What makes a good architectural design


HDB estates have great architectural designs as they not only provide areas for young children and elderly alike to enjoy themselves either by playing games or by chatting up with neighbors or friends. It also provides affordable housing for large families and also provide sheltered paths during rain. These structures are also easily accessible and are usually located near train stations and shopping centres.
