'''Cornelia Hahn Oberlander''' {{Post-nominals|country=CAN|CC|OBC|MBCSLA|FCSLA|FASLA}} LL.D. (20 June 1921 – 22 May 2021) was a German-born Canadian landscape architect. Her firm, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander Landscape Architects, was founded in 1953, when she moved to Vancouver.<ref name=":0" >{{Cite book |last=Herrington |first=Susan |author-link=Susan Herrington |title=Cornelia Hahn Oberlander: Making the Modern Landscape. |publisher=University of Virginia Press |year=2014 |isbn=978-0-8139-3459-4 |location=Charlottesville |pages=ix, 2, 11}}</ref>
During her career she contributed to the designs of many high-profile buildings in both Canada and the United States, including the Robson Square and the Law Courts Complex in Vancouver, the National Gallery of Canada, the Canadian Chancery in Washington D.C., the Library Square at the Vancouver Public Library, the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia, and Northwest Territories Legislative Assembly Building in Yellowknife.<ref name="louiseaird_com" >{{cite web |last1=Aird |first1=Louise |title=Dream Team: Architect Arthur Erickson & Landscape Architect Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, June 1994 |url=https://louiseaird.com/2013/07/03/dream-team-architect-arthur-erickson-landscape-architect-cornelia-hahn-oberlander/ |website=louiseaird.com |publisher=Louise Aird, Landscape Trades Magazine |access-date=13 December 2021 |archive-date=13 December 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211213000934/https://louiseaird.com/2013/07/03/dream-team-architect-arthur-erickson-landscape-architect-cornelia-hahn-oberlander/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>
==Family and early life== [[File:Peacekeeping monument.jpg|left|thumb|Partial view of grounds, Peacekeeping Monument, Ottawa, Canada]]
Oberlander was born at Muelheim-Ruhr, Germany, the daughter of Beate Hahn (née Jastrow) and Franz Hahn. She was the niece of educationalist Kurt Hahn, the founder of Schule Schloss Salem in Germany, Gordonstoun in Scotland, and UWC Atlantic College in the UK; as well as the niece of Elisabeth Jastrow, the German-born American classical archaeologist.
A horticulturist who wrote gardening books for children, Beate Hahn fostered in her daughter a deep love and appreciation for nature from a young age.<ref>[http://www.virginia.edu/topnews/releases2001/cornelia-march-9-2001.html Prominent Canadian Landscape Architect To Speak At U.Va. School Of Architecture] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060904032555/http://www.virginia.edu/topnews/releases2001/cornelia-march-9-2001.html |date=4 September 2006 }}, University of Virginia News, 9 March 2001, retrieved 2 July 2010.</ref> Since she had a garden bed when she was four years old and planted peas and corn, she knew the joy of growing. In an interview with Mechtild Manus, tracing the roots of her interests in landscape architecture, Oberlander stated:<blockquote>"At the age of eleven... I studied a mural in the artist's studio showing the river Rhine and an imaginary town. When I asked the artist about the green spaces in this mural, she told me that these were parks. When I came home, I told my mother 'I want to make parks'. From there all my education was directed towards becoming a landscape architect."<ref name=":1" /></blockquote>
When Oberlander was 18, being Jewish, her sister, her mother, and she escaped Nazi persecution after the "''Kristallnacht''" (Night of Broken Glass) pogrom in 1938 by fleeing to England. They emigrated to the United States in 1939.<ref name=":1" >{{Cite book|title = Bilder kanadischer Landschaftsarchitecktur/Picturing Landscape Architecture|last = Manus|first = Mechtild|publisher = Callwey|year = 2006|isbn = 978-3-76671-6699|location = Munchen|pages = 60, 96}}</ref>
Her mother had a truck farm in New Hampshire during the war, which Oberlander worked on. She had come to America with the hopes of exploring the professional educational opportunities that involved the creation of parks and green spaces,<ref>[https://tclf.org/pioneer/oral-history/cornelia-hahn-oberlander "Acclaimed landscape architect's Oral History"], The Cultural Landscape Foundation 3–5 August 2008.</ref> and pursued that objective in American colleges.
==Higher education and later life== In 1944 Oberlander was awarded a BA degree from Smith College and, in 1947, she was among the first class of women awarded degrees in landscape architecture by Harvard.<ref>[http://alumnae.smith.edu/enews/enews6-2006.php#1 "Acclaimed landscape architect honored"], Smith e-news June 2006.</ref> In her interview with Jenny Hall she stated, "When I went to Smith, women who wanted to become landscape architects went to the Cambridge School, a part of Harvard University, because at that time, women could not attend Harvard. But with the war that changed, and in 1943 I was one of the very first women to be admitted to the Harvard Graduate School of Design."<ref name="Hall" >{{Cite web|url = http://saqonline.smith.edu/article.epl?issue_id=7&article_id=457|title = A Pioneer with an Eye for Innovation|website = Smith Alumnae Quarterly - Fall 2004|last = Hall|first = Jenny|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070422032745/http://saqonline.smith.edu/article.epl?issue_id=7&article_id=457|archive-date = 22 April 2007}}</ref> She met her future husband, Peter Oberlander at a class picnic. Born in Vienna, he also had fled with his family from the Nazis in 1938. He was awarded a Ph.D. in regional planning from Harvard.<ref name="louiseaird_com" />
Oberlander began work with Louis Kahn and Oscar Stonorov in Philadelphia and then with landscape architect Dan Kiley in Vermont. She married her husband in 1953. They moved to Vancouver and had three children.<ref name=":0" /> Her husband's professional career was as an architect and as Canada's first professor of Urban and Regional Planning.<ref name="H. Peter Oberlander Obituary" >{{Cite news|url=http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/vancouversun/obituary.aspx?pid=122142172|title=H.

