Projet
AP075.S1.2007.PR02
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's work for the renewal of Robson Square in Vancouver. This project series concerns work on Robson Square grounds starting from the mid 2000s to early 2010s to which Oberlander participated as landscape architect or consultaing landscape architect. Oberlander worked with Arthur Erickson on the earliest revitalisation projects, but also with other architectural firms, including Grout McTavish Architects. It includes revitisation works, such as sunken plaza revitalization, the Nelson Street Plaza revitalisation, addition of a 'grass wave' or a mound in 2008 for the North Plaza, renovations for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Games, and Ice Rink Expansion and Revitalisation of Ice Rink Plaza. The project series contains predominantly textual records, including correspondence with client, architects, consultants and contractors, specifications, including landscape specifications, minutes of projects meetings, inspections reports and press clippings and articles on the revitalisation projects. The project is also documented through landscape drawings, such as planting plans, irrigation and grading plans, landscape sections, and details for planters. It also includes sets of building plans used as reference and digital photographs of planting and landscape maintenance. Project series comprises documents related to the preservation of Robson Square, including documentation, articles and clippings, and correspondence.

Description:
The Projects sub-series, circa 1990 – 2000, consists of 61 video recordings relating to specific works in transformable design completed by Hoberman in the early years of his career. Material consists of MiniDV cassettes, Betacam SP cassettes, DVCAM cassettes, and Hi-8 cassettes. The majority of the records date from the mid to late 90’s to early 2000’s. Video recordings in this sub-series document projects such as: 6-meter expanding sphere as a permanent central exhibit at the Liberty Science Center, Jersey City, USA, 1991; Working scale model and section of a 60-foot diameter Iris Dome at The Museum of Modern Art, New York City, USA 1994; expanding sphere as a permanent atrium sculpture at Otaru Bay City Center, Sapporo, Japan 1998; six 2-meter diameter expanding spheres at Museo Interactivo Mirador, Santiago, Chile 1999; retractable dome for World’s Fair installed in front of the German Pavilion Expo 2000 World’s Fair, Hannover, Germany, 2000; 72-foot diameter retractable arch for Olympics Medal Plaza at 2002 Olympic Winter Games Salt Lake City, USA, 2002.

Virtools files
AP167.S1.SS3
Description:
Sub-series 3, Virtools files, 1995—2013, contains files generated and coordinated by Virtools, a 3D visualization software used to make the Muscle move, respond to users, and play sound. It includes Virtools files, HTML files, audiovisual files (MP3s, WAVs and MPEGs), JPEGs, and applications. There are also a small number of CAD files, including 3DS, Maya, and AutoCad formats. The Virtools proprietary formats include composition files (.cmo), player files (.vmo), object files (.nmo) and scripts files (.nms). Virtools object files and scripts files may be combined and saved as composition files using Virtools Dev, CAD-like software that also coordinates sound and movement. (Virtools Dev is located in file AP167.S1.SS3.002, Virtools software and NSA Muscle composition and player files.) From Virtools Dev, a composition file can be exported to HTML or a player file. The HTML exports no longer work due to a missing JavaScript plugin. Player files and composition files can be played back in the Virtools player; the player also allows the user to interact with player files and behaves much like a video game interface. See file AP167.S1.SS3.008, NSA Muscle interface. Of note, the Virtools player file containing the NSA Muscle interface used at the Architecture non standard exhibition at the Centre George Pompidou is located in this sub-series. See item muscle.bat in file AP167.S1.SS3.008, NSA Muscle interface. There are also a number of other Virtools player files that allow the user to alter and interact with a virtual representation of a structure, which demonstrate ONL’s experimentation with the intersection of architecture and video game design. See file AP 167.S1.SS3.001, Early Virtools experimentation and architecture games.
