    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’.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Citizens' War Memorial, Cathedral Square
    3. NEW PLAQUE – CITIZENS’ WAR MEMORIAL, CATHEDRAL SQUARE Officer responsible Author Parks & Waterways Manager Ann Liggett, Parks & Waterways Area Advocate, DDI 941-5112 The purpose of this report is to present to the Committee an application from Mr Earle Crutchley, to install a plaque on the Citizens’ War Memorial (Cenotaph) in Cathedral Square to commemorate the involvement of the Merchant Navy in World Wars I and II. APPLICATION On 12 May 2002 Mr Earle Crutchley presented a proposal (copy enclosed) to the Parks and Waterways Unit, to install a plaque on the Citizens’ War Memorial commemorating the four Services who fought in both World War I and World War II, the services being Army, Navy, Air Force and the Merchant Navy. Mr Crutchley’s application is based on the need to inform the youth and public of New Zealand of the inestimable value of contribution and service given by the Merchant Navy in the two World Wars, before the old veterans pass away. England has now elevated the Merchant Navy to the fourth force, to be equal with the other three forces of Army, Air Force and Navy. The plaque he wishes to have installed is made of cast bronze, and measures 470mm x 200mm. The plaque reads ‘The Combined Services’ and also consists of the four service emblems (copy attached). Mr Crutchley’s proposal is to situate the plaque on the west-facing foundation of the memorial, either above or below the existing wording (pictures attached). BACKGROUND Since May 2002, Mr Crutchley has distributed information regarding his application to numerous people seeking support for his proposal.

  • 2016 Canterbury Heritage Awards Finalists
    2016 Canterbury Heritage Awards Finalists PKF Goldsmith Fox Domestic Saved and Restored Award Banksia Cottage (Plane Tree Ltd) Banksia Cottage, a charming aggregation of mid to late 19th century structures, has been lovingly repaired and restored with impressive attention to detail. Saved from dereliction, the thoroughness and respect the owners’ applied to the project has allowed the authentic personality of the cottage to shine through. Mona Vale Lodge (Christchurch City Council) One of three domestic buildings that form part of Mona Vale, the Gatehouse was damaged in the Canterbury Earthquake cycle of 2010/11. The first to be fully repaired, restored and in use again, this is an excellent example of a careful conservation approach by the Christchurch City Council that has not only fully restored the building but has resulted in the restoration of number of hidden original features such as pressed metal ceilings. Chilcombe (Peter Berry and Jeanne Mason) Chilcombe’s owners were totally dedicated to restoring their significantly damaged house after the devastating earthquakes. The damage sustained was of such magnitude that had repair not been undertaken the ultimate fate would have been demolition. Not happy to settle for compromise in saving this fine example of early Christchurch domestic architecture, they ensured that all strengthening and restoration work was carried out to a very high standard. Racecourse Hill Homestead (Brian and Bernice Cribb) Severely damaged by the 4 September earthquake in 2010, the Racecourse Hill Homestead of 1912, one of architect Cecil Woods’ outstanding English Domestic Revival homesteads, was initially targeted for demolition. In 2012 this century old homestead was purchased by Brian and Bernice Cribb who, with incredible foresight and dedication, have undertaken an outstanding approach to its repair and restoration resulting in the conservation of a significant example of Canterbury domestic architecture.
