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 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.
