.- Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, a German-born Canadian landscape architect who blended naturalistic designs with modernist ideals and recognized early on the urgency of climate change, designing public spaces to mitigate its effects, died on May 22 in Vancouver, British Columbia. She was 99.
The cause was complications of COVID-19, said her daughter Judy Oberlander.
Cornelia Oberlander was one of the first women to study at Harvards Graduate School of Design, founded by Walter Gropius, a leader of the Bauhaus movement. Its modernist ethos and her own upbringing gave her a mission to improve peoples lives with public spaces nourished by nature.
