Continue reading →: Ephermeral City, Cardboard Replica Cathedral, Christchurch Arts FestivalBuilt using just cardboard boxes and tape, this cardboard replica version of the Cathedral was constructed yesterday in Market Square in the Arts Centre as part of the Arts Festival.

Continue reading →: H & M Store and The Crossing Retail PrecinctWelcome to your new city. If you have not been into the central city for a few months, you are in for a very big surprise. It feels like a different place. And today, with the opening of the H & M store, the central city was buzzing with people…
