Christchurch International Airport Limited (CIAL) manages
aircraft noise in order to:
reduce the effects of noise on local residents maintain high standards of residential amenity prevent imposition of a curfew which would restrict 24/7operations
Why are Noise contours important?To allow the airport to continue to grow and operateefficiently on its present site They allow the airport tofunction as a non-curfewed operation There are numerousexamples of cities and their airports that have notmanaged aircraft noise levels and are now either subjectto curfew or have been forced to move to locations furtheraway from the city they serve.
How does Christchurch Airport manage aircraft noise ?1. Noise reduction at source discouraging use of oldernoisier aircraft2. Noise minimisation procedures adherence torecommended flight paths and flight procedures
3. Land use planning: utilising appropriate noise contoursto discourage noise sensitive development within areas
affected by aircraft noise
Aircraft operations means:
The take-off and landing of aircraft at CIAL Aircraft flying along any flight path associated with atake-off or landing at CIAL
The following activities are excluded from the definition ofAircraft Operations:
Aircraft operating in an emergency for medical ornational/civil defence reasons Air shows Military operations not associated with the Antarcticprogramme Aircraft using the airport as an alternative to a scheduledairport elsewhere Aircraft taxiing Aircraft engine testing
Exceedance by up to 1 dBA of the noise limit is permittedprovided CIAL demonstrates at the request of, or to the
satisfaction of, the Council that any such exceedance is dueto atypical weather patterns.

CON
?
Christchurch is growing, but not as a unit, it is growing asa collection of individual islands. Connecting these islandswould allow the city to function and grow as a whole. One of themajor issues identified from the research and analysis of thesite conditions is the disconnection between the airport, theindustrial corridor and the new developing industrial pocketsin Christchurch. The Christchurch International Airportscurrent location is very disconnected from main transportroutes, business and industrial areas. The lack of integrationbetween the airport and the train route limits growth in the
import and exportation of goods, and the reliance on fossilfuels for transportation is also preventing Christchurch fromgrowing into a more developed and sustainable future.
When compared with Stockholm Arlanda Airport and HongKong Chek Lap Kok International Airport through case studies,the Christchurch Airport shows restrictions around growth intoan international hub and airport. Both Stockholm and HongKong are developing into large aerotropolis, mostly driven bythe larger distance from the CBD. Christchurch is not suitableto become an aerotropolis due to its size and the closeproximity to the CBD. However, there is the opportunity todevelop the Christchurch airport into a cargo hub, benefittingthe CBD through the increased efficiency and growth ofvarious cargo related businesses and industries around theairport.
There is a need of 100 hectares of land for additional growth in
business, light industrial and distribution activities accordingto a 2009 Christchurch land review. The area surrounding theairport provides the needed land as well as the opportunityfor continued growth. Christchurch has been expanding dueto urban sprawl, growing west to the point where there is nowonly a thin strip of rural land as the buffer between the airportand residential zones, the urban edge mostly defined by theairport noise contour.
This proposal aims to design a framework that connects theairport with the industrial corridor and allows future businessand industrial growth around the airport. The existing rail linewhich cuts through the middle of Christchurch (along theNorth-South axis) is moved west, acting as a band to restricturban sprawl and a tool for maximising efficiency. The newproposed train line accommodates the predicted futuregrowth and increases productivity in cargo transportationthrough its direct connection with the airport.
The design is explored at an urban scale and is structuredalong two grids. The first grid which runs along the proposedcargo train line is based on the size of cargo cars with a focuson increasing efficiency in transportation through regulatingspacing and stops. The second grid runs along the proposed
passenger monorail with the spacing defined by the distancepeople are happy to walk in order to catch public transport.Both the grids are set in order to increase efficiency intransportation and circulation.
16 existing land use zones were identified on site and clusteredtogether in different configurations based on their connectionwith the users (Tourist, Worker, Cargo and Local Services)and infrastructures (Airport, Cargo train line & Passenger trainline). Through weaving the various zones together based on
their need for each infrastructure, a stronger connection isdeveloped between the different infrastructures. Similarlythrough weaving the zones based on the users it encouragesthe collaboration and integration of users.The idea of weaving is a key design inspiration in this project.This design plays with interwoven zone clusters, using thetwo grids identified to inform the weave. Through weavingthe zones together a greater efficiency in movement andcirculation is designed with consideration of various methods:walking circulation, vehicle circulation and train circulation.The interlocking of zones creates shared spaces whichencourages engagement between the different companiesand enriches the community environment.
The idea of Christchurch as the garden city is another designinspiration for the project, incorporating connected open,green spaces across zones and throughout the urban area.Daffodil flowers were explored as inspiration, the concept
of the bulb growth being a summary for the urban schemewhere the airport area is seen as similar to the bulb ofa daffodil which feeds the flower head, or in this idea, theCBD. This analogy is designed to show that the developmentaround the airport is not a new aerotropolis which drains thecity but an urban centre to help revitalise and feed the growthof the city. The layered skin and linearity of a daffodil stemcorresponds to the idea of weaving and was explored as adriver for open space on site.
This design addresses the programming of land use andmassing of buildings against open space around theChristchurch International Airport. The relocation of the trainline connects the airport and surrounding area to the otherindustrial islands, and aims to create a new efficiency incirculation and transportation of cargo while also providingthe necessary infrastructure for future growth. Considering theland use zones around the airport avoids the development of
a potentially draining aerotropolis, instead allowing the airportto grow into a flourishing cargo hub. Through weaving variouszones together, a connection is formed to foster a communityenvironment between companies. The design highlights theimportance of considering urban spaces to aid efficiency inmovement and increase the quality of life for the inhabitants.

