Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's design for the interior and exterior landscape of National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Oberlander worked on this project from 1983-1995 with architects Moshe Safdie and John C. Parkin. Oberlander's overall concept for the landscaping was based on the building organizational pattern of a city. She created "a pathway system that connected the front of the National Gallery to Nepean Point behind the gallery." [1] Oberlander landscape design includes the design of three exterior area and a courtyard. Each space is design in relations to the art displayed in the immediate indoor gallery: the Taiga Garden "flanks the gallery's interior glass-and-concrete collonade that leads to the Canadian and Aboriginal Art galleries." [2]; the Minimalist Courtyard relates to the modern art collection gallery; the zigzag-shaped pathway passes between the National War Museum and the new gallery; and interior courtyard links the restored ninetheeth-century Rideau Chapel relocated inside the National Gallery and provides and church-like atmosphere. The project series contains textual records, including specifications, correspondence, documentation, financial documents, plant lists, press clippings about the project, and Oberlander's concept development notes. The project is also recorded through photographic materials, such as slides and photographs of the construction of the building and the landscape work and the photographs of the completed project. The project series also includes conceptual drawings, design develepment drawings, working drawings and presentation drawings, including landscape plans, planting plans, grading and irrigation plans and building plans used as reference.

Description:
This project series documents the Edifício de Escritórios na Av. D. Afonso Henriques, in Porto, also referred to as Avenida da Ponte I. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 31/60. In the past the office identified the project as number 121. The office assigned the dates 1968-1974 for this project. The Edifício de Escritórios na Av. D. Afonso Henriques consisted of a building with offices, stores, and parking. Located on a historic site, the intention for the Edifício de Escritórios was to integrate the building into the existing urban landscape. The building was never realized. This project was done in relation to the Arranjo Urbanístico para a Av. D. Afonso Henriques, which was an urban renewal program in Porto. In the 1940s, waves of demolition in the old town created a rupture with the remaining buildings, including the Porto Cathedral. Since the 1950s, there have been several studies and proposals to revitalize this part of the city. Siza’s plan was the first to be accepted by the city council in 1968. Please see project series AP178.S1.1968.PR03, also described in this fonds, for further documentation. Siza also proposed a new design in 2001 for the site across the avenue from this one, known as Avenida da Ponte II. This included a museum, library, stores, parking, and houses. This project related to the building Casa Dos 24 Fernando Távora. The scheme was not realized. Documenting this project series are drawings, photographic materials and textual documentation. Among the drawings are plans, profiles, elevations, sections, cadastral maps and working details. Photographic materials document the model, site and residents of the neighborhood. Textual materials include project documentation, as well as correspondence with the city of Porto and suppliers. Note that materials related to the Arranjo Urbanístico para a Av. D. Afonso Henriques (project series AP178.S1.1968.PR03 in this fonds) are also found among these materials.

Description:
This project series documents the Edifício de Escritórios na Av. D. Afonso Henriques, in Porto, also referred to as Avenida da Ponte I. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 31/60. In the past the office identified the project as number 121. The office assigned the dates 1968-1974 for this project. The Edifício de Escritórios na Av. D. Afonso Henriques consisted of a building with offices, stores, and parking. Located on a historic site, the intention for the Edifício de Escritórios was to integrate the building into the existing urban landscape. The building was never realized. This project was done in relation to the Arranjo Urbanístico para a Av. D. Afonso Henriques, which was an urban renewal program in Porto. In the 1940s, waves of demolition in the old town created a rupture with the remaining buildings, including the Porto Cathedral. Since the 1950s, there have been several studies and proposals to revitalize this part of the city. Siza’s plan was the first to be accepted by the city council in 1968. Please see project series AP178.S1.1968.PR03, also described in this fonds, for further documentation.
