Abstract
How can architects and designers build a healthier relationship with construction workers? To answer
this question I will design a mixed use condominium prototype. My design will focus on creating a respectful
and understanding relationship with the companies involved in the construction process. The research for
this project will include qualitative, correlation, and simulation methods. Qualitative research will analyze
how construction workers are viewing the projects they are given. The qualitative research will work hand in
hand with finding the correlation between the issues among each profession. The simulation method can be
used to reinforce my research by showing the building process. I will be interviewing multiple people from
every profession to assess the problems between them, and then come up with a prototype to build a
healthier relationship between the two professions.
