Abstract:
This final year project presents an integrated design for a sustainable apartment complex in Ulk
Gisozi, aiming to harmonize architectural aesthetics with structural integrity. The primary
objective was to develop a robust framework that accommodates the specific needs of the
community while adhering to principles of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
The project involved a thorough site analysis and the formulation of design specifications based
on key objectives, which included enhancing safety, optimizing resource use, and minimizing
environmental impact. Detailed methodologies were applied, encompassing soil testing, load
calculations, and compliance with relevant building regulations.
Chapter Four delves into the results and discussions of the structural design, focusing on the
analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) members, including beams, columns, slabs, and walls. The
design process employed various methodologies, such as manual calculations and software tools,
to ascertain the structural viability and safety of the building.
The findings highlight the importance of incorporating sustainable practices into modern
construction, illustrating how strategic material selection and innovative design solutions can
6
lead to an efficient and durable structure. Ultimately, the project demonstrates a comprehensive
approach to contemporary apartment complex design, serving as a model for future
developments that prioritize safety, efficiency, and ecological balance.
