Abstract The study contributes to a better understanding of utilisation and interaction patterns in post-disaster temporary urban open spaces. A series of devastating earthquakes caused large scale damages to Christchurch’s central city and many suburbs in 2010 and 2011. Various temporary uses have emerged on vacant post-earthquake sites including community gardens, urban agriculture, art installations, event venues, eateries and cafés, and pocket parks.

    DISTRICT PLAN –LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 607 BRIDGE OF REMEMBRANCE AND SETTING –CASHEL STREET BETWEEN CAMBRIDGE-OXFORD/ 75 AND 78 CASHEL STREET, 97, 100, 101, 127 OXFORD TERRACE, CHRISTCHURCH PHOTOGRAPH: M.VAIR-PIOVA, 9/12/2014 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 Bridge of Remembrance has high historical and social significance as it was erected to commemorate those from Canterbury who served in the First World War. At the suggestion of Lilian Irwin, and with some controversy attending a rival proposal to erect a sculptural memorial in Cathedral Square, the decision was made to construct a memorial bridge over the Avon River. This replaced an 1873 structure that was regarded as ‘obsolete and dangerous’ even before the war had commenced (Sun 11 February 1914, p. 8). A competition was held to choose a design for the memorial and it was won by the architectural practice of Prouse and Gummer, of Wellington and Auckland. The memorial was jointly paid Page 1 for by the City Council, who paid for the substructure, and the War Memorial Committee, who raised the money to pay for the superstructure. The foundation stone of the bridge was laid on ANZAC Day (April 25) in 1923. The bridge opened on Armistice Day (11 November) in 1924. One of the many plaques on the arch and its environs bears the inscription ‘Erected by the citizens of Christchurch in grateful remembrance of the Canterbury’s sacrifice, 1914-1919’.

  • Exploring Around Christchurch 4 Days
    CARAVAN TOURS || WITH NZ4U2U Exploring around Christchurch 4 days Have a few days to spare. This itinerary follows some of the most amazing scenery on a trip through the alps to the beauty of New Zealand's west coast. Looking for a little bit of something we have included a trip to the quaint town of Akaroa, a French settlement known for its interesting history. © 2017 NZ4U2U.All rights reserved P a g e 1 | 6 CARAVAN TOURS || WITH NZ4U2U Day 1 Christchurch to Akaroa (2h) Christchurch is traditionally New Zealand's most English city – imagined, laid out, planned and even settled by decree over in England. It was built around its Christ Church Cathedral and Four Avenues, furnished with the University of Canterbury and Christ's College, peopled by the first four ships, and fitted out with Neo Gothic architecture and glorious English gardens; a bit of old England in the South Pacific. Of course, now, it is as Kiwi as anywhere in New Zealand, and a vibrant, international place with its own flair and style. So, park up and plan to spend the day enjoying this ever-changing locale. Christchurch is the South Island’s largest city, known for its beautiful public gardens, old world charm and architecture, and its quaint and very walkable city centre. Much of this changed in the 2011 earthquakes when so much of the city was lost. However, the city is rising to the challenges, quite literally, and it is now home to funky and unique pop up malls, dozens of new buildings, high street, designer and boutique shops, a world class art gallery and museum, and restaurants galore.

  • Architecture As a Pathway to Reconciliation in Post-Earthquake Christchurch
    The Journal of Public Space 2017 | Vol. 2 n. 3 Special Issue https://www.journalpublicspace.org Architecture as a pathway to reconciliation in post-earthquake Christchurch Simon Te Ari Prendergast, Daniel K. Brown Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand School of Architecture [email protected] | [email protected] Abstract This community-based and culturally-situated design research project reflects on issues of community empowerment and activism through speculative design meant to provoke discourse within the wider New Zealand community. As design-led speculative architectural research, it reaches beyond the confines of professional practice. It challenges the norms of contemporary New Zealand architecture by investigating new architectural approaches to explicitly reflect the cultural identity of New Zealand Māori. The devastating earthquakes of September 4, 2010 and February 22, 2011 destroyed much of Christchurch. While a terrible tragedy, it also opened up the city for fundamental community based discussion. The idea of a post-colonial not just a post-earthquake city emerged, driven by Maorī design and planning professionals following the leadership of local elders. The situated community for this design- led research investigation is the Ngāi Tahu iwi (Māori tribe) of Ōtautahi / Christchurch. Ngaī Tahu professionals in Ōtautahi / Christchurch developed key design aspirations pertaining to THE JOURNAL OF PUBLIC SPACE THE JOURNAL the future architecture and urban design of the new city. The city rebuild offered an opportunity to present a Ngāi Tahu vision that reflected its place identity in the new city. The site for this design research investigation is the Ngāi Tahu owned King Edward Barracks, within the Ōtautahi / Christchurch central business district.

  • 2019 Nationals Promotion
    Promotion for the 2019 National Competitions of the NZ Federation of Amateur Winemakers and Brewers Inc More than 50 reasons why you should come to Christchurch for the Nationals in October 2019 1 Museum. Canterbury Museum is housed in a splendid pseudo-gothic structure build of grey basalt with rhyolite (and trachyte) facings quarried from local quarries, and with animal faces carved in Oamaru stone. Named in honour of the building’s original architect – Benjamin Mountfort - the Mountfort gallery is supported by heart kauri columns. Originally housed in the Canterbury Provincial Council Buildings and first opened to the public in 1867 under the curatorship of Dr.Julius von Haast, the collection soon moved in 1870 to the new purpose-built building. World-renown for its natural and human history collections, it houses some extraordinary collections as well as holding regular displays from other places. Google Canterbury Museum to find the website. 2 Art Gallery. The new Christchurch Art Gallery –Te Puna Waiwhetu - was opened in 2003, before the Christchurch earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. It is a spectacular glass fronted building which is a work of art in itself. The building was used as Civil Defence headquarters for Christchurch following the 2010 earthquake, and again after the February 2011 earthquake. The gallery was designed to deal with seismic events. The gallery's foundation, a concrete raft slab that sits on the surface of the ground, evenly distributes earthquake forces. However, it sustained some damage in the 2011 earthquake. The gallery did not reopen until 19 December 2015 due to the need for extensive refurbishments and improvements.