PROCESSFORPROPOSEDSCHEME
Proposed land review area for future Business & Industrial Growth.
The Sound Contour was used to define zone boundary for business growth anddefine residential boundary.
The proposed scheme is a large development with consideration into existing industrial business, current growth and futuregrowth. The proposal hinges on the relocation of the train line to connect the developing industrial islands, and is proposedto be developed in stages. If Christchurch is to intensify like Hong Kong, the train line and proposed industrial business zonewill help prevent urban sprawl while providing the infrastructure for growth and increasing efficiency in cargo transportation.

Christchurch is the gateway to the South Island and recognizedfor its abundant arable land by its name as the Garden City.
After being hit by a number of strong earthquakes, many ofthe citys beautiful buildings were destroyed including theiconic Christchurch Cathedral.The design intent of this project is to make the travel routefrom the Christchurch International Airport through to thecity centre more time efficient as well as cost efficient, alsoto highlight the inherent assets of the Garden City that arecurrently there but un-expressed, allowing passengerstravelling into the city a way to experience the beauty of the
context.Case studies were made comparing it to the Stockholm
Arlanda Airport and the Hong Kong Chek Lap Kok Airport,which are being developed into Aertropoli (airport cities).The Christchurch International Airport has the advantage ofhaving its CBD that has closer proximity to it compared tothe two; however, the Christchurch Airport being a destinationhub and not a transfer hub, this does not fulfil the requirementfor an airport to be developed into an Aerotropolis.Throughout the research and analysis from the case studies,one of the main issues identified when compared to theChristchurch Airport was that the travel route from the CBDinto the airport is time and cost efficient in Stockholm andHong Kong, however with their airports at a greater distanceaway from their CBD, their travel route takes the same amountof time as you would travel from the Christchurch CBD intothe airport, with the distance being only ten kilometres.The design of a monorail route directly connecting the airport,driving through Memorial Avenue, Fendalton Road, HagleyPark and final through to the city centre. The intention is todirectly connect the city centre and the airport, creating aninstant and fast connection allowing passengers to travelmore efficiently, as well as acting as infrastructure for futuredevelopment. Once the route is set up, it will act as a corespine for development to be made around the airport area.The monorail system employed in this design uses hybridtechnology, combining fossil fuel and electricity whichbenefits Christchurch to become a more sustainable city inthe working.The design inspiration comes from the door of the old gothicChristchurch Cathedral, an arch; symbolises a doorway intoChristchurch. Not only the arch can be multiplied to makevaults, bearing weight of the rail piece, it is also a metaphorand reminiscence of the cathedral which is being demolished.The structure is made with the combination of a series of
Quadripartite vaults along the street, not only the monorailruns on the top of the vaults using a rail piece, inside the
vaults, new cycle lanes are laid to create a safer environmentfor cyclers as Christchurch is pushing itself to be the city forcyclers.Investigations were carried out on four chosen sections alongthe proposed monorail route, intending to look at existingroad layouts and propose new layouts (if necessary) to
incorporate the introduction of the rail structure.The four chosen sections are cutting through residential,suburban, park and urban areas. Residential areas runmostly along Memorial Avenue, being the older zones withmore aged houses that had been placed adjacent to eachother, with individual characteristics. The residential roadlayout currently has a large amount of pedestrian footpath,as well as a very wide road verge, which very fittingly can bereplaced with the rail structure. The removal of the big treeson the verge, replanting on the berm will be proposed as wellas narrowing down the footpath from 3m down to 2m on both
sides, can widen up current road use, making the inner lanea bus and car shared lane rather than using it just for streetparking, allowing traffic to flow smoother during peak hours.
