Open ChCh is a fabulous festival that enables local citizens to engage with local buildings beyond a ‘real estate’ type of viewing.

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/

Did the Ngāi Tahu art and architecture tour with Joseph Hullen. Was an incredible experience, from Margaret Mahy playground to Market Square. Perfect autumn day for @openchch exploring.

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/

Loved seeing the Hurst Seagar Red House. A stunner! There's nothing like getting to see inside places you've seen from the outside a zillion times. Thank you @openchch!

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)

It's #OpenChch weekend! Even if you haven't booked in for any of the excellent events on offer you can still rock up to Tūranga and take a self-guided tour. Pick up a tour booklet on He Hononga | Connection, Ground Floor. openchch.nz/

Looking forward to some @openchch action this weekend. Walking & StickyBeaking looking at interesting places is my idea of fun. Kia ora @jh_arch & team & those who throw open their doors for our exploring - you are absolute Christchurch treasures. openchch.nz/
Walking down a suburban Christchurch street, you might not notice the Megatower and you almost certainly wouldn’t notice its significance as a new way of living. dlvr.it/SPS37P
