This thesis proposes a design solution that acts as a catalyst for transitional events to engender a sense of community and encourage investment back into the city of Christchurch.
The thesis asserts that a ‘Transitional City Project’ is an opportunity for the city in its post-quake rebuild period to strengthen Christchurch’s future event economy.
An event corridor along the Avon River is proposed to allow more engagement with transitional architecture. This, in turn, will energise Christchurch by inviting and encouraging various event programmes along the river.
The design requires landscaping of the Residential Red Zone beside the Avon River, where the land has been categorised for open space uses. By animating the river scene with transitional architectural structures, the intention is to bring liveliness into the corridor through interactive events which will also contribute to the residents’ quality of life.
The proposal challenges conventional attitudes regarding event venues. Whilst a permanent venue like the Town Hall may be more appropriate for the long term, the thesis asserts transitional architecture is a more appropriate solution during the city’s rebuilding phase because it provides immediate gathering points and events, essential for rebuilding community.
The design of an event corridor along the Avon River explores the idea by setting up three selected site case studies.The design comprises a series of transitional city projects along the river banks with the aim of providing a dynamic, eventful experience for the people of Christchurch as well as tourists and visitors.
The project sites are based on a conceptualised ‘confetti’ infrastructure which acknowledges the Avon River’s rich history of community gatherings. The design encourages more community involvement in event opportunities and extends the field of participation with the overall aim of promoting and recruiting community effort as part of the rebuilding process.
