Six Acres: The Residence & Office of Edmonton Architectural Partnership, Wallbridge & Imrie
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis thesis investigates the architectural and historical significance of Six Acres, the residence and office of Wallbridge & Imrie, Architects in Edmonton, Alberta. Through a detailed examination of this unique property, it addresses broader themes of domesticity, house design, and the role of women in architecture, while situating Six Acres within the mid-20th century architectural landscape of Alberta. Six Acres exemplifies Wallbridge & Imrie's design philosophy, merging living and working spaces in a way that reflects their personal and professional values. The study aims to document a complete history of Six Acres, serving as a comprehensive guide and illuminating often overlooked aspects of architectural history. Structured into five key sections—The Architects, The Building, The Property, The 'Afterlife,' The Afterword—the thesis provides a thorough analysis of Six Acres and its impact on architectural discourse. It challenges conventional narratives and contributes to a nuanced understanding of mid-century modernism in Alberta, Canada.
