PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Avon is a meandering river that ows through

the centre of Christchurch CBD. It was formed in the

last ice age, which makes it rather young in geologi-

cal time.

Since Christchurch was settled, the Avon River has

a had a strong presence in the city. One can either

experience the Avon River by meandering through

the Botanic Gardens in Hagley Park or one can enjoy

it by taking a ride with one of the well known punters.

My aim is to develop a project where the river doesnt

just ow through the city but becomes a part of the

LIVING city. Eating and drinking is always a large

part of society, whether its a rst date or brunch

with grandparents, food is always a good excuse to

take a break. Restaurants, bars, cafes and clubs are

a great way to bring together different cultures and

tastes from around the world. The idea is for a 24hr

program starting with cafes for breakfast in the morn-ing, and restaurants serving lunch and dinner. Then

when the kitchens close the young come out to play,

and restaurants transform into lively bars.

Using Auckland City as an example, the Town Hall

sits in the centre of the CBD as a landmark as much

as it is a functioning hall. The surrounding area of the

Civic however is always under development and ever

changing. It is alive with markets and performance.

During the Rugby World Cup it was a popular fan

zone and a screen was erected. Thousands stood

and cheered New Zealand. A transformable space is

perfect for a city trying to nd its feet again. A meet-

ing place called the Avon Park for all ages and kinds

of people. Hey meet me at the Avon Park in 15?

THE CHANGING SHAPE OF NEW ZEALAND

When completeting this research investigation I became curious with the vein like shapes in Aerial Photography. The Cantebury plains

are special to not just New Zealand but the world in that there is extensive river braiding. The reasearch we have completed shows

the softness and the newness of Christchurch and her District (it having not existed til the last ice age). This soft sedimentary outwash

was a perfect scenario for the glacier melt and weather to form braiding channels. The ows push it through and out creating not only

Cantebury but the majestic rivers that are a part of it

FORM GENERATION

Highlighting the bars/islands they form and how they are related to each other. Form generating from reoccuring shapes

BRAIDING SYSTEM

Using the images of paper models, Heighteld was applied and exploded to generate braided lines to create a language similar to

what was made with physical experiments.

FORM

Thinking about deection of ow and the pedestrian trafc behaviour. In New Zealand people are more

comfortable walking on the same side we drive on, the left. When spaces tighten, groups of people

form a V shape This has helped to inform the tapered ends of the form concept.

MATERIAL

The palette of materials includes concrete, steel and gla ss. The braiding of the steel and the vertical

language of the pivoting glass demanded a more simple material surface to contrast against. What was

originally meant to be lightweight and timber resulted in a concrete shell.

CONCRETE

The roof was to be light as there is some cantilever-

ing. Bubbledeck is a type of concrete that is hollowed

out by plastic balls. This makes them at times 35%

lighter. Instead of insulation Ive opted for hydronic

heating which works by using radiant heat from wa -

ter that is in the tubing. The walls are double leaf

concrete walls with a layer of insulation. The roof

has a subtle pitch and a gutter for drainage.

STEEL CABLE AND ANCHORS

The steel cable facade is purely aesthetic and does

not help my pavilion stand up. The steel braids by

crossing over each other. Some braids are more

dense and some are more far apart. This varies

throughout the perimeter of the building. Where

there is more mass it is more dense

PIVOTING GLASS DOORS

The pavilions are not to be mo nolithic objects but

have an air of transparency. The glass will be able to

open or even be pushed all to one side.

FOUNDATION SYSTEM

The ground and the oor are to sit ush. Instead of

surrounding the building with gravel there is a pe -

rimeter of scoria underneath the topsoil for added

drainage. The site is in Christchurch which has soil

prone to liquefaction. Conventional piles would have

to be several meters into the ground and as my site

is on the river bed this is not an ideal method. Raft

foundations spread the load over a large area. The

foundations are thicker around the perimeter and

under walls.
