Description:
The project series documents Melvin Charney's work for the design competition for the Royal Canadian Air Force Memorial (RCAF) at the National Air Force Museum of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario. The project was identified by Charney as the MEMO Series. The competition called for the design of a building of “appropriate character” which would commemorate “the birth and growth of Canadian aviation”. The competition program was very specific, requesting a building on a predefined site, with rooms designed for specific activities. MEMO was formally submitted by Charney and consisted of 91 pages of plans, designs, photographs and instructions on 335-5136 metric graph paper. Instead of constituting a true design for a building, MEMO consists of pages of memorandums intended for the organizers of the competition. The memos describe different ideas of how to conceptualize “the birth and growth of Canadian aviation”, as a critical response to what Charney saw as a “narrowness” in the competition’s vision. Charney referred to the idea of erecting a “singular building in an isolated part of the country” and considering it a memorial as being a “restrictive if not repressive act”.

AP075.S1.1990.PR03
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design for the United Nations Peacekeeping Monument in Ottawa, Ontario. Oberlander worked on this from 1990-1993 with Richard Henriquez & Partners and sculptor Jack Harmon. Together, they won the design competition organized by the National Capital Commission in 1990. The monument is situated between the National Gallery of Canada and the United States Embassy, between St. Patrick Street and Murray Street. The monument consists in three bronze cast figures of peacekeeping soldiers on a granite slab. Oberlander elaborated the planting scheme and designed "an oval grove of twelve oak trees representing Canada's ten provinces and two territories [...]" [1], except Nunavut that was still included in the Northwest Territories at the time. The project was completed in 1993. Project series contains ten landscape working drawings, including a site plan, landscape sections, planting and grading plans, and an irrigations plan. The project is also documented through textual records, including design competition information documents, competition proposal, correspondence with architects, client and consultants, specifications, financial documents, press about the project and photographs of the construction and the inauguration of the monument.
