Description:
This project series documents the Parque Urbano in Salemi, Italy. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 41/80. The office assigned the date 1986 to this project. The project files document a competition for the Salemi urban park. The park was supposed to create a link between the oldest and newest parts of town.

It also contained a terrace with a theater, bar and skating ring. The project was not realized. Documenting this project are studies and site plans.

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. Oberlander's first goal in the redesigning of the landscape was to give better accessibility to the site. 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.

AP207.S1.2017.PR02
Description:
The project series documents "Architecture Forgiven by Nature", an installation design by Pettena in 2017. The installation consists of an old water tower at the top of a hill in Brufa, covered with a metal grill. The intention is for plants to grow from the grill and hide the tower behind vegetation. The installation also included a staircase hidden behind the metal grill to give access to the top of the tower, so it could be used as a belvedere. "An additional function therefore joins the usual one, as nature helps to integrate a banal architecture into the landscape while also changing it into a place of consciousness and better understanding of both the environment and the art world." [1] The project is also known as "Torre di Brufa". The project series contains a drawing, printouts of digital renderings, plans of the structure surrounding the water tower, and video of Pettena showing the model of the tower.
