Project
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.

AP018.S1.1976.PR19
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building and planning for additional projects in North York, Ontario from 1976-1983. The office identified the project number as 7626. The project consisted of a ten storey office building located at 1500 Don Mills Road with approximately 250,000 square feet of space. Owned and commissioned by Marathon Realty, the majority of the building's space was designed for rental. The ground floor of the building was to host retail spaces and a connection to local transit. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I was the construction of this office building and Phase II was the construction of an additional office building and a parking structure on the same property. Under this project number, only Phase I was realized, with the additional buildings receiving their own project numbers from the office later on. The project is recorded through drawings, construction progress photographs, textual records and a mounted work of art dating from 1974-1983. The textual records include correspondence, site reports, tests and inspections, meeting minutes and reports, specifications, tenders documents, detail planning records, change orders, supplementary instructions and financial records. Also included is an article written by John C. Parkin for Canadian Architect on the development of the property, which previously hosted his own offices until their demolition before the start of this project (see box AP018.S1.1976.PR19.025). Box AP018.S1.1976.PR19.025 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
