  • Christchurch Writers' Trail
    The Christch~rch Writers' Trail I The Christchurch c 3 mitersy&ai1 Page 1 Introduction 2 Writers Biographies Lady Barker e Canterbury Settlement, right from 1850, was notable for its exalted ideals. The @settlement's early colonists lugged ashore libraries, musical instruments, paints, Samuel Butler William Pember Reeves easels and plans for a grammar school and university. Within the first decade they Edith Grossmann started a newspaper, founded choral and orchestral societies, staged plays and Jessie Mackay started a public library. A surprising number of these pioneers were competent Arnold Wall writers. The published memoirs, letters, journals and poetry left by Charlotte Godley, Blanche Bau han Edward and Crosbie Ward, James FitzGerald, Henry Sewell, Sarah Courage, Laurence Johannes An 8ersen Kennaway, Lady Barker, Samuel Butler and other "pilgrims" established a robust Mary Ursula Bethell literary tradition in Canterbury, particularly in non-fiction and poetry. From the Alan Mulgan 1930s to the early 1950s, during Denis Glover's association with The Caxton Press, Esther Glen Oliver Duff Christchurch was indisputably the focal point of New Zealand's artistic life. The N~aioMarsh town's cultural and literary importance - about 280 writers are listed in this booklet D Arcy Cresswell in a record which is by no means definitive - continues to this day. Monte Holcroft James Courage The Canterbury Branch of the New Zealand Society of Authors has, with generous Allen Curnow assistance from The Community Trust, now laid 32 writers' plaques in various parts Essie Summers of Christchurch. It is hoped that the process begun in 1997 of thus honouring the Denis Glover literary talent of our town and province, will long continue.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Greater Christchurch Recovery Update - December 2012 Roger Sutton CERA Chief Executive
    We are fast approaching the end of another year in our journey to recover from the earthquakes that have had such an enormous impact on our lives. It is a year, however, where we in greater Christchurch can mark real progress. The economic indicators are looking positive. Consents for new homes have almost doubled in greater Christchurch in recent months and construction activity is on the rise. The central city Blueprint Plan is out there now and we’re asking people to give us some feedback on its most recent chapter – the draft Transport Plan. The Christchurch Central Recovery Plan will see us living in a vibrant, people-friendly central city in years to come. We are making good progress in the demolition of earthquake-damaged buildings and the cordon around the central city has reduced by 90 per cent. That includes the recent reopening of Victoria Square. Local favourites like Alice in Videoland and C1 Espresso, as well as a new Dux de Lux restaurant on Riccarton Road, are back in business too, marking progress from the ground up. You’ll see below we’ve given you a fleeting glimpse into recovery, Canterbury- style 2012. CERA Chief Executive Roger Sutton. 2012 – The recovery, Canterbury-style We’re fixing it We reached out for support We gathered together The Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team Times have been tough for a lot of greater Christchurch More than 1,600 community events have been listed so (SCIRT) is well into its work repairing the horizontal residents but many have accessed the support that is far this year on the BETHERE.CO.NZ website.
