The Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch, designed by Japanese Architect Shigeru Ban, is a unique and durable structure made from cardboard tubes, built as a temporary yet resilient symbol of recovery after the 2011 earthquake. The structured is expected to last 50years.
*Features stained glass art from the still under construction Christchurch Cathedral that was hit by the Feb2011 earth quake.

A really unique Cathedral to checkout. A very different take and feel from the ornate and intricately designed ones from Europe. The container boxes line the sides to form offices and various functions. A beautiful temporary church as a place of worship.
CTV Earthquake Memorial Park
CTV Memorial Park in Christchurch honors the 115 victims of the 2011 earthquake who died in the Canterbury Television (CTV) building collapse (accounting for about 60% of the victims from the tragic earthquake)
A tranquil location to reflect and in remembrance of the tragic loss of life that day.
Similar to other memorials to remember significant events in history like the 9/11 memorial and museum.

Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū
Free
to enter. Free Wifi as well.
Check out the arts and the connections the
artist have with the land and their culture. In all honesty the various
street arts were more engaging.
