AP178.S1.1965.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the submission for Siza's CODA (Concurso para a Obtenção do Diploma de Arquitecto), for which he submitted his project Casa Rui Feijó in Caminha, Portugal. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number [17]/60. The office assigned the date 1965 to this project. CODA is the final step for students to obtain their architecture degree. Siza used his preliminary work for the Casa Rui Feijó to develop his submission for his CODA. This project is a vacation house with three bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, living room, service bedroom, exterior annex, garage, lounge and terrace. The original project for the home is also described in this fonds (see project series AP178.S1.1963.PR01). Documenting this project are plans and elevations. Also included are a small number of photographs and some project documentation.

Description:
The project series documents the installation "Energy FREE TREE" designed by Pettena and presented at Museion in Bozen, in 2017. The installation consists of a tower measuring eight meters high by four meters wide. The tower is built with parts, including doors, fenders, exhaust pipes, and lights, and is meant to represent a Christmas tree standing next to the museum entrance during Christmas. "The work was, in fact, meant to trigger ‘mental shortcircuits [sic]’ in order to obtain a reaction so as to introduce the subject of environmental awareness and the need of using recycled materials to reduce damages to the environment as much as possible." [1] The project series contains a video, photographs of the installation, and two drawings.

AP075.S1.1991.PR01
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly Building, situated beside Frame Lake, in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Oberlander worked on this project in 1991 with architectural firms Matsuzaki Wright Architects and Pin/Matthews. The team was selected for the project after a design competition. Architects chose to have the new assembly build on the edge of the lake, on the volcanic rock of the Canadian Shield. They used the bog of the site as a transitional space between the building and the city. Oberlander concept design was to integrate the building to the landscape with the least intervention, because of the fagile ecology of the area, and preserve the natural beauty of the landscape. In this idea, the planting for the project only comprises native plants and grasses and very few alteration were made to the existing condition of the site. The project was completed in 1994. The project series contains design development drawings, including planting plans, landscape plans, grading plans, site details, site plans, working drawings, including site plans, planting plans and grading plans, and building drawings used as reference. The project is also documented through textual records, such as correspondence, specifications, concept notes by Oberlander, financial documents, meeting notes, reports, research material and site informations, and also photographs of the construction and the completed work. The project series comprises also digital files of the Legislative Assembly development plans and facility program and digital photographs of the building.

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander’s project for the landscape design for Library Square, the new central branch of the Vancouver’s public library on West Georgia Street. Oberlander worked on this project in 1992-1995 with architect Moshe Safdie and architectural firm Downs/Archambault & Patners. Oberlander landscape design included a roof garden, planned to be accessible by the public, and terraces with integral planting of cascading roses of the southeast edge of the building. She was also consulted for the landscape for the street-level spaces: “Along the streets bordering the site, Oberlander selected tulip trees, except on W. Georgia Street where the city required maples.” [1] The project was completed in 1995. The project series contains sketches, design development drawings, including planting plans, landscape plans for the green roof and the plaza, working drawings, such as site plans, planting plans, irrigation plans, landscape sections and elevations, and drawings of the building used as reference. The project is also recorded through textual records, such as concept notes by Oberlander, research material, specifications, including landscape specifications, correspondence, including correspondence with architects, client and contractors, contract, financial documents, documents for plan selection, and press and articles on the project. The project series also includes photographs of the construction and landscaping work, and photographs of the completed project. Source: [1] Herrington, Susan.
