2003-2004
Project
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design proposal for the Calgary Law Courts, located on the city block between 6th and the 7th Avenue, in Calgary, Alberta. This project was part of a design competition in 2004. Oberlander concept for the landscape consisted in depicting Albert's natural landscape of the Rockies, the foothills, and the prairie. The Rockies were to be recreated with excavation material from the site and would include a water feature spilling in a elongated water basins in the foothills, transforming into the prairie represented by tall grasses. Large lawn and bosque of Aspen trees would represente the City and provides shade and seating areas. The planting plan included the use of low maintenance and indigenous plants. The project also included a green roof on top of the Council Chamber and was planned to allow the reuse of storm water. The project was not realized.
The project series contains perspective drawings and site plans showing planters concept, and a complete set of building plans used as reference. The project is also documented throught correspondence, including correspondence with architects, consultants and clients, competition information, competition proposal, including landscape concept proposal by Oberlander, financial documents and photographs of the site.
Material in this project series was kept in its original order when it was first processed upon its arrival at CCA.
