The collection of work gathered in this book stems from three strands: first a course taught during the Studio Christchurch Summer School 2013 titled ‘The Green Frame’, second a course taught at the University of Auckland’s School of Architecture and Planning titled ‘The Blueprint’ and lastly a student submission for the Peterborough Village Competition.

The common thread among the different projects is the political engagement with the proposed Blueprint Plan as set out by the CCDU in June 2012. The students were asked to either take an aspect of the Blueprint Plan and develop it further or to propose an alternative. This book is a collection of 10 projects completed by 24 students.

‘Catch and Release’ activates CCDU’s proposed CCDU’s ‘Avon Precinct’ by creating inviting spaces to both see and be a part of creative events. The audience is blurred as the public and artists come together to be the art and see the art. In order to activate the Avon Precinct we proposed developing outdoor equivalents of the surrounding cultural institution’s creative spaces. Lighting, paving and furnishings are used to define different event spaces. To play on the concept of Catch & Release the looping pathway is lined with lighting which responds to movement, like a ripple effect and intensifies as people move towards the different event platforms.

Catch Release

ProgrammeA system called ‘Catch and Release’ is a reference to recreational fish-ing. In this system the fish are caught and then prompty released back into the water before any harm is done. This keeps fisherman happy but also help fish populations thrive. Many animal introductions oc-cured along the Avon Precinct including trout. Using this system and applying it to the Precinct with architecture, we can reintroduce crea-tive and performing arts into the CBD. Letting the artists be in control of their work.

PROGRAMA system called ‘Catch and Release’ is a reference to recreational fishing, where fish are caught and then released back into the water before any harm is done to them. In this way the fishing sport can thrive without diminishing the fish population.

Borrowing from this notion of ‘Catch and Release’, this project suggests a similar approach for catching creative acts along the River Avon and releasing them back through engaging the passersby. Using this system the project reintroduces creative and performing arts into the CBD and engages the audience in the act of creation.

Wai Mauri [NE]36

‘Wai Mauri’, which translates to mean the essence of water, aims to create desirable housing in the CBD by integrating residential, canals, ecological water treatment, gardens and public pathways into the East Frame. The vast and open site is currently disproportionately large for residential use. By creating waterways, the area is divided into smaller parcels which is more appropriate for residential lots. It also creates a unique alternative for inner city living.

‘Wai Mauri’ is a phased project that over time transitions from an agricultural landscape into residential lots with gardens. The housing forms are derived from wind studies, creating sheltered spaces for both public and private areas.

INNOVATION PRECINCTThe design for the CCDU’s proposed Innovation Precinct is a showcase for the creation and consumption of energy. The building forms are a product of integrating sustainable technology and relate to the site’s sun, shadow and wind patterns. A series of energy generators occupy the open space between the stadium and transportation hub creating a dynamic events space.

ZIPPER CONCEPTSCALE 1:4000

HAGLEY PARK

HOSPITAL

The ‘Urban Corridors’ project proposes an urban zipper, threading the green spaces of the Avon through the use of laneways to Saint Asaph Street. These new connections are created in the open spaces between existing buildings. Each corridor responds to the surrounding buildings’ programs, giving each one a unique identity. The aim is to create experimental platforms to test architecture at an urban scale.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING WHAT WE ARE SEEING

75Hew Kenn Chew, Han Chen, Samuel Wong

DON’T FRAME, STITCH NETWORKS AND CONNECTIONS The Green Stitch creates connections across the CBD. The street grid and existing natural open spaces including Cathedral Square, Hagley Park, Latimer Square and Cranmer Square are preserved.

The CCDU plan is strikingly similar to Howard Ebenzer’s Garden City design of 1898, and is not so dissimilar from the pre-earthquake Christchurch, in that it separates residential from main business districts. While the CCDU proposed Green Frame is intended to contain the inner CBD, and is designed as an open space capable of expanding for future development, it creates a strong divide between inside and outside. Within the Green Frame lies only commercial infrastructures, on the outside is the rest of the city, its suburbs, and residential areas. We believe this approach runs the risk of becoming disconnected, and would therefore lead to a CBD decaying within the Green Frame from lack of use.

