Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the British Columbia Institute of Technology (B.C.I.T.) site at the Discovery Parks Multi Tenant Facility, located on Willingdon Avenue, in Burnaby, British Columbia. Created in 1979, Discovery Parks is an organization with the mission to accomodate scientific and technological research activities by building and renting research installations. Initially founded by the provincial government, Discovery Parks became self-governning and independant in 1990. Oberlander worked on the Discovery Parks B.C.I.T's site from 1979-1984 with Russell Vandiver Architects. The concept of B.C.I.T's site was to create a park like environment for an industrial research site. The site was surrounded by a woodland and included a wetland. To reflect the existing condition of her landscape design, Oberlander added a rentention pool and a restored woodland, creating a urban forest using native plants. The project was completed in 1982. The project series contains textual documents, such as correspondence with client and architects, financial documents, minutes of meetings, specifications and Oberlander's concept notes. The project is also documented through working drawings, including grading plans, irrigation plans, landscape plans and sites plans. It also included reference drawings of the site, photographs of the completed landscape and a mounted photographs of the a section of the landscape design by Oberlander.

CD034.S1.1974.PR03
Description:
This project series contains reproductions of drawings and photographs displayed in the exhibit to document the Antas neighbourhood, in Porto, Portugal. The exhibit text explained that: ... the SAAL Brigade intervened at the heart of an urban area which then became subject to redevelopments after the construction of the first units. The original proposal and the completed phases contrast the scale of later operations and change the perception of the original project. Nonetheless, the architectural design addressed a difficult terrain, and maintained the specificities of the urban 'ilhas' (islands) by incorporating a vernacular character, which the residents appropriated and transformed even further overtime. (The SAAL Process, Housing in Portugal 1974–76) The project architect Pedro Ramalho worked for SAAL/North with Aires Pereira, Augusto Costa, Francisco M. Lima, José Lencastre, Lídia Costa, Pedro B. Araújo, Teresa Fonseca, Vítor Bastos and the residents' association Antas, that was founded on Septermber 1st, 1975. The first phase of the project included 32 dwellings and the second, 50 dwellings. The operation began in October 1974, with a construction date in October 1975. This project series contains reproductions of design development drawings, implementation plans, axonometric views and photographic material. The original drawings and photographs were produced in 1975 and 1976 and were reproduced in 2015 for the exhibit.

AP075.S1.1952.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design for Schuylkill Falls, a public housing development on Ridge Avenue, in the East Falls neighbourhood of Philadelphia. Oberlander worked on this project from 1952-1955, after she was recruited by architect Oskar Stonorov. Oberlander worked on the landscaping with Dan Kiley. The project was initally divided in six phases and was planned to spread across five city blocks. One of the phases included the construction of two sixteen-storey housing towers, but only one was built. The building was demolished in 1996. The project series contains five landscape plans for all five city blocks project and a set of landscape specifications, the first written by Oberlander.
