About

Christchurch is at pivotal time in its history. More than two years on from the devastating earthquakes, decisions made now of what to build where and when will come to define the city. Recognising resources for reconstruction are limited, it is critical to think strategically about what types of construction could attract further investment, and what projects are more likely to act as catalysts for growth than others. The Future Christchurch project brings together a group of six thesis students from the University of Auckland's School of Architecture and Planning to engage in a collective design project. Through a collaborative process the project proposes a framework for the development and rebuild of Christchurch. It begins by researching local economies to identify potential catalysts for growth and inform urban strategies and architectural systems. The collaborative process enables a synergy between each of the strategies, recognising that economies intimately coexist.
