Description:
This project series documents Richmond City Hall in Richmond, British Columbia from 1997-2000. The office identified the project number as 9710, although some project materials also refer to the project number as 9709. This project, headed by Bruce Kuwabara, was a joint venture between Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects and Vancouver-based Hotson Bakker Architects. The project consisted of a new civic space at the corner of Granville Avenue and No 3 Road, built on the grounds of the original city hall, that included a three-component building. These components included the circular Council Chamber at the forefront, an eight-storey administrative tower, and a long, two-storey Meeting House all surrounding a new civic square. The Meeting House connected the interior elements to outdoor spaces, which include a series of courtyards, gardens and water features. [1] The material palette for the building's exterior included an aluminum curtain wall with several types of glass finishes and wood accents. This project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials, paintings, textual records and a project model dating from 1997-1999. The drawings are mostly original sketches, but some plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details are also included. There are also a number of presentation materials, which include text on the design concept, digital renderings, photographs of the model and paintings.

Projet
AP075.S1.2006.PR01
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the restauration of the Evergreen Building, a ten-story office tower on West Pender Street, in Vancouver, British Columbia. The building was previously known as the Laxton Building. The project consisted in renovations work to the building, design by architect Arthur Erickson in the 1980. Oberlander herself worked with Erickson at the time. After helping to save the building from demolition in the early 2000s, Oberlander worked as a landscape consultant for Omicron Architecture Engineering Construction Co. in 2006-2007. She was consulted for the restoration of the landscaping at the street level and the replanting of the planted balconies she had created while working with Erickson. As the building facade consisted in a stepped facade with an alternance of zigzag floor plates and straight floor plates, Oberlander chose cascading plants for the zigzag floors and upright planting for the straight floors. "Since the plants were brought to the structure's edges, the geometries of the building were dramatically amplified." [1] The Evergreen Building received a heritage status in the mid-2000s. This project series contains only materials related to the 2006-2007 renovations project. The project series comprises sketches, design development drawings, including site plans, plantings plans and landscape elevations, and buildings plans used as reference. The project series is also documented through corrsepondence, including correspondence with architects and contractors, specifications, plant lists, digital files of a presentation on the existing site condition, financial material, and research material for the project.