She founded a small landscape architecture firm in Vancouver. Oberlander then became interested in the modern art movement led by B. C. Binning and Ned Pratt, which combined art and architecture to address the connections between urbanism and surrounding natural settings.<ref>{{cite web |title=Books |url=https://bcbooklook.com/west-coast-special/ |website=bcbooklook.com |date=25 November 2014 |publisher=BC Books |access-date=15 March 2023}}</ref>
The early years of Oberlander's independent practice were dedicated to designing landscapes for low-income housing projects and playgrounds, the most famous of which is the Canadian Government Pavilion, Children's Creative Centre and play area for Expo 67 in Montreal.<ref name="louiseaird_com" /><ref name="Cornelia Hahn Oberlander Archive" >[https://www.cca.qc.ca/en/archives/218037/cornelia-hahn-oberlander-fonds Cornelia Hahn Oberlander Fonds] Retrieved 14 April 2020.</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last=Oberlander|first=Cornelia Hahn|year=1966|title=Space for Creative Play|url=https://www.scribd.com/document/98626676/Space-for-Creative-Play?ad_group=&content=10079&irgwc=1&keyword=ft750noi|journal=Journal of Canadian Landscape Architects}}</ref> Her first playground, for a 1951 public housing project for architect Louis Kahn, included a vegetable garden and a fruit tree. For public housing in Maclean Park, she designed a playground. On Skeena Terrace, on the Lougheed Highway, she included vegetable gardens.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://thetyee.ca/Presents/2016/03/14/Margolese-Prize-Winner-Cornelia-Oberlander/|title=Margolese Prize Winner Cornelia Oberlander on Landscapes, Cities and Healing Souls|first=Adele|last=Weder|date=14 March 2016|website=The Tyee}}</ref>
She later practiced on a more commercial scale, working with architects and other professionals from various disciplines to create aesthetic solutions for challenging projects. Before beginning a project she researched it thoroughly to ensure that her innovative schemes would be practical and long-lasting. Oberlander always approached a project from an environmental standpoint. In her Convocation Address for the acceptance of an honorary degree from Simon Fraser University she stated:
{{blockquote|I dream of Green Cities with Green Buildings where rural and urban activities live in harmony... "Achieving a fit" between the built form and the land has been my dictum. This can only be done if all our design-related professions collaborate and thereby demonstrate co-operatively their relevance in meeting the enormous developmental challenges facing our increasingly crowded urban regions.<ref>[https://www.sfu.ca/mediapr/hdrspeeches/ SFU honorary degree recipients' convocation addresses]</ref>}}
Her concern for the environment and for people in general, was further exemplified by her involvement with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on Mount Scopus. Oberlander and her husband, Peter, visited Israel for a congress with the International Federation of Landscape Architects in 1962. According to the ''Jewish Independent'', the Oberlanders were in Israel to study irrigation systems, but they "fell more deeply in love with the land and its people".<ref name="Jewish" >{{Cite web|url = http://jewishbulletin.ca/Archives/Feb04/archives04Feb13-01.html|title = Honors for Oberlanders|date = 13 February 2004|website = Jewish Independent|last = Berger|first = Kyle|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060203071144/http://jewishbulletin.ca/Archives/Feb04/archives04Feb13-01.html|archive-date = 3 February 2006}}</ref> The Oberlanders engaged in and spearheaded many activities to benefit the university from 1979 on, including: setting up a Canadian Studies Program, bringing boxes of Canadian textbooks to Israel for donation to the university, developing a botanical garden, working with a team of planners to assist the community of Ashkalon in accommodating settlers from North Africa and Georgia, and advocating for the restoration of historic buildings on the campus. The Oberlanders were honored for their contributions by the Vancouver chapter of Canadian Friends of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2004 and they visited Israel many times in their philanthropic efforts.<ref name=Jewish/>
Oberlander received the "rare and exceptional honour" of being elected to both the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects' College of Fellows (in 1981) and the American Society of Landscape Architects' Council of Fellows (in 1992).<ref name=":2" >{{Cite web|url=http://www.csla-aapc.ca/sites/csla-aapc.ca/files/COF/2003%20COF%20Booklet.pdf|title=CSLA/AAPC College of Fellows 2003 Investiture Ceremony booklet|last=Canadian Society of Landscape Architects/Association des architectes paysagistes du Canada|date=2003|page=[5]|access-date=18 March 2017}}</ref>
In 1999–2000, she contributed her expertise to the Vancouver Art Gallery for its "Out of This Century" exhibition, guiding patrons through the selection of visual art pieces that were chosen from the permanent collection of the gallery (by Oberlander and five other Vancouverites) to reflect and represent the city art scene through the decades.<ref>{{Cite web|url = http://www.nsnews.com/issues99/w122799/thiswk_3.html|title = Architecture meets art in new exhibit|date = 27 December 1999|accessdate = 8 March 2015|website = North Shore News|last = Christensen|first = Layne|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20031129180138/http://www.nsnews.com/issues99/w122799/thiswk_3.html|archive-date = 29 November 2003}}</ref> In 2018, she completed a redesign of the National Gallery of Canada's Fred & Elizabeth Fountain Garden Court.
