Architectural projects
AP056.S1
Description:
The Architectural Projects series, 1984-2003, records 125 architectural projects from Canada, the United States, Germany and Switzerland. These projects include university buildings and campuses, public spaces, civic buildings, offices, interior and industrial design, residences, museums, theatres and concert halls, a winery, and retail stores. The projects include built work, proposals and competition entries. Projects were identified and separated based on distinct project numbers assigned by the creating office, along with the project dates and titles when further clarification was necessary. The project numbering scheme used by the office was not consistent, but most of the numbers are four digits and begin with last two digits of the project start year. These projects are recorded primarily through drawings, but some photographs, paintings, textual records, periodicals, and models are also included in this series. The majority of drawings for each project are originals and a large part of reprographic copies have annotations. The drawings for each project typically consist of surveys, sketches, plans, sections, elevations, axonometric drawings, details, perspectives, and drawings issued for construction. Some of the drawings are mounted for presentation purposes. A large number of furnishing drawings are also included for interior design projects. Photographs in this series show finished work completed by the firm, the project models, and reproductions of drawings and paintings. The paintings in this series are mostly watercolours used for presentation. The textual records are very sparse in this series and consist of rough notes used to supplement drawings. The periodicals are magazines that highlight the completed projects. The amount of materials for each project vary greatly, with built projects having the most complete records and project proposals having the least.

Project
AP075.S1.2016.PR01
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's work as a consulting landscape architect for the restauration of the landscape of the Canada Pavilion at Venice Biennale site, in Venice, Italy. Oberlander worked on this project in 2016 with Enns Gauthier Landscape Architects and in collaboration with the National Gallery of Canada.

Her design consisted in creating paths to connect the Canadian Pavilion to the neighbouring British and German Pavilions, and also paths and plateforms to give access to the site that includes a cafe and a belvedere. The restored pavilion was unveiled at the 16th Venice Biennale in 2018 The project series contains predominantly presentation drawings, such as site plans, grading plants, plating plans, and details. The project is also documented through correspondence with landscape architects, proposal by Oberlander, reports, minutes of meetings, and documentation.
