Project Background

Design an Interactive Exhibit at the East Village Riverwalk that will “Change Calgary for the Better”. Take your audience through

a journey of information that provides an interactive experience, while educating,

entertaining, and leading to positive action.

Explore the concept of “Changing Calgary for the Better”. The theme of this change is up to you. It may be Social, Environmental,

Political, Cultural etc. in nature. For example, you might want to get more

Calgarians to ride their bikes or reduce their water waste, you may want to showcase

under-represented local heroes, or get citizens to better appreciate certain arts or

local history. Do some-thing that you are passionate about.

Idea develoPmentTheme and concept:

The theme for my exhibit is Calgary’s urban planning and development and the effects it has on a sense of community and the city’s economy.

Using multiple municipal and provincial sources of information I have evaluated trends within Calgary’s urban planning over time. This concept is cohesive with the goals of the East Village (where the exhibit will be located), a master-planned urban village.

This exhibit will explore the benefits of developing vibrant and culturally-rich areas and and the effects of these areas on Calgary as a whole.

The five areas focused on are Accessibility, Culture, Community, Housing, and Transportation.
