New Zealand ’s ChristChurch Cathedral was earnestly damaged in a2011 earthquake . The historic place of adoration is go to be remade shortly , but how ? The city ’s Anglican bishopric , the property trustees , and the cathedral project radical have make out up with three dissimilar option the remodel , and anyone canvote .
check out out the three pick above . From left to right field , you ’ll see a historic restoration , a traditional renovation , and a contemporary interpretation . Each one keep some morphologic unity of the original construction , but they ’re all completely unlike . Organizers are taking into account the somewhat contradictory anteriority of the rebuild — the mission of the church , the history of the place , the building ’s status as a historical turning point , and so on — so they ’re check public meeting place this calendar month to hear feedback before relieve oneself a concluding decision .
Here ’s what the poor Christian church looks like now :
This is option one , the diachronic restoration . It would restore the building to its original form , while bring it up to current building code . But it would also be the most expensive and time run through .
Here ’s option two , the traditional redevelopment . It would reinterpret the original gothic chassis in the nave of the church with new wooden timbre . It would also improve on acoustic , accessibility , and circulation , and it would be more earthquake resistant . However , the added safety factor would imply sacrificing some of the historical feature film of the duomo .
And finally , option three , the contemporary redefinition , would be all different . Designed by local firm Warren & Mahoney , it would have a lightweight timber frame that gives the church building a totally fresh skeleton . It would be the fast , cheap , and most technologically advanced , but it does n’t do much , if anything , to carry on the original structure .
Which pattern would you choose ? Or would you trash the whole matter in favour of something dissimilar ? [ DesignBoom ]
