Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

We would like students to help us with optimizing CPTED and Placemaking into our urban street festival design for our 2023 street festival in alignment with our vision, mission, and sector. We will ensure the student has a clear understanding of what these elements are for our organization.

The Perlin Foundation for Wellbeing is a public research foundation that works as a conversation curator and ecosystem connector. We work to establish year-round events and an annual fundraising festival that celebrate mental health, mental wellness, and those affected by mental illness. Our objective is to facilitate mental health education and science, blend with entertainment, and weave it all into a narrative, providing Calgarians with a deeper understanding of how we receive and process the world via cognition and emotion to generate a sense of wellbeing. Stacey Perlin's innovative designs, framework, and narratives, enable us to research this approach to wellness.

What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?

Outside of the formalized drawings:

  • Evaluate recent successful designs, preferably in our sector,
  • Identify ideal companies to eventually build our pop-up interpretive centre,
  • Create a proposal to help us evolve from the street festival in 2023 to a construction in 2025,
  • Create visual standards and/or templates for existing grant applications and proposals.

Ultimately, you'll work on the translation of initial research and designs into CAD/Revit drawings for our organization, including:

  • Related reports to support your reasoning,
  • Research to update our market assessment and competitive analysis work.

This is an opportunity to create what you'd like to see, or feel there is a need to experience, in a world that is still deciding how to talk about mental health, wellbeing, and wellness. We have a database of research and reports that are relevant to this work, in order to build trust and authority, while validating the impact of arts & culture on the public's perception of health.

About the company

Our objective is to facilitate mental health education and science, blend with entertainment, and weave it all into a narrative, providing Calgarians with a deeper understanding of how we receive and process the world via cognition and emotion to generate a sense of wellbeing. We understand that there are gaps in mental health, mental wellness, and mental illness representation.

Educating through arts & culture with a clear message of betterment for our mental health literacy, including a focus on building a sense of belonging within the ecosystem will help to address this. Addressing these gaps means the potential for improvement in how we identify and measure success in social work and medical sciences.

We define “Energy” as “the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity.” We define “Emotion” as “a natural instinctive state of mind deriving from one's circumstances, mood, or relationships with others.”
