Description:
This file documents the executed project for the Prospecta Toyama '92 Observatory Tower in Imizu, Toyama, Japan. Like the Galaxy Toyama Gymnasium, this project was designed in conjunction with the 1st Japan Expo Toyama in 1992. The 30 x 32 x 32 metre structure, built at the top of a 61,2 metre hill, serves as a platform to observe the surrounding landscape. The centre court is designed and equipped for the creation of a performance with sound, light and fog. The file is chiefly composed of design development and presentation drawings but includes some conceptual drawings and material related to theme development. There are also site plans and information about the 1st Japan Expo Toyama 1992. There is a small amount of correspondence in the form of facsimile transmissions. Working drawings include a set of structural drawings. Presentation material includes a model and bound copies and drafts of proposals. There are some digital prints of computer-generated perspectives, one in the form of a presentation panel. There is also some documentation for the development of the name and logo for the structure. A small album contains photographs of the built work. There is some promotional material for the tower and for the park in which it is situated. There are also clippings from published documents. Material in this file was produced between 1990 and 1993. .

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for the grounds of the Museum of Anthropology located on the northern end of the University of British Columbia campus. Oberlander worked on this project from 1975-1976 with architect Arthur Erickson. The project was completed in 1976. Due to the location of museum on the Northwest Coast First Nations site, the building was designed to evoke a First Nations longhouse. Oberlander concept for the landscaping was inspired by the Northwest Coast First Nations culture. It initally included a reflecting pool to represent the coastal inlet and an ethnobotanically significant selection of plants. However some features from the original design, such as the reflecting pool and some of the indegenious planting, weren't realized until the mid-2000s. The shield the site from the noise of the busy NW Marine Drive, located next to the grounds, Oberlander included "a series of large mounds planted with Haida seed mix". [1] The project series contains reprographic copies of working drawings, including landscape plans, landscape sections and details, grading and irrigation plans, planting plans, and site plans. The project is also documented through textual records, including specification, correspondence with architects and clients, inspection reports, and some handwritten notes by Oberlander. The project series also comprises photographs of the museum site.

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlnader's landscape project for the C. K. Choi Building of the Institute of Asian Research at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project from 1993-1995 with architectural firm Matsuzaki Wright Architects. The project consisted in creating a environmentally responsible building as well as for the landscape design. In this idea, Oberlander's landscape design only included native plans that need little maintenance, to avoid the usage of pesticides, and allow the use of organic fertilizers. She also selected trees valued as excellent absorbers of air polluants for the planting on the street edge. [1] The project was completed in 1995. The project series includes sketches design development drawings, including landscape plans, landscape details and sections, presentation drawings, working drawings, such as site plans, grading plans, and planting details, and building construction drawings used as reference.The project is also documented through concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence with architects, clients and consultants, documents related to plant selection, specifications, financial documents, and some press clippings and promotional material about the project. The project series also includes photographs of the landscaping work. Sources: [1] Herrington, Susan.

A terraced façade featuring a hanging garden with trees and roses was design as a way of extending the John Marshall Park up to the roof of the building. The project series contains sketches and working drawings for the landscaping, including planting plans, irrigation plans, planters details, sections and planters irrigation plans, and architectural plans provided for reference use. It also contains photographs of the building and the courtyard landscaping.

The design included a paved courtyard accessible through Pennsylvania Avenue and John Marshall Place Park. Oberlanded connected the park, designed by landscape architect Carol L. Johnson in 1983, to the Chancery site by adding a paving area in place of the closed street separating the two blocks. A terraced façade featuring a hanging garden with trees and roses was design as a way of extending the John Marshall Park up to the roof of the building. The project series contains sketches and working drawings for the landscaping, including planting plans, irrigation plans, planters details, sections and planters irrigation plans, and architectural plans provided for reference use. It also contains photographs of the building and the courtyard landscaping. The project is also documented through textual records, including concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence with clients, architects, suppliers and consultants, specifications, meetings notes, financial documents, promotional material and articles on the project.
