AP075.S1.1999.PR02
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the proposed Commonwealth Square of the Art Gallery of Hamilton, on Main Street West in Hamilton, Ontario. Oberlander worked on this project in 1999-2002 while the architectural firm Kuwabara, Payne, McKenna, Blumberg Architects was in charge of the building's renovations. The building was completed in 2005, but Oberlander's proposal for the landscaping redesign of Commonwealth Square was not realized. Oberlander's first proposal consisted in adding an oval-shaped mounded lawn in the centre of a paved plaza situated between the art gallery and Main Street West. A second proposal also documented in this project series included two curved access ramps leading to a terrace next to the building with trees planting at the far edge of the plaza and along the street and the underground parking entrance. The project series contains design development drawings for Oberlander's landscaping, such as sketches, sections, landscape plans and renderings. The project series also includes renderings and working drawings for the building by KPMB architectural firm, and building plans for the existing building used as reference. The project is also documented through correspondence, including with clients, architects and consultants, Oberlander's concept notes, documents related to the plant selection, financial documents, documentation on the art gallery, and press clippings and articles on the project. It also comprises photographs of the existing landscaping on Main Street West plaza, including the Irving Zucker Sculpture Court.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's project for the new Visitor Centre of VanDusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project from 2007 to 2011 with architectural firm Busby Perkins+Will Architects and landscape architecture firm Sharp and Diamond Landscape Architects. The project consisted in building an access to the botanical garden from Oak Street. The building includes a undulating green roof shaped as a native orchid leaf and covered in plants inspired by the Pacific Northwest Coastal grassland. The building entrance is marked by "a single petal raised above the others" [1] while another of the giant roof petal in the back "almost touched the ground, and transported water to Oberlander's rainwater garden." [2] The project series contains design developement drawings such as site plans, planting plans, landscape plans, landscape sections and a few sketches, and also sets of building drawings or older landscape drawings of the garden used as reference. The project is also documented through textual records, including correspondence with architects, consultants and clients, project proposals, documentation on botanical garden or on the VanDusen Botanical Garden, and press articles and clippings about the project. The project series comprises also digital photographs of the completed building. Source: [1] [2] Herrington, Susan.
