The cartoon shows a large church and two other buildings swaying around on spiral earthquake strengthening seismic restraints. As they sway they ring 'doing, doing!' Refers to the intention to strengthen buildings after the Christchurch earthquake of 4th September and its numerous after shocks.

Text at the top of the cartoon reads 'NZ city strengthening?' A whole city enclosed in a glass dome and balanced on huge springs intended to make it earthquake resistant rocks as another aftershock hits. Context - Two earthquakes and hundreds of aftershocks have hit Christchurch, the first on 4 September 2010 and a second more devastating one on 22 February 2011. There has been great emphasis on making heritage buildings that are rebuilt and all new buildings earthquake resistant. The example in the cartoon is perhaps a Springs-with-damper base isolator.

One portrait colour digital photograph taken on 19 November 2011 showing the framework of the Lyttelton Coffee Company Building surrounded by safety fencing. On the fencing are election hoardings and an advertisement for Samo, the café established by employees of the Lyttelton Coffee Company. Prior earthquake strengthening enabled the Lyttelton...

Visible to the left is the Lyttelton Coffee Company building being repaired. Prior earthquake strengthening enabled the Lyttelton Coffee Company to undertake w...
Sadly the days are numbered after the 6.3 quake that hit Christchurch 22 February 2011! You can see the blue streel strengthening on the tower from the earthquake on 4 September 2010. Also if you look closely you can see the cracks that have determained its fate! Press L.
Efforts are being made to shore up and strengthen this building (corner of Hereford Street / Manchester Street) to save it from demolition after it suffered structural damage in the magnitude 7.1 earthquake that struck Christchurch on Saturday 4 September 2010.
