AP075.S1.1992.PR05
Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the Liu Centre for Global Studies at University of British Columbia, Vancouver. Oberlander worked on this project in 1994 with architect Arthur Erickson and architectural firm Aitken Wreglesworth Associates. The overwall concept for the project was to design an environmentally responsible building and landscape. Situated at the north edge of a mature costal forest, the main concern of the landscape design was to avoid effecting the existing woodland. Oberlander preserved all existing mature trees on the site and used only native plants and grasses. The design of the building was also though to minimize any impact on the surrounding forest, by avoiding machineries on site or pruning of existing trees. The project also included a green roof, also design by Oberlander. The project was completed in 2000. The project series includes sketches, design development drawings, including landscape plans, landscape details and planting plans, working drawings, such as planting plans and details for the green roof, and working drawings for the building used as reference. The project series also comprises a proposal, concept notes by Oberlander, correspondence with clients, architects and consultants, meetings notes, financial documents, specifications and some promotional material and press clippings on the building. The project is also documented through photographs of landscaping work.

Description:
Project series documents Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's landscape project for the garden of Linda Yorke and Gordon Forbes in Vancouver, British Columbia. Oberlander worked on this project in the second half of the 1990s. She worked with architect André Rowland who was in charge of designing an addition to the residence designed in the late 1940s by Ned Pratt from architectural firm Sharp, Thompson, Berwick and & Pratt. The project consisted in redesigning the entire yard and adding a play area for children. Oberlander included terraces next to the addition to the house, planting beds and planters. The play area included a tower house accessible by a rope bridge, a two levels playhouse with wooden porch, a slide, a fireman pole and a ladder, and a small water canal with stone edges and activated by a hand pump. The project series contains landscape sketches, design development drawings, including a landscape concept plan, details, sections and elevations for play area and play structures, and building plans used as reference. The project is also documented through correspondence, including with clients, suppliers and consultants, concept notes by Oberlander, plant lists, financial material, research material, and photographs of the landscaping.

Description:
Oud was commissioned by the Bio Holiday Centre Foundation to create a rehabilitation centre for under-privileged children. While Oud was appointed as the sole project architect, he was advised by a committee of health care workers and a national construction advisory body, Bouwcentrum. Oud used the Bouwcentrum blueprint as a basis for his design. Oud's design featured pavilions, accommodation for 120 patients, staff accommodation, a sports building and a clinic. Ten pavilions were dedicated to children's accommodation. In Oud's revised plan of 1955, the main building, boiler house and sports building were prominently displayed and flanked by the pavilions. The boiler house/caretaker's dwelling were prominently positioned according to the client's wishes. Although Oud designed a chapel, it was not built (Taverne et al. 2001, 511-514). Project series contains a photograph of exterior view of the Bio Convalescent Centre

Description:
This project series documents the Donwood Foundations Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre in North York, Ontario from 1964-1966. The office identified the project number as 6418. This project consisted of a four level building, with brick and steel fascia exteriors, that served as an alcohol and addiction treatment hospital. Surrounded by wooded landscapes and overlooking the Don River and ravine, the L-shaped building was 42,000 square feet in size. The building's interiors were designed to exude warmth, friendship and inclusion through the use of warm wood finishes and colourful carpeting and upholstery. The hospital included 49 patient beds, an auditorium, a lounge with balcony, and therapy rooms. The project is recorded through a presentation board of an exterior photograph and reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1966. The drawings consist of construction plans, elevations, sections, details, layouts, and structural, mechanical and electrical drawings.
