There is an opportu­nity for industrial designers to positively impact these developments and design artifacts for the public spaces that appropriately address and respond to their location and as a result positively affect community interaction. The goal of this project was to increase community interaction through an industrial design intervention where the design intervention is the design of a public artifact or system modified by cultural ergonomics and design for ex­perience. This particular design solution was focused on the new residential development Charlotteville in New Providence, The Bahamas and the design solution was informed by the literature review, contact research and unobtrusive research. Analysis and coding of this research lead to a number of themes that provided the direction for the conceptualization. The final design intervention is an ensemble of four interactive musical instruments de­signed for outdoor use. All of the instruments are percussion in nature with three drum-type instruments and one bell instrument.225 leaves : ill. ; 30 cm.engUniversity of Calgary graduate students retain copyright ownership and moral rights for their thesis.
