Description:
This box contains professional correspondence, organized in chronological order, from 1958-1993, with a bulk of documents dated from 1978-1993. This correspondence contains chiefly letters related to publishing in landscape architecture publications, correspondence with schools of architecture and landscape architects associations, such as the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects, about membership or attendance to events. It also comprises correspondence related to research on play and playgrounds, collaboration with organizations for children education, research and involvement in sustainable development. It also contains correspondence with city planning committees or other governmental institutions related to projects or consultation in landscape design, and letters of reference or offer of services. This correspondence also comprises a few letters related to Oberlander's projects such as Children's Creative Centre Playground at Expo '67 in Montréal, University of British Columbia Faculty Club additions (which includes correspondence with Arthur Erickson), the Museum of Anthropology. It includes mainly letters of congratulations or comments for her design.

Description:
Series 1, Three Dimensional Trading Floor, 1990 - 2009, relates to Asymptote Architecture’s design of a virtualized NYSE Trading Floor that visualized real-time numerical and statistical data. This series includes textual, born-digital, and audiovisual components, as well as digital artefacts, and chiefly dates from 1997 to 2002. The intent of the New York Stock Exchange Three Dimensional Trading Floor (3DTF) was to detect suspicious trading activity, track the impact of global news events on the market and potentially predict a crash before it happened. In order to achieve this technically, Asymptote worked with Silicon Graphics Incorporated (SGI) RealityEngine hardware which had been built specifically for these visualization-intensive applications. They also worked with Softimage and Alias software for modeling, rendering and animating, and VRML (Virtual Reality Markup Language) and Macromedia Flash in order to integrate real-time data into a navigable three-dimensional environment. The main elements of the virtual environment include posts, containers, and back wall. The two container types, Index Container (IC) and Group Container (GC), allow for visualization and comparison of stock histories and behaviors. The posts display stock information, corresponding heat maps on floors, and alerts. The back wall integrates live news broadcasts. Materials in this series are largely digital and primarily include still raster images and video demonstrating 3DTF functionality. There is also a small body of CAD material in Maya, Alias, Microstation, and Form-Z formats. Other digital materials include Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML) files, HTML files, Silicon Graphics Images databases, research material, press kits, presentations, and handout files. The textual records are largely materials that were handed out at presentation meetings for each phase of the project. These typically illustrate major virtual components of 3DTF, like the heat maps and posts, and overlap significantly with the related digital files. There is also one VHS tape which compiles nearly twenty minutes of animated renderings. Finally, this series includes 43 CDs. The CDs were processed and are included as part of the digital records; the CDs themselves were kept in instances where they may have artefactual value, especially if they were visually interesting or informationally important.
