Project
AP206.S1.1982.PR16
Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for clusters of housing blocks in Navi Mumbai, likely sometime in the 1980s or 1990s. The project, proposed for the Kalamboli region of the city, consisted of the site development of diamond shaped housing blocks, each with a sports field in its centre courtyard. Two circular commerce blocks were also planned for the neighbourhood, as well as spaces for a school, playground, public utilities and community services. The project is recorded through original drawings of site plans and elevations, probably dating from sometime in the 1980s-1990s. It should be noted that the previous name of Navi Mumbai was New Bombay, which is the name used on these materials.

AP075.S1.1952.PR02
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design for the Mill Creek Public Housing Complex between 40th Street, Aspen Street, and Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Oberlander worked on this project in the early 1950s as Dan Kiley's associate. They both were consulting for Louis Kahn's office, Kahn, McAllister, Braik, & Day. The first phase of the project consisted of a complex of three seventeen-storey apartment towers accomodating 218 units on a four-acre site. The landscape design consisted of a system of pedestrian areas to connect the site with the city, including a central alley linking Fairmount Avenue to a common green space. Trees to provide shade were planted around the parking spaces and the housing towers. The project was completed in 1954, but most of the landscaping by Kiley and Oberlander was never realized. The Mill Creek complex was demolished in 2002 to make space for the new low-rise public housing development. The project series contains only two reprographic copies of landscape plans.