PROPOSED URBAN PLANThe buildings are designed to mitigate incoming winds to control the micro climate within the band to establish comfortable inhabitation. Manchester Street acts as a spine connecting North to South. Generous allocation of green spaces ensures air purification as well communal spaces for gatherings.

URBAN ENVELOP BORDERProvide a 10m border around the buildings and pathways for seating and circulation purposes.

VIEWRemove the centre cluster of buildings to provide public space, whilst simultaneously providing views towards the space from the surrounding buildings.

ACCESSMain block access geometries are extruded to penetrate through the green space to provide walkways across the area. The green space is extruded also above ground by 1m for a more dynamic urban plane.

CENTREThe central block is removed and the area is paved to hold events and markets.

FILLThe remaining voids are filled with green spaces.

Green Stitch

83Han Chen

PROPOSED BLOCK PLANThe central green space is surrounded by shops and cafes, providing a lively program to activate the central area. A gallery, bank, gym and library are amongst the large list of services provided within the block to cater for the students, public and local residents. Countdown, currently located in the area, is retained as they provide a vital service to the residents. Above the two floors of retail are two floors dedicated to apartments, accommodating approximately 200 residents.

TRANSPORT STRIPThe Transport Strip takes it cue from Victoria St and High St, by extending these two streets the strip is generated between them. Both of these streets become primary interchanges for the city’s main transport, creating a transport hub along the outer perimeter of the strip. The inside of the strip is car free and is a pedestrian mall linking a range of public spaces, from parks, to central plazas to pocket gardens. Medium density, mixed use buildings flank the edges of the strip with street frontage along High Street and Victoria Street and public space frontage along the inner strip.

1. HAGLEY PARK ZONEThe paving is oriented in relationship to the Christchurch urban grid and dissolves to create a gradient towards permeable surfaces. A playground is provided within the village park, surrounded by residential it to provide safety and natural surveillance.

2. AVON RIVER ZONEThere is a 50 metre setback between built forms and the Avon River, allowing for an esplanade for pedestrians and cyclists. There is no gap between pavers used for esplanade or for terraces for cafes near buildings. A gradient of paving with permeable ground is used between the esplanade and river. Stone benches are carefully located along the path ways and river front.

RECREATIONAL STRIPThe recreational strip is defined along the Avon River and intersects each of the ‘Green Strip’s’ bands, creating different zones of influence. The spaces between each of the strips are also designated as part of the recreational strip. As a result there will be 9 different zones created. A series of bridges are designed and programmed to bring different activities to the Avon River.

CCDU GREEN FRAME CORE The CCDU proposal for the Green Frame creates a consolidated inner CBD.

URBAN ARCHIPELAGO CORE Urban Archipelago suggests an alternative to the proposed single core by creating multiple islands each with a distinct character. Instead of creating a mono-centric city, this proposal aims to create a variety of closely connected yet distinctly different centres.

93Damien He, Taylor Chan, Louie Tong

CHRISTCHURCH 1850 Christchurch is located above vast aquifers and a network of underground waterways. Throughout the planning of the city, this naturally defining characteristic of the city has been concreted over and submerged below a sea of grided streets. The map from 1850 shows the remnants of what were local waterways before they were lost to contemporary urban occupation.

UNDERGROUND WATERWAYS & AVON Through this overlay, a stark yet beautiful contrast emerges between the planar grid of the city blocks and the natural curvaceous form of the river and historic streams. This map became the point of departure to then draw a series of islands knitted together by paths of small streams.

DESIGN DRIVERThe proposal for this island is to consolidate the denser urban buildings within the center. Green spaces are arranged near the points of importance and in between the dense zones. The dense zone, and hence also primary roads, were informed by the intersections of the ripples.

