PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The proposal is a mixed-used building in Christchurchs

urban context. The complex will include retail stores,

ofce space, a learning centre and apartment units.

The building is located on the north side of the central

core of the city, 127 Armagh Street one of the most

severely damaged areas after the 2011 earthquakes.

Whilst CCDUs blueprint has designated the surrounding

area of the site as a new performing art precinct, the

purpose of this project is to accommodate the diverse

nature of this part of the city and its further growth. Along

with two other collaborative team members who each

proposed an apartment building and a riverside market,

we are aiming to bring a series of programme of work,

play and live to this part of the city.

The concept behind the design is based on the research

of Christchurch artesian aquifers. The distribution

patterns and geological properties of the aquifers offer

an immense amount of potential and connections toarchitectonics; it also puts up a wider scope on the

mechanism of liquefaction and other seismic hazard of

the Christchurch landscape.

The subterranean condition of aquifers is fully formed

by different layers connecting; creating a free owing

circulation without destroying the hierarchy of the

space. The design literally incorporates the extrapolated

geometry of the aquifers, wrapped in a bu ilding envelop

created by projecting the trajectories of the surrounding

buildings and Avon river. Glazings and op enings are

determined according to functions on various parts of

the interior.

Sectional patterns of the aquifers also suggested

programme for the building. Enclosed volumes are

interpreted as residential units, whereas long, open

volumes are made into public space. The transition

between these levels is integrated by ramps, stairs and

level changes of the oor plate, creating a free-owing

circulation.
