AP075.S1.1952.PR02
Description:
This project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape design for the Mill Creek Public Housing Complex between 40th Street, Aspen Street, and Fairmount Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Oberlander worked on this project in the early 1950s as Dan Kiley's associate. They both were consulting for Louis Kahn's office, Kahn, McAllister, Braik, & Day. The first phase of the project consisted of a complex of three seventeen-storey apartment towers accomodating 218 units on a four-acre site. The landscape design consisted of a system of pedestrian areas to connect the site with the city, including a central alley linking Fairmount Avenue to a common green space. Trees to provide shade were planted around the parking spaces and the housing towers. The project was completed in 1954, but most of the landscaping by Kiley and Oberlander was never realized. The Mill Creek complex was demolished in 2002 to make space for the new low-rise public housing development. The project series contains only two reprographic copies of landscape plans.

Description:
This project series documents a feasibility study for Imperial Oil Limited in North York, Ontario in 1977. The office identified the project number as 7701. This project consisted of a study to determine the feasibility of expanding the Imperial Oil Limited building located the corner of Don Mills Road and Eglington Avenue. The original award-winning building was designed and built by the firm of John B. Parkin Associated from 1960-1962 and used as the Ontario region office. This study looked at different site schemes including an addition to the existing building or the possibility of constructing a separate building or buildings. Each scheme investigated different building heights and locations on the property but all were divided into 2 phases of construction. The study also looked into the possibility of adding a large, multi-storey parking garage to the property. The project is recorded through drawings dating from1976-1977. The drawings are roughly half originals and half reprographic copies, the majority of which are site plans. Also included is an area plan of the region prepared by the North York Planning Board.

Description:
This project series documents the Plano de Expansão da Cidade de Macau (Areia P. e Porto E.) in Macau, China. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 16/80. The office assigned the date 1982 to this project. Macau is a Chinese-Portuguese peninsula near the Pear River Delta on the south coast of China. After 1950, the speedy industrial growth caused massive waves of immigration and created housing problems. Macau's governement wanted to reorganize the urban landscape in order to readapt the territory to the economic and political realities. Siza was hired by the P&T Group as part of a team of specialist-consultants to rethink the districts of Areia Preta and Porto Exterior. A first proposal was submitted in 1984. The proposed plans were accepted by the authorities years later, but never realized due to the construction of hotels and casinos instead of housing. Documenting this project are studies, plans and project site plans. Textual materials include project documentation and correspondence. Photographic materials document the models and project site. These materials date from 1981-2012.
