  • Arthur Erickson's Concrete Trevor Boddy
    I first heard Arthur Erickson speak of the importance of The Constructed Landscape: concrete to his designs in the late 1970s. As the student charged with organizing lectures at my architecture school in Arthur Erickson’s Concrete Calgary, a first talk there by Canada’s most prominent modern architect was my top priority. I called his office, but Erickson’s personal secretary informed me he no longer gave lectures to universities, only to “bankers and chambers of commerce.” I persisted, and arranged to have the Vancouver- based designer speak to a luncheon gathering of downtown businessmen. One of Erickson’s phrases in his talk that day cycled around my student brain long after he got on the airplane back to Vancouver, and the Calgary businessmen got back to pumping oil. While I did not recognize it as being so at the time, he voiced a widely-quoted shibboleth as an aside: “Concrete is the marble of the 20th century.” The use of concrete Trevor Boddy validated through comparison with a now-expensive traditional material? The reference seemed archaic to me, in part because my architectural history studies had just taught me that the ancient shores of the Mediterranean were the last home to marble used as both structure and finish for public buildings. Or was Erickson inferring something more complex with this, as in late Roman and post-Renaissance uses of marble—a veneer finish, while bricks or cheaper stones did the structural work behind, a composite in the same way steel reinforcing rods make large span and thin shell concrete structures possible? Arthur Erickson’s concrete buildings demonstrate both of these tendencies—an extension of building logic of the material itself, and a classicizing sensibility, especially in their spatial logic and recurring use of the trabeated frame.

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.
