Biography
Over the
past 40 years Cornelia Oberlander has
been involved as Landscape Architect
in a wide range of projects with noted
internationally acclaimed architects
such as Arthur Erickson and Moshe Safdie
and public agencies in Canada and the
U.S.A. All projects are based on design
concepts and studies of social, cultural
and physical features of a given site.
To each project she attempts to bring
the mastery of the art and the science
of the profession.
In the words of the Governor General
in presenting the Order of Canada to
Cornelia Hahn Oberlander: “Canada’s
premier landscape architect, she is
known for integrating her designs in
the overall architectural project with
the natural environment, yet always
adding a unique new vision and dimension.
Her expert technical knowledge is coupled
with her concern for expressing cultural,
social and environmental concepts in
her work and is reflected in her many
projects for the young, the old, and
for the public at large.”
