Your school library dont have any damn books on shophouses? You must be kidding me.
You're an architecture student right? Isn't shophouse such common knowledge then? Unless you're overseas.
Anyway, there are several types of shophouses in different styles (such as art deco, or the types with a front yard and a gate dunno wat its called liaoz). But since your question is rather vague, a typical shophouse is two to four stories, and because it is damn elongated and narrow, the essence of it is the internal courtyard for light and ventilation, which apparently is quite successful in that.
For some shophouses, the front bits are conserved while the back portion has more freedom to build higher (extension). And the usuals: five foot way, staircase direct from the street. -
