Description:
- This watercolour rendering depicts a welcome arch composed of four rounded arches which span the intersection of two streets. Construction materials were either stacked logs or materials simulating stacked logs. The arch is surmounted by log pavilions with arch openings and potted trees at each corner and a pile of agricultural produce in the center. The structure is embellished with shields, including two inscribed with "L", flags, the British royal coat of arms, and sheaves of wheat. Staffage indicates the large scale of the arch.

Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape for the two gardens for the New York Times Building, in New York. The office tower, located on 8th Avenue between 40th and 41st Streets, was designed by Renzo Piano Building Workshop in association with Fox & Fowle (subsequently FXFowle) and opened in 2007. HM White Site Architects and Cornelia Hahn Oberlander collaborated on the design of the building's courtyard and rooftop gardens. The project series also includes another landscaping project for the New York Times Building Loby Garden in the first half of 2010s. Oberlander worked on this project as landscape architect with Henry M White III from HM White Site Architects firm. The project series contains design development, presentation drawings, and working drawings, including landscape sections and details, site plans, planting plans, irrigation plans, and plant schedule.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander’s project for the landscape design for Library Square, the new central branch of the Vancouver’s public library on West Georgia Street. Oberlander worked on this project in 1992-1995 with architect Moshe Safdie and architectural firm Downs/Archambault & Patners. Oberlander landscape design included a roof garden, planned to be accessible by the public, and terraces with integral planting of cascading roses of the southeast edge of the building. She was also consulted for the landscape for the street-level spaces: “Along the streets bordering the site, Oberlander selected tulip trees, except on W. Georgia Street where the city required maples.” [1] The project was completed in 1995. The project series contains sketches, design development drawings, including planting plans, landscape plans for the green roof and the plaza, working drawings, such as site plans, planting plans, irrigation plans, landscape sections and elevations, and drawings of the building used as reference. The project is also recorded through textual records, such as concept notes by Oberlander, research material, specifications, including landscape specifications, correspondence, including correspondence with architects, client and contractors, contract, financial documents, documents for plan selection, and press and articles on the project. The project series also includes photographs of the construction and landscaping work, and photographs of the completed project. Source: [1] Herrington, Susan.

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:
- The Stowe engravings illustrate a garden design of the so-called Transitional Phase in English landscape history. While containing many formal elements typical of the 17th century -- such as parterres, avenues of clipped trees and hedges, fountains and straight-sided canals -- Stowe, as depicted in these engravings, also incorporates many garden buildings and, most importantly, ha-has that are characteristic of the 18th-century English landscape garden. - The marbled and leather-edged portfolio in which the prints were acquired is stored separately in a solander box (size IV).
