A Design for a condominium apartment project

Abstract

This Master's Degree Project is an exploration of quality as it relates to the design of a condominium apartment home. It defines quality in experiential terms, as a parameter which goes beyond measuring utility or construction. It proposes design objectives which facilitate this kind of quality which will make the environment more meaningful. Finally the design project illustrates the utilization of the objectives in a proposal for a thirty-six unit apartment condominium, situated in Lower Mount Royal, Calgary. Chapter One presents the background to this project, and outlines the process for defining the objectives. Chapter Two presents the design objectives, with a discussion of each objective and a proposed means to achieve it. Chapter Three presents the design concepts for the project. Chapter Four includes a complete set of drawings.
