  • Rethinking Arboreal Heritage for Twenty-First-Century Aotearoa New Zealand
    NATURAL MONUMENTS: RETHINKING ARBOREAL HERITAGE FOR TWENTY-FIRST-CENTURY AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND Susette Goldsmith A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2018 ABSTRACT The twenty-first century is imposing significant challenges on nature in general with the arrival of climate change, and on arboreal heritage in particular through pressures for building expansion. This thesis examines the notion of tree heritage in Aotearoa New Zealand at this current point in time and questions what it is, how it comes about, and what values, meanings and understandings and human and non-human forces are at its heart. While the acknowledgement of arboreal heritage can be regarded as the duty of all New Zealanders, its maintenance and protection are most often perceived to be the responsibility of local authorities and heritage practitioners. This study questions the validity of the evaluation methods currently employed in the tree heritage listing process, tree listing itself, and the efficacy of tree protection provisions. The thesis presents a multiple case study of discrete sites of arboreal heritage that are all associated with a single native tree species—karaka (Corynocarpus laevigatus). The focus of the case studies is not on the trees themselves, however, but on the ways in which the tree sites fill the heritage roles required of them entailing an examination of the complicated networks of trees, people, events, organisations, policies and politics situated within the case studies, and within arboreal heritage itself. Accordingly, the thesis adopts a critical theoretical perspective, informed by various interpretations of Actor Network Theory and Assemblage Theory, and takes a ‘counter-’approach to the authorised heritage discourse introducing a new notion of an ‘unauthorised arboreal heritage discourse’.

  • Legacy of Thomas Edmonds
    THE ARCHITECTURAL HERITAGE OF CHRISTCHURCH 8.The legacy of Thomas Edmonds CHRISTCHURCH CITY COUNCIL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY & PLANNING UNIT Preface Christchurch has a charm that depends to a large extent on features built or planned by people. The quiet dignity of the city owes much to its early buildings. It is still possible to trace the history of Christchurch in the many fine examples of colonial architecture that remain. Action by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust (Cante&ury Regional Committee) and other public interest groups has saved several important city buildings including the Provincial Government Buildings, Trinity Church, the Theatre Royal and the old university (now the Christchurch Arts Centre). As the city grows and changes, there is a danger that historically or environmentally valuable buildings may be thoughtlessly or needlessly destroyed. The Christchurch CiCouncil District Planning Schemes list over 400 historic buildings and objects. Although the scheme encourages their preservation, in the end only the determination of the community can effectively protect or revitalize buildings it considers important. One of the major aims of the present series of booklets is the identification and description of the city's most valuable historic buildings, in the hope that greater public awareness of their importance will increase their chances of survival. Even if preservation should prove impossible in some cases, this series will gather information, illustrations and analyses of each building to provide a published record of the city's rich architectural heritage. If these booklets encourage you to think about the historic significance of this city's architecture, and help you to recognize the special value of Christchurch's historic buildings, then they will have served their purpose.

  • Public Art in Central Christchurch
    PUBLIC ART IN CENTRAL CHRISTCHURCH A STUDY BY THE ROBERT MCDOUGALL ART GALLERY 1997 Public Art In Central Christchurch A Study by the Robert McDougall Art Gallery 1997 Compiled by Simone Stephens Preface Christchurch has an acknowledged rich heritage of public art and historically, whilst it may not be able to claim the earliest public monument in New Zealand, it does have the earliest recognised commissioned commemorative sculpture in the form of the Godley statue by Thomas Woolner. This was unveiled in August 1867. Since that date the city has acquired a wide range of public art works that now includes fountains and murals as well as statues and sculpture. In 1983 the Robert McDougall Art Gallery, with the assistance of two researchers on a project employment scheme, undertook to survey and document 103 works of art in public places throughout Christchurch. Unfortunately even though this was completed, time did not permit in-depth research, or funding enable full publication of findings. Early in 1997, Councillor Anna Crighton, requested that the 1983 survey be reviewed and amended where necessary and a publication produced as a document describing public art in the city. From June until December 1997, Simone Stephens carried out new research updating records, as many public art works had either been removed or lost in the intervening fourteen years. As many of the more significant public art works of Christchurch are sited between the four Avenues of the inner city, this has been the focus of the 1997 survey the results of which are summarised within this publication.

  • Linwood Cemetery Tour Guide Updated 2013
    Linwood Cemetery Tour Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 Linwood Cemetery Tour Guide Updated 2013 Linwood Cemetery History In the 1880s it was believed, both by the medical fraternity and the masses, that ‘it is not advisable on sanitary grounds that cemeteries should be situated in towns’. In September 1883 Dr. Courtney Nedwill advised the Christchurch City Council that ‘after a convenient period the further disposal of the dead should not be permitted in the city’. Negotiations were completed with the Linwood Town Board and Heathcote Road Board and an 18 acre burial reserve outside municipal boundaries dedicated. Although the Barbadoes Street Cemetery was to be the site of funerals for many years to come, the frequency of such occurrences was to be on a much reduced scale than had been the case in the first 30 years of the history of the metropolis. Linwood Cemetery is on sandy soil and was known as ‘the Sandhills’, ‘Corporation’ and then Linwood Cemetery. The Catholic portion begins half way up the hill on the side nearest Buckleys Road and extends to the tree line at the northern end. Wealthy members of the Canterbury Hebrew Congregation subscribed money so that, on 13 October 1864, the community could purchase one rood of land on Hereford Street. This was Part Rural Section 26 in the City of Christchurch. The title, a conveyance under the Deeds system, was vested in trustees as a burial ground. The original trustees were Louis Edward Nathan, Maurice Harris, Hyman Marks, David Davis and Henry Moss. New trustees were appointed in 1882, 1914 and 1926.

    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Conversations with Strangers Performing the broom & the bricoleur Malcolm Doidge ABSTRACT Conversations with strangers Within a workshop or studio, Bricolage is a process where the artist-as-bricoleur finds ad hoc collections of items and recombines them in unusual ways. A bricoluer uses simple tools for many tasks. This thesis considers how a contemporary bricoleur might step away from the workshop and into the everyday, taking only a broom as a familiar tool. “Conversations with strangers” performs the bricoleur at five sites, where the broom is a device that collects fragments of memories from conversations recorded there. These conversations form an inventory or collection that is a palimpsest merging human dialogue with a layer of sound from the sites as the broom sweeps. Together with the broom, these fragments are repurposed within a sculptural installation and post-studio performance of the Bricoleur. An exegesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Fine Arts. At Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand. Malcolm John Doidge 2015 Acknowledgements I am grateful to my wife, Anne Greenwood, for her unflagging love and support over this time and my family for their patience and good humour.
