor and common space of a residential area into an art gallery which are inspired by the art works of Vincent Van Gogh. This signature initiative of Social Creatives has appeared on local TV shows and even on CNN.
