  • How the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence Led to a Departure from Concrete Technologies
    A CHANGE OF SCENE: HOW THE CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKE SEQUENCE LED TO A DEPARTURE FROM CONCRETE TECHNOLOGIES Morten Gjerde 1 School of Architecture, Victoria University of Wellington, P.O. Box 600, Wellington, 6140, New Zealand Over time, nature can expose even the slightest weakness. This became very clear following a sequence of unexpected earthquakes that struck in Christchurch, New Zealand earlier this decade. At the time the quakes struck, research and development with concrete building technology Canterbury had gained an international reputation and contributed significantly to the region's development. Structural and architectural innovation helped make concrete the material of choice for new commercial buildings. The paper outlines some of the key architectural and structural innovations evident in the buildings of the city. The earthquake sequence exposed several shortcomings in the design, construction and maintenance of buildings, including to several buildings that represent key moments along the innovation pathway. Now that the rebuild is well under way it is becoming clear with every building that is completed that the city’s visual character will be significantly different. The emerging character appears to be developing around the global materials of steel and glass, with concrete no longer featuring in the ways it had. The paper discusses the background to this departure and how it signals the end of a productive period of innovation with this local material. Keywords: Christchurch earthquakes, performance, concrete, disaster, innovation INTRODUCTION Throughout its brief history of post-colonial settlement, and prior to the widespread losses arising from the 2010-12 seismic sequence, Christchurch had gained a well-deserved reputation for the quality of its built environment.

  • 402 Montreal Street, Christchurch
    DISTRICT PLAN –LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 391 DWELLING AND SETTING– 402 MONTREAL STREET, CHRISTCHURCH PHOTOGRAPH: M. VAIR-PIOVA, 2014 HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE Historical and social values that demonstrate or are associated with: a particular person, group, organisation, institution, event, phase or activity; the continuity and/or change of a phase or activity; social, historical, traditional, economic, political or other patterns. The dwelling at 402 Montreal Street has historical and social significance for its connection to Reverend John Aldred and Joseph Colborne Veel. The dwelling was built in 1878 when builder Henry Haggerty leased the property from the Rev. John Aldred and raised a mortgage to build on the site. Rev. Aldred, after whom Beveridge Street was once named, was an ordained Wesleyan minister, had arrived in New Zealand in 1840. He settled in Christchurch in 1854 as one of the first Wesleyan clergyman in the town and was granted land in Durham Street North by the Superintendent in 1856. Aldred was sent to Dunedin in 1864 but he later returned to live in St Albans. Haggerty encountered financial difficulties and sold the property to Dan Griffiths in 1882. Griffiths owned it for 10 years before Joseph Colborne Veel purchased part of the property in a mortgagee sale. Oxford-educated, Veel arrived in New Zealand in 1857, where he joined Page 1 the staff of The Press and subsequently became editor, a position he held until 1878. Veel also served on the Canterbury College Board of Governors and was secretary to the North Canterbury Education Board.

  • Michael Findlay "Peter Beaven: the Return of History to Architecture in the 1960S"
    Michael Findlay "Peter Beaven: The Return of History to Architecture in the 1960s" Christchurch architect Peter Beaven's long career has been marked by his opposition to modernist philosophies during which time his practice has been animated by a strong sense of history and place. Beaven's diverse body of work is incorporated into New Zealand modernism as though his strongly expressed beliefs about the role of the architect under modernism were immaterial. Critic Kenneth Frampton's influential chapter on critical regionalism in Modern Architecture: A Critical History sets up a framework for interpreting Beaven's contentious statement that he was never a modernist. This paper specifically explores Beaven's position with relation to the design of the Canterbury Building Society building in High St, Auckland (1967). Kerry Francis "Wrapping the Present (the hard man comes to town): Slight adjustments in Whangarei during the 1960s" In 1964 The New Zealand Refining Company opened the country’s only oil Refinery at the entrance to the Whangarei Harbour. This Refinery placed a provincial town at a pivotal location in the modern New Zealand. During the same decade two Whangarei buildings that had been designed by architect A. P. Morgan received new facades courtesy of a “new” architect M.J. Stiffe. In 1963 the Whangarei Womens’ Club in Rust Avenue received a wrap of red brick and mill finish aluminium windows around the original 1924 weatherboard bungalow and in 1967 the then Head Office for the North Auckland Electric Power Board an asymmetric entry location and a skin of selected mosaic tiles across the original (1950) symmetrical plaster façade.

  • Christchurch's Heroic Period
    CHRISTCHURCH’S HEROIC PERIOD: DISCUSSING THE CITY’S IMPORTANT CONCRETE ARCHITECTURE OF THE 1950S TO 1980S MORTEN GJERDE Victoria University of Wellington School of Architecture SUMMARY Christchurch has a well-deserved reputation for the quality of its architecture. From the time of post-colonial settlement through to today, the city’s architects and designers have often pushed at the edges of prevailing architectural theories, technologies and building techniques. Nowhere has this been more apparent than in the use of concrete materials. And now, with so much of the city’s architectural heritage having been lost following the earthquakes of 2010-11, it seems appropriate to reflect on what had been achieved during one of the country’s richest periods of architectural development. The paper looks at buildings designed in and around the city between the1950s and 1980s, a period considered by many to be the most enlightened for the use of concrete. The period saw a growth of interest in the architectural potential of the material, influenced by trends overseas but always looking to ground the work in the New Zealand vernacular. Creative architectural ideas were paired with innovation in structural engineering and manufacturing processes. It would be impossible to offer a complete history of the period, even by limiting discussions to a single material, but the paper will present several key projects and ideas that underpin the legacy of this heroic period of architecture using the medium of concrete. Keywords: Christchurch architecture, concrete architecture, critical regionalism, New Zealand architectural history INTRODUCTION The period following the Second World War is widely acknowledged to have been a rich period in New Zealand’s architectural history (Clark and Walker 2000).
