News and in The Press drew a good number of entries, all, surprisingly, of a high enough standard to deserve publication. What some lacked in drawing was made up for in originality and humour. Drawings submitted to the competition but not published in this issue may be submitted for the next. Whimsy took the prize this time, a quality shared by the other drawing published. It is one brand of humour, but not everybody's, if any brand is. The other drawing is published with the permission of the cartoonist. Cartoonists who submit drawings may indicate whether they would permit the publication of the drawing without payment if their drawing does not happen to take the first prize. A "yes" if agreeable, or a "no", on the back of the drawing would be sufficient. Entries for the next competition close on August 4. The subject need not be concerned with art, unless it is a political cartoon. The prizes are $10 for a member, $4 for a non-member with a year's free subscription. by H.

The Theatre Royal, including all of that part of the building south of the proscenium arch but excluding the new part of the building on the eastern side of the seismic wall, has high historical and social significance as an important performance venue in Christchurch for more than a century. The alterations to the building and its changes of use reflect the changing nature and fortunes of entertainment in the city over the last hundred years. The theatre was built for a syndicate headed by theatre impresario J. C. Williamson, and opened on 25 February 1908. The size of the building, originally seating 1,240, suggests the popularity of theatre at the time. The building is the third in Gloucester Street to carry the name. Williamson was an American who settled in Australia, founding his company in 1879; many of the better productions which toured Australasia from the late nineteenth until the mid-twentieth centuries travelled were through Williamson.

  • 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.

  • Heritage and Participation: a Case Study of Advocacy in Post- Earthquake Christchurch
    Heritage and Participation: a case study of advocacy in post- earthquake Christchurch Rebecca Margaret Halliday Ford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Museum and Heritage Studies Victoria University of Wellington June 2018 Abstract This dissertation explores the advocacy for the Christchurch Town Hall that occurred in 2012-2015 after the Canterbury Earthquakes. It frames this advocacy as an instance of collective-action community participation in a heritage decision, and explores the types of heritage values it expressed, particularly social values. The analysis contextualises the advocacy in post-quake Christchurch, and considers its relationship with other developments in local politics, heritage advocacy, and urban activism. In doing so, this dissertation considers how collective action operates as a form of public participation, and the practical implications for understanding and recognising social value. This research draws on studies of practices that underpin social value recognition in formal heritage management. Social value is held by communities outside institutions. Engaging with communities enables institutions to explore the values of specific places, and to realise the potential of activating local connections with heritage places. Such projects can be seen as participatory practices. However, these processes require skills and resources, and may not be appropriate for all places, communities and institutions. However, literature has under- studied collective action as a form of community participation in heritage management. All participation processes have nuances of communities, processes, and context, and this dissertation analyses these in one case. The research specifically asked what heritage values (especially social values) were expressed through collective action, what the relationship was with the participation processes, communities, and wider situation that produced them, and the impact on institutional rhetoric and decisions.

  • The Acoustical Design of the Christchurch Town Hall
    The acoustical design of the Christchurch town hall Harold Marshall Marshall Day Acoustics Ltd., P O Box 5811, Wellesley Str. 1141, Auckland, New Zealand [email protected] Abstract The Christchurch Town Hall (New Zealand) was opened on September 30 1972. Disastrous earthquakes hit Christchurch in September 2010 and February 2011. Most of the CBD and the historic buildings were destroyed or damaged by the February event, including much of the Town Hall complex. The City Council in November 2012, resolved to restore the entire building but at the time of writing there remains uncertainty. The intention of this paper is to put on record the history of the Christchurch Town Hall design in case it does not survive the political after-shocks of the earthquakes. With the building’s future now in jeopardy it seems appropriate to set out the process that led to this unique design, acknowledge the many contributors, outline its research base, the innovations in predictive technology employed, the evaluation of its acoustical properties and the learning that flowed from it. Reprinted with the kind permission of the Author and ‘Journal of Building Acoustics’ Volume 21 Number 1 2014 1. Introduction Only architects registered in NZ were permitted to enter.

  • NZ Architecture in the 1970S: a One Day Symposium
    "all the appearances of being innovative": NZ architecture in the 1970s: a one day symposium Date: Friday 2nd December 2016 Venue: School of Architecture/Te W āhanga Waihanga [please note due to building work, the symposium may be held on the Kelburn campus at VUW, more details closer to the date]. Victoria University/Te Whare W ānanga o te Ūpoko o te Ika a M āui, Wellington Convener: Christine McCarthy ([email protected]) Mike Austin's seemingly faint praise, in a 1974 review of a medium-density housing development, that the architecture had "all the appearances of being innovative," is echoed in Douglas lloyd Jenkins' observation that: "Although the 1970s projected an aura of pioneering individualism, the image disguised a high degree of conformity." The decade's anxious commencement, with the imminent threat of the European Economic Community (EEC) undermining our economic relationship with Mother Britain, was perhaps symptomatic of a risqué appearance being only skin deep. Our historic access to Britain's market to sell butter and cheese was eventually secured in the Luxembourg agreement, which temporarily retained New Zealand trade, but with reducing quotas, as a mechanism to gradually wean New Zealand's financial dependency on exports to Britain. As Smith observes: "Many older better-off Pakeha New Zealanders considered as betrayal Britain's entry in January 1973 to the EEC." The same year we joined the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). As if in response, in architecture, colonial references were both recouped and abused, though lloyd Jenkins also credits the wider Victorian revival, dating from the mid-1960s, to its co- incidence with "a period in which most New Zealand towns and cities began to celebrate their centenaries." Peter Beaven's Chateau Commodore Hotel (Christchurch, 1972-73), as an example, alluded to Stokesay Castle (Shropshire, 1285) and a thirteenth-century barn (Cherwill, Wiltshire), resulting in a "playful ..
