Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for a therapeutic roof garden for the Vancouver General Hospital, Burns and Plastics Unit, in Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project from 2000 to 2002. The project consisted in a participatory design of a concrete roof terrace with the use of aluminium planters and trellises fabricated by the German firm Benz & Fischer. Oberlander worked with students of the University of British Columbia who made the design studies and documented the site features, including sun and shadow patterns, noises and wind direction. Shelagh Smith, a horticultural therapist, organized the participatory design process with patients, staff, visitors and volunteers from the hospital. Oberlander developed a planting plan with low maintenant plants, plants with different flowering periods to provide interest througout the seasons, and vines and clematis for the trellis to provide shade for the users of the terrace. The project series contains eight design development drawings, including two landscape drawings and planting plans. The project is also documented through concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence, including correspondence with client, contractors, consultants and suppliers, documents related to the plants selection, specifications, research material, press clipping on the project, and photographs of the completed roof terrace.
