| This thesis attempts to relate personal, everyday narrative to urban spatial and temporal narrative, as a basis for exploring the potential for architecture to express and/or accommodate novel living configurations, pedestrian movement patterns, and the passage of time. Through the design of a multi-residential building on a post-industrial waterfront site in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the project investigates how architecture might act as a mediator between diverse co-habiting residents, these residents and the city, and the city's industrial past and future civic identity. |