ENTRY POINTSEntry points via vehicle exist at the four corners of the archipelago. Pedestrians come and go through one of the many bridged gaps on the perimeter of the island. The above figure also shows the connection to the existing Christchurch urban grid.

Vehicle entrancesPedestrian entrances

PRIMARY ROADS + HIGH DENSITY SITESPrimary roads were informed by the areas of turbulence and intersections between the ripple’s sources. The higher the turbulence, the higher the density.

STAGE 2 : SECONDARY ROADSInspired by the abstract forms captured by the stage 2 image during the ripples, secondary roads for low density travel are created for vehicular access to car parks.

Urban Archipelego

99

STAGE 3 : PEDESTRIAN / GREEN PATHS YThe green paths were inspired by the little gaps between air bubbles during stage 3 photo from the ripples. The ones connected to the main high density road point out, towards a green space to give users a sense of direction.

STAGE 4 : CAR PARKSCarparks are located away from the Avon River and placed between high density and green zones. The placement was inspired by stage 3 of the ripples as there were random bubbles which popped up.

STAGE 5 : GREEN SPACESInspired by the last stages of the ripples, the green spaces were arranged as close to the buildings of Interest as possible without being impractical. Smaller pockets of green spaces were also included so that some could specialize in certain recreational activities such as containing a soccer field or skate ramp.

ROOT STRUCTURES The concept of this project focussed on ecosystems and the structure of tree roots. The concept investigates how root structures could be integrated into the city to create urban pathways and regenerate the landscape. Tap root structures and fibrous root structures are integrated into the core of the city at different scales: The city scale, The urban scale and the architectural scale.

MIXED USE ISLANDThe identity of the island will be a mixed use island that is designed to accommodate low rise residential, retail and public spaces. The first floor is for retail and public space, and the upper stories are residential. The building’s design follow the idea of organic forms and patterns drawn from the island’s shape. This is seen as a repeatable element at different scales creating public and dwelling spaces that flow into each other seamlessly.

PERFORMANCE PARKThe four key users are characterized by their mode of transport: car, bus, cyclist and pedestrian. Located in the South East corner of the Green Frame, the majority of motor traffic comes from the Eastern suburbs of Sumner, Redcliffs, Mt Plesant, Heathcotte and Avonside travelling into the CBD. There is heavy pedestrian and cycle use at the west end of the site, as users park their cars to continue through the Green Frame into the CBD. Busses travel one way up Madras St and pull into the site at either of the three platforms. Creating user specific entry and exit points to the building helps ensures pedestrian safety, with minimal amount of intersecting paths for pedestrians and motor vehicles.

PROPOSED TRANSPORT CORRIDOR

INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATIONBeginning to break away from notion of centralisation, the proposal of an Urban Corridor starts to situate itself through High Street, Cathedral Square and Victoria Street. Historically known as the entrances and exits of the City Center, this re-instated linear corridor creates a backbone into which the rest of the city’s transport can plug into.

NETWORKING COURTYARD & PAVINGThe network of the courtyards is defined by the connections made between relative entrances of buildings. The spaces between the connecting paths define the green spaces and furnishing.

MIXED USE PRECINCTThe corridor also integrates the Innovation Precinct and the Retail Precinct, distributing their programmes along the corridor as a means by which to activate the area. In-stead of zoning and segregating programmes this proposal looks at bringing together the different uses along the transportation corridor.

123Adam Chin

INTEGRATION OF FURNISHINGThe courtyards are informed through the trajectories connecting buildings. Submerged seating spaces create public space for leisure.

CONNECTION OF SHELTERSShelters are informed through the same trajectories connecting the entrances of the buildings. Following the sense of a ‘loop’ the Tram Shelter scales the paving through a vertical axis, moving from paving, to shelter in a single linear move.

