  • New Zealand Architecture Awards 2015 Canterbury
    New Zealand Architecture Awards 2015 Canterbury Introduction Architecture is driven by concept and necessity; by insistent and thorough ideas integral to the design as a whole; by forms and details intelligently articu- lated by those involved in the realisation of the built idea. The fulfillment of the idea enables the fulfillment of necessity. In the built environment therefore, quality of ideas is what sets good architecture apart. To produce good architecture, architects need the commitment of sympathetic collaborators – clients, consultants, contractors, councils – and the skill to manage those relationships well, especially in an environment such as post-quake Canterbury. Architects working in Christchurch have been challenged. Opportunity has been partnered with frustration. To call the amount of construction happening in Christchurch considerable is of course an understatement. A record number of entries were received this year covering all parts of the city and greater Canterbury. Yet one thing that struck the jury was the number of projects that had been initiated prior to the earthquakes, and how architects had been required to reimagine their work while negotiating significantly changed conditions, navigating a quite different course to completion. To develop a design and see it through such altered circumstances and still produce a meaningful building takes skill, patience, and perseverance. The awards celebrate the architects, their clients and collaborators in Canterbury who have excelled under these conditions. Tim Nees Jury Convenor NZIA Canterbury Branch The Awards Programme Programme The Awards Each year since 1927, the New Zealand Institute of Architects has offered an awards programme that presents high quality architecture in New Zealand.

  • Learning by Design: Full Text
    Macmillan Brown Library Learning by Design: Full Text Introduction Learning by Design: Building Canterbury College in the city 1873-1973 An illustrated history inspired by the Armson Collins Architectural Drawings Collection The buildings that form the original town site of the University of Canterbury, once known as Canterbury College, are far more than just bricks and mortar. They are no less than the building blocks of our institution, in which we may find stories of staff and students, of education and recreation, and of service to community. Although the first site of Canterbury College is no longer formally attached to the University, the buildings continue to serve the wider community as the Arts Centre, and in the hearts of many former students and staff they still represent a place where minds and lives were forever changed. ‘Learning by Design’ is a visual history of the building of Canterbury College from its humble foundation in 1873, through the College’s evolution into a University with ivy-clad cloisters, and finally to the gifting of the town site to the people of Christchurch in 1973. The inspiration for this exhibition came from the visionary designs for many of the College buildings which may be found in the Armson Collins Architectural Drawings Collection. A project to digitize the Armson Collins Collection in 2012 has slowly illuminated a rich source of historical documents which show how much of Canterbury College was conceived and constructed. By connecting the architectural drawings to the wealth of archives, photos, and books in the University Library’s collections, this exhibition highlights how architecture, education, and community combined to create Canterbury College.

The executive director Philip Aldridge estimates that unless it can secure public funding for the delivery of its services as an arts, events, education and community hub for visitor engagement, the essential attrac- tion and focal point that it represents in the central city will see it close within the next 18 months.

  • Park Buildings for Once-Contaminated Site and Innovative New Commercial Building Among Winners at 2015 Nelson Marlborough Architecture Awards
    Media release: 7 May 2015 Park buildings for once-contaminated site and innovative new commercial building among winners at 2015 Nelson Marlborough Architecture Awards Twenty-five awards have been conferred in this year's Canterbury Architecture Awards, which were announced on Thursday 21 May. Public Architecture was an especially strong category in the Awards. Christchurch Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre, which hosted the Awards event, and Hagley Oval Pavilion won well-deserved awards, as did the much-loved Isaac Theatre Royal, a winner in the Heritage category. Jury convenor Tim Nees, who is currently Architect in Residence at the University of Canterbury's College of Engineering, said despite the slow process of renewal, there is reason for optimism about the rebuild. "Architects in Christchurch have been challenged," he said. "For them, as for many people trying to make things happen in Canterbury, opportunity has been partnered with frustration. But to call the amount of construction happening in Christchurch considerable is an understatement." Nees, who was joined on the Awards jury by Wellington architect Stuart Gardyne, Christchurch architects Justin Leadbetter and Maria Chen, and Christchurch engineer Helen Trappitt, said that one thing that struck the jury was the number of projects that had been initiated prior to the earthquakes. "Architects have had to re-imagine their work while negotiating significantly changed conditions and navigating a quite different course to completion." "To develop a design and see it through such altered circumstances and still produce a meaningful building takes skill, patience and perseverance. The Architecture Awards celebrate the architects, their clients and collaborators in Canterbury who have excelled under these conditions." Warren and Mahoney was a strong presence among this year's award-winning practices.

    “Christchurch was my home, seeing it falling into pieces is not easy.” The Canterbury Earthquakes inspired me to create a series of artwork on earthquake rubble that my friends and I collected off old Canterbury buildings that were damaged or demolish during/ after the 2011 earthquake. There were 50 pieces of work for sell in this series with one extra piece for my parent. The 6.3-magnitude earthquake on 22 February 2011 left the cathedral damaged Christchurch Cathedral and several surrounding buildings in ruins. The spire that had withstood damage in the September 2010 quake was completely destroyed, leaving only the lower half of The Anglican cathedral of ChristChurch in the city of Christchurch, New the tower standing.

Henry John Chitty Harper, the first Bishop of Christchurch, arrived in 1856 and began to drive the cathedral project forward. In 1858 the project was approved by the diocese and a design was commissioned from George Gilbert Scott, a prolific British architect who was known for his Gothic Revival churches and public buildings (he later went on to build St Pancras railway station in London, England, and St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland).

    The Arts Centre of CHRISTCHURCH Annual 2013 ARTs CENTRE PhoTogRAPhs “It has been a true honour to have been able to photograph this project.” Johannes van Kan, photographer, Moda Fotografica www.modafotografica.co.nz 1 THE ARTS CENTRE ANNUAL REP oRT 2013 – Foreword – The past year has been about creating a solid foundation for the future of a re-imagined and restored Arts Centre. In the past twelve months, restoration commenced on a number of new buildings across the site. Ground was broken on a new renewable heating initiative, the roof of one of the oldest sections of the site was reinstated, and restoration of two buildings was completed. Widespread consultation about the Arts Centre vision and the plan of the way forward was also achieved. Tireless work on the restoration phase has enabled us to reach this moment. Now that these foundations have been set, we are getting on with it. Progressively the people of Christchurch, and visitors to the city, will be able to come back to the site to experience the arts from a permanent venue. Piece by piece, the Arts Centre is being strengthened and restored to its original form – stronger and more durable than before the earthquakes, while also adding modern services to improve access and use of the buildings. Every step brings us closer to reopening the site to the community. The Arts Centre of CHRISTCHURCH 2 THE ARTS CENTRE ANNUAL REP oRT 2013 –Chair Report– There has been much to celebrate over the past 12 months as we move forward with the heritage restoration project.