Suburban areas are situated closer to the park and centralcity, with more modern designs and structured suburbplanning, houses were being developed in larger numbers,and building characteristics are similar. The existing suburbanroad layout consists of a wide verge, and the berms on theside of the road, cycling lanes on the outer edge of the road,but only wide enough for one cyclist to use. The proposedlayout consists of narrowing the berm on the side of the roadand to replace the verge with the rail structure, this will widenthe lanes, allowing the outer lane to be used as a bus onlyland during peak hours. Cyclists will be now riding under therail structure under the vaults in the strictly cyclists lanes.Such proposal will allow the bus services to be more efficientduring peak hours, as well as allowing better flow for trafficduring non-peak hours.
The Hagley Park section shows the current use of the parkpaths, for both pedestrians and cyclists. The current parklayout is bound by the road, and throughout the park, onlycycling lanes are laid throughout the park to allow cyclists togo enter. The proposed layout introduces the monorail lineinto the park on the chosen direction it will drive into the city,allowing cyclists to go from the main road and enter directlyinto the park. Also benefits the passengers on the monorailto enter the park, amongst the trees, which emphasises thatChristchurch is a garden city.
Urban housing located in or near the city centre, with higherdensity compared to residential and suburban housing,to accommodate the busy lifestyle of the central city. Theexisting road layout involves a lot of street parking, widepedestrian footpath and only one flowing lane for traffic, whichalways cause congestions during peak hours. The proposed
layout introduces the berm back into the street, narrowing thefootpaths, planting short trees along the road to allow moregreenery into the city, letting passengers to ride amongst thetress. The outer lane on the road will be used as a normal laneduring the day, especially during peak hours, but can be usedfor parking. The introduction of the rail structure in the center
safely into the central city.
With proposal made for road layout changes, the rail structureis in place for allowing connection on the route proposedconnecting the airport and central city.
The passenger rail hub design is inspired by the Gothic arch;it corresponds to the vault structure that it is sitting on. Theroof is composed of two point-facing arches, one biggerthan the other, the smaller being the end of the hub, wherepassenger cannot access, and the bigger being the hub exitfor passengers. The curved staircase is also composed by alarger arch, creating a grand staircase down to the pedestrianfootpath, where the passengers enter and exit the hub. The
staircase bends over the rail line, where the monorail drivesright under the staircase, creates an open and accessiblearea for passengers to flow through.
The hub design will be placed at every stop along theproposed route. Changes are made depending on thedifferent conditions of the road layouts throughout the

Memorial Avenue is the main route to the ChristchurchInternational Airport from the CBD and vice versa. This meansthat this is the first street that passengers and tourists will seeas they arrive into Christchurch.
After the site visit, I have found that the street is full of residentialhousing as well as a large number of roadside parking.
Seeing this as a tourist, this did not create a beautiful imageto me as a first impression, the city owns the name as theGarden City, however, there are no signs of work to be done tostreetscape development other than a large number of existingtrees along the street.

The design inspiration comes from the Gothic Arch, as Christchurch is anold Gothic city, employing an old system seem to be the most fitting.
The arch symbolises the front door of the old Christchurch Cathedral, therail line acts as the front door into the city from the airport, where the firstpassenger hub is placed.
The arch is constructed in a systematic way, allowing it to be multiplied,creating the Quadripartite Vault. The vault bears all the load from the trainand the rail piece on top.
All aspects of the design is related to the arch, including the hub design, inplan, the roof and the staircase are both arch inspired.

The rail structure is composed mainly with vaults, highest being10 metres and lowest being 8 metres.
The train travels along the 10 metre height, as it reaches a hub,it slowly descends, until it reaches 8 metres, where the hub issituated. Vice versa, as the train leaves the station, it climbs upthe slope again until it reaches 10 metres where it shall reach thehighest speed.
As the height is changing, the size of the vaults are still the same(as shown on the elevation and plan above), only the height ofthe columns governs the height of the vaults. This way, the useof the road would not need to be changed, creating efficiencyof road use.
This is a free standing structure, all of the weight on the rail isdistributed down the columns through the vaults, taking on
the ancient Gothic system. Using an old system, in an old city,serving it as a monument.