OUTLINE OF FOLIAGE SHOWING LIGHT PENETRATION

CANOPIES Tree Canopies filter light, regulating the amount of sunlight that reaches the ground below. The concept focuses on how light emits through canopies and the light beams that it creates.

The beams of light are interpolated as the form and influence the spatial layout of the building. The light wells carve through the building creating shafts where light penetrates deep within the floor plates.

STACKED The building takes its form from studying the programmatic distribution. The arrangement provides a clear separation between the public and private spaces, with the private located on the northern side of High Street and the public located on the southern side. The retail areas are connected to create a long multi-level mall, with the childcare centre and public gym included in the same block to maintain concentration of public activity in the south corner. Residential units are on the northern side of the complex for maximum sunlight, with the offices facing south for even daylight. Residential and office units are located on the top two floors and the apartments away from the public courtyard to minimize disturbance. Retail and dining areas face inwards to the main courtyard, and secondary courtyards are created around the ground floor dining units for a pleasant outdoor experience.

STRUCTUREThe structure is effectively a series of large beams overlapping and interlocking with exposed diagonals. A steel frame system is used in the construction to support the cantilevered and overlapping floors. The structure allows for the cantilevered forms and creates unusual shaped geometries while also playing a part in the facade of the complex.

PETERBOROUGH VILLAGE PITA KĀIKMIXED USE IDEAS COMPETITION 2013 In 2011 Central Christchurch was badly damaged in a series of earthquakes. On the soft ground in the north of the city centre, whole street blocks have been entirely cleared and some rebuilding begun. A community-based, post-quake organisation, the Peterborough Village Incorporated Society, addresses an area immediately outside the city core embraced by Colombo – Salisbury – Barbadoes Streets and the Ōtākaro Avon River corridor. Village blocks had areas of commercial and areas of residential, with Colombo Street the local main street - a former food hub - and Kilmore Street between Colombo and Manchester being predominantly office buildings.

The City Plan has been revised and for this area seeks that, instead of redevelopment for entirely commercial activity, redevelopment of sites have mixtures of uses, including retail, office and residential. The concept is challenging for site owners. This competition is to generate and inspire concepts to assist in their planning and design and in a vibrant, sustainable post-colonial renewal.

Our design proposal is a dynamic response to the brief focusing on the historical spring characteristics of the site. Theriver has always been the gathering point of activities in historical times, our aim was to recreate the vibrant atmosphereassociated with it. Our main focuses were on ‘sense of place’ , ‘timber buildings’ and green connections. We took the1950’s underground spring map as our starting point and focused on using the corresponding land above as sharedspaces where public interaction can take place. Our built spaces are closely interlinked with alternative circulation routesrunning at different levels for both public and private use. Our design cultivates green space as an echoing element tothe surrounding green frame.

ARK IN THE PARKAn Adaptive Mixed Use Village to the Conditions of Christchurch

ARK IN THE PARKThe design proposal responds to the a spring hidden beneath the site. The river historically was the gathering place for activities, the design takes this as a departure point and reveals the location of a stream identified in a 1950s underground spring map and designates the corresponding land above for gathering spaces.

The design aims to create a sense of place using timber buildings integrated with landscape. The built spaces are closely interlinked with alternative circulation routes running at different levels for both public and private use. The design also cultivates green space as a connecting element to the surrounding context.

COMPETITIONPeterborough Village Student Submission

The collection of work gathered in this book stems from three strands: first a course taught during the Studio Christchurch Summer School 2013 titled ‘The Green Frame’, second a course taught at the University of Auckland’s School of Architecture and Planning titled ‘The Blueprint’ and lastly a student submission for the Peterborough Village Competition.

The common thread among the different projects is the political engagement with the proposed Blueprint Plan as set out by the CCDU in June 2012. The students were asked to either take an aspect of the Blueprint Plan and develop it further or to propose an alternative. There are 10 projects completed by 24 students.
