The Paradox of Public Discourse: Designing Vancouver Library Square
Linda Lewin Graif The Paradox of Public Discourse: Designing Vancouver Library Square rchitecture is a discipline that operates in a complex public A arena. While architecture may be defined as the art and sci ence of conceptualizing the built environment, the journey from the drawing board to the constructed artifact is a perilous one. The architect's initial concept, itself subject to constraints of many kinds, must be negotiated with clients, engineers, contractors, financial partners, special interest groups, and the general pub lic. Architecture, particularly public architecture, is inherently non-hermetic and, as such, is open to challenge and debate.

Cornelia Hahn Oberlander Reflections

May not be used or reproduced without permission. Scholar`s Choice: Cornelia Hahn Oberlander-From Exegesis to Green Roof by Nina Antonetti Assistant Professor, Landscape Studies, Smith College 2009 Canadian Center for Architecture Collection Support Grant Recipient, December 2009 March 2011 What do a biblical garden and a green roof have in common? The beginning of an answer is scrawled across the back of five bank deposit slips in the archives of Cornelia Hahn Oberlander at the CCA. These modest slips of paper, which contain intriguing exegesis and landscape iconography, are the raw material for a nineteen-page document Oberlander faxed to her collaborator Moshe Safdie when answering the broad programming requirements of Library Square, the Vancouver Public Library and its landscape. For the commercial space of the library, Oberlander considered the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the hanging gardens at Isola Bella, Lago Maggiore; for the plaza, the civic spaces of ancient Egypt and Greece; and for the roof, the walled, geometric gardens of the Middle Ages and Early Renaissance. Linking book to landscape, she illustrated the discovery of the tree of myrrh during the expedition of Hatshepsut, referenced the role of plants in Genesis and Shakespeare, and quoted a poem by environmental orator Chief Seattle. -
Designing Cities, Planning for People
Designing cities, planning for people The guide books of Otto-Iivari Meurman and Edmund Bacon Minna Chudoba Tampere University of Technology School of Architecture [email protected] Abstract Urban theorists and critics write with an individual knowledge of the good urban life. Recently, writing about such life has boldly called for smart cities or even happy cities, stressing the importance of social connections and nearness to nature, or social and environmental capital. Although modernist planning has often been blamed for many current urban problems, the social and the environmental dimensions were not completely absent from earlier 20th century approaches to urban planning. Links can be found between the urban utopia of today and the mid-20th century ideas about good urban life. Changes in the ideas of what constitutes good urban life are investigated in this paper through two texts by two different 20th century planners: Otto-Iivari Meurman and Edmund Bacon. Both were taught by the Finnish planner Eliel Saarinen, and according to their teacher’s example, also wrote about their planning ideas. Meurman’s guide book for planners was published in 1947, and was a major influence on Finnish post-war planning. In Meurman’s case, the book answered a pedagogical need, as planners were trained to meet the demands of the structural changes of society and the needs of rapidly growing Finnish cities. Bacon, in a different context, stressed the importance of an urban design attitude even when planning the movement systems of a modern metropolis. Bacon’s book from 1967 was meant for both designers and city dwellers, exploring the dynamic nature of modern urbanity. -

The excitement that developed during this process of planning for these expanded spaces created a renewed enthusiasm for the architecture of Arthur Erickson and the landscape architecture of Cornelia Oberlander. Over three years the programme was developed with the assistance of teacher specialists, Jane Kinegal, Cambie Secondary School and Russ Timothy Evans, Tupper Secondary School. This programme was developed under the direction of Jill Baird, Curator of Education & Public Programmes, with Danielle Mackenzie, Public Programs & Education Intern 2008/09, Jennifer Robinson, Public Programs & Education Intern 2009/10, Vivienne Tutlewski, Public Programs & Education Intern 2010/2011, Katherine Power, Public Programs & Education Workstudy 2010/11, and Maureen Richardson, Education Volunteer Associate, who were all were key contributors to the research, development and implementation of the programme. Program Description Architecture: The Museum as Muse, Grades 6 - 12 MOA is internationally recognized for its collection of world arts and culture, but it is also famous for its unique architectural setting. This program includes a hands-on phenomenological (sensory) activity, an interior and exterior exploration of the museum, a stunning visual presentation on international museum architecture, and a 30 minute drawing activity where students can begin to design their own museum. -

Museum of Anthropology, the Vancouver Public Library green roof, the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, the Canadian Embassy in Berlin, New York Times Building courtyard and green roof, Vandusen Botanical Garden Visitor Centre in Vancouver, the Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly Building in Yellowknife, and East Three School in Inuvik. Asked to describe her experiences working in the northern environments of Yellowknife and Inuvik, Oberlander refers to the following quote: “‘What does one do when visiting a new place,’ he asked a man. His reply was simple. ‘I listen, that’s all. I listen to what the land is saying. I walk around it and strain my senses in appreciation of it for a long time before I, University of Hawai‘i at Manoa myself, ever speak a word. Entered in this manner the land will School of Architecture open up’” (from Arctic Dreams by Barry Lopez). 2410 Campus Road 6PM Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96822 In 2012 the ASLA Medal was bestowed on Cornelia > Oberlander “in recognition of her unfaltering leadership and award-winning work in postwar landscape architecture t | 808.956.7225 in Canada and the United States. -
Civil Engineer Vs Architect- Differents in Job, Salary
Civil engineer vs Architect- Differents in Job, Salary If you are a civil engineer or an architectural engineer then I think I need not describe about Civil engineer vs Architect to you. Right?. You should already have some knowledge about them. Don’t you? Not to worry even you don’t know, I am here to explain it to you. But, if you are choosing to be graduate among civil engineering and architectural engineering, then you are at the right place to know “Civil engineer vs Architect” In any construction work or creation of structure like a bridge, building, airport, etc there require good knowledge and understanding of civil and architecture engineers. The skill of both professions is most required for the aesthetic and stable structure to be made. If the structure is attractive in look but not safe for landing or using, then there is no point in constructing a structure or if the structure is safe but not well manage for efficient work then also there is no point in constructing the structure. So, in short, you can understand the work of an architectural engineer is to manage and give an aesthetic look to the structure and the work of a civil engineer is to analyze and make a safe structure. However, there are some considerable differences between Civil engineer vs Architect. Let us discuss this. Civil engineer vs Architect S.N Architecture Engineer Civil Engineer Architecture engineers initialize the construction through their design. The After that the remaining designing of structure for 1 work for civil engineers aesthetic purpose means to give to proceed. -

It begins with an idea and culminates in a structure that may serve its occupants for several decades, even centuries. Like the manufacturing of products, building construction requires an ordered and planned assembly of materials. It is, however, far more complicated than product manufacturing. Buildings are assembled outdoors by a large number of diverse constructors and artisans on all types of sites and are subject to all kinds of weather conditions. Additionally, even a modest-sized building must satisfy many performance criteria and legal constraints, requires an immense variety of materials, and involves a large network of design and production firms. Building construction is further complicated by the fact that no two buildings are identical; each one must be custom built to serve a unique function and respond to its specific context and the preferences of its owner, user, and occupant. -
