AP075.S1.1992.PR05
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Liu Centre for Global Studies at University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project in 1994 with architect Arthur Erickson and architectural firm Aitken Wreglesworth Associates. The overwall concept for the project was to design an environmentally responsible building and landscape. Situated at the north edge of a mature costal forest, the main concern of the landscape design was to avoid effecting the existing woodland. Oberlander preserved all existing mature trees on the site and used only native plants and grasses. The design of the building was also though to minimize any impact on the surrounding forest, by avoiding machineries on site or pruning of existing trees. The project also included a green roof, also design by Oberlander. The project was completed in 2000. The project series includes sketches, design development drawings, including landscape plans, landscape details and planting plans, working drawings, such as planting plans and details for the green roof, and working drawings for the building used as reference. The project series also comprises a proposal, concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence with clients, architects and consultants, meetings notes, financial documents, specifications and some promotional material and press clippings on the building. The project is also documented through photographs of landscaping work.

AP075.S1.1961.PR01
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Skeena Terrace Low Rent Housing Project, a housing development located on the eastern edge of Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project between 1961 and 1965. The architectural firm in charge of the project was Underwood, McKinley, Cameron, Wilson & Smith Architects. The project was comprised of an eight-storey apartment tower and twenty-seven three-storey maisonettes. Oberlander was in charge of the landscape design for the twelve-acre site. The project initially included the construction of a roadway cutting the site in two, but was never built due to protests from the community. Oberlander's landscape plan included a design for an outdoor terrace and garden areas for the maisonnettes, a community garden and numerous recreational and social spaces. She also designed play scultpures for small children. The project series contains design development drawings, including landscape plans and planting plans, working drawings, including a site plan and planting plans, a specifications addendum, an invitation to the official inauguration of the project, and photographs, which are mostly of the construction site.

Description:
The project series documents the landscape design "Montagne Naturali" designed by Pettena for the Montellori estate and farm, in Fucecchio, near Florence), in 2014. The installation consisted of a series of metal trellises of various shapes and sizes on which grew shrubs and bushes to create a wall to hide the farming machinery. "[...] architecture is given what is due architecture, that is structure and functionality, and nature is granted the final result, which will not necessarily coincide with the intentions of the designer, whose intervention is predominantly ‘an oneiric quotation’." [1] The project series contains sketches and a booklet with a sketch, plans of the trellises, and drawings.
