Description:
Part of a miscellaneous group of visual and textual documents collected by Oswald Mathais Ungers, apparently to represent the work of artists/architects in Die gläserne Kette. This group includes both text and drawings from Die gläserne Kette, as well as other correspondence. Texts are mostly reprographic copies of letters, with a few typescripts and manuscripts. The documents were accessioned as received in a grey folder inscribed with Taut's name and pseudonum and including a smaller paper folder inscribed "Not published."

Description:
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.

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.

Description:
This project, 1994-2001, contains material related to the Ost/Kuttner Apartment, a built residential project in New York City. Described by its clients as “Cleopatra’s submarine,” the O/K Apartment converts two adjacent units in a pre-World War II building in New York into a single but divisible space. The Apartment is organized into areas defined less by their programmatic identity—bathroom, bedroom, living room—than by a series of undulating landscapes made up of custom, function-bridging forms, which KOL/MAC developed by digitally compositing cross-sections of everyday domestic objects. To produce the pieces, the architects worked intensively with contractors in a process directly informed by computer-aided fabrication in a variety of fields including ship-building, bobsled design, and stage design. The digital project records are largely in word processing formats, namely Microsoft Word for Mac and ClarisWorks, as well as images in TIF, JPEG, and Mac Pict image formats. There are also a large number of Microstation CAD drawings. There are two major groupings within the digital material: First, there is a body of video and still images. These consist of screen captures of renderings and other digital models. There are also images and HTML for a related website, a photograph viewer showing pictures of a built, physical model of the apartment. Of note, there are two videos which document the early construction of the Apartment, as well as the construction of the shower/bed. The second grouping consists of construction and design documentation. This consists of correspondence, invoices, and other word processing documents which show KOL/MAC’s work with the client, contractor, engineer, and other stakeholders. They also contain a large number of design files and images which document the evolving design of the Apartment. KOL/MAC versioned their working files at certain intervals, and each version represents a snapshot of the working files at a particular time. There is a substantial amount of duplication across these files. There is also a physical component to the records, including three material samples from the apartment, as well as 28 floorplans for the bid set, 6 floorplans, and 2 blueprints. There is also .3 linear meters of textual records which document KOL/MAC’s work with the client, contractor, and sub-contractor during construction.

The installation consists of a small mound of sand on which is placed a plastic open suitcase and plastic cuttings that represent the mountains from Pettena's childhood landscape. This work by Pettena is a "metaphor for any possible personal interpretation of the universal theme of the landscape, bestow on it an artistic significance, the charge carried by the values of poetry, of the memory of a space and a time that here also acquire, thanks to the context, the “Mediterranean” dimension, reinforced by the presence of sand and the essential character of the setting."
