Projet
AP041.S1.1967.D2
Description:
This project series documents a submission for a design competition commissioned by the Government of Canada for its pavilion at the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka, Japan. Fashioned from construction cranes and scaffolding, Melvin Charney's submission (in collaboration with Harry Parnass and Janos Barancs) garnered significant interest and media coverage, and served as a turning point away from traditional architecture practice towards public art. The competition was won by architect Arthur Erickson. Material includes presentation drawings, a photograph of the no longer existant model, and competition documents including correspondence and a copy of the competition programme.

Projet
AP075.S1.1994.PR01
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project of a roof garden for the New Canadian Embassy at Leipziger Platz in Berlin, Germany. Oberlander worked on this project in from 1999-2005 with architectural firm Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna, Blumberg Architects. Oberlander's work for the project included a terrace at the Ambassador's Level (6th floor) with mounded evergreen white flowering groundcover azaleas, cascading roses hanging along the Leipzigerstrasse facade, and a green roof on top of the building. The concept of the landscaping of the green roof was to represente Canada's land of the north in an abstract form, simulating the river system of the MacKenzie River in the Northwest Territories, linking Alberta to the Arctic Ocean. She used black-glass panels to represente the water. The drainage for the green roof was also connected the drainage infrastructure of the building to recycle the water collected from the roof. The project series includes sketches and design development drawings for the green roof landscaping, planting details and irrigation details, presentation drawings from KPMB and drawings of the building used as reference. The project is also documented through research material, concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence, including with architects, consultants, contractors and clients, proposal, specifications, and press clippings about the project. The project series also includes sample of glass tiles used for the landscaping.

Projet
AP027.S1.D21
Description:
This project series documents proposals for Expo 67 initiated by Van Ginkel Associates on their own account in 1962. These proposals were made to oppose the then official position of an exhibition site down-river from Montréal and to re-institute the idea of an "International Exhibition" rather than a "World's Fair". The proposal with a model of the site design was presented to Mayor Jean Drapeau. Work on the theme and the site continued pro bono until H.P. Daniel van Ginkel was appointed chief planner and designer of the Canadian World Exhibition corporation, shortly after its formation. As chief planner and designer for Expo 67 in the initial stages, H.P. Daniel van Ginkel was responsible for the preliminary sketch plan, implications of the choice of site, thematic development, admission policy, visitor attendance characteristics, and the relationship between main exhibition sites and external circulation. Blanche Lemco van Ginkel authored the initial theme for the exhibition.
