Social issues in design practice: Learning from a community-based project in Sackville, New Brunswick. - 201 p.

Advisers: Rosalind Sydie; Jorge Frascara.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2002.

This dissertation is based on a two and a half year (1998–2001) case study that focused on social interactions in relation to a building project in the community of Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. The study discusses the planning, design and construction of the Tantramar Regional Civic Centre—a public and recreational amenity for the town and surrounding region. The case study examines the ways in which accumulated knowledge informed practical action in the interplay of community life and the built environment. Qualitative research methods developed and commonly applied by anthropologists and sociologists were used in conducting fieldwork and collecting and analyzing data.

520 $a This dissertation is based on a two and a half year (1998–2001) case study that focused on social interactions in relation to a building project in the community of Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. The study discusses the planning, design and construction of the Tantramar Regional Civic Centre—a public and recreational amenity for the town and surrounding region. The case study examines the ways in which accumulated knowledge informed practical action in the interplay of community life and the built environment. Qualitative research methods developed and commonly applied by anthropologists and sociologists were used in conducting fieldwork and collecting and analyzing data.
520 $a My primary goal in this dissertation was to contribute critical insights into what I consider reflective and responsible design practice, and in particular how this practice can be transformed and enriched by an interdisciplinary approach. The literature and theory review draws a contextual map for the case study and my discussion on design as a social practice while presenting ideas and works that form the basis for historical and contemporary discourse on urban theory, urban design and design practice. Integral to an expanded notion of design practice is recognition of the complexity of human existence. Design can transcend traditional disciplinary understandings related exclusively to form-giving to engage with popular culture, increase technological and environmental awareness, and acknowledge the gendered behaviours and power discourses of everyday living
520 $a In this dissertation I have referred to the combined effort of individuals and groups involved in the Tantramar Regional Civic Centre project: the architect, myself, and other community members and professionals, as I attempt to identify and discuss the particular contribution of the designer in this context. Evaluation of the principles of design practice employed included an assessment of how the designer was able to adhere to historically established criteria for design practice such as professional rigour, technical knowledge, skills of communication and collaboration; and an assessment of how the designer was able to adapt these principles to the specific social and cultural setting
