We owe a huge thanks to all our building partners who shared their exceptional works or architecture with everyone over Open Chch weekend. The Mayor of Christchurch @LianneDalziel invited people into the Mayoral Lounge and onto the balcony of the Civic Building @ChristchurchCC
ALT A group of people with their backs to the camera, standing on the balcony of the Civic Building in Christchurch. The timber lined canopy projects over their heads. There is a band of blue sky and the white peiaks of the Southern Alps are in the distance. It's a sunny day and people are admiring the view.
We plan to carry on doing this! What a magical weekend. Thank you for coming out in your thousands, Ōtautahi Christchurch.
Tell us your favourite architectural experiences from #openchch
Intrigued discussion hummed through New Zealand's oldest cell block as Cantabrians explored some of Christchurch's most interesting buildings. dlvr.it/SPYYys

Next stop on my voluntourism day out (thanks @openchch ) allowed me to hear an amazing talk by architect Peter Kent at the Ōruapaeroa/Travis Wetland info kiosk.
Described as referencing neo - gothic, Māori & Japanese forms, it's a true wee gem sitting … instagr.am/p/CdAaujsLvh3/

More from @openchch @ucnz forestry building open day at this fabulous 1970 brutalist building by Hall & Mackenzie.
I feel like if you came here as a student, the architecture world really make you feel like you were part of something. instagr.am/p/Cc_wxWBPDPS/

We were lucky to be at this one, a Sisters of Mercy chapel on the Villa Maria campus, when the architect was there. That’s a large pounamu cross inside another cross window. @openchch

Really enjoyed looking into the historic chapel of the Community of the Sacred Name, thanks to the innovative @openchch. Nurse Maude’s actual bike is still in the building too, but not pictured (these are sourced pics, not mine)
Nothing like en endorsement from a former festival director! 😊
