Horrible earthquake on the morning of 4 SEP 2010. Felt throughout New Zealand... Aftershocks still ongoing weeks after the 7.1M earthquake.
A view after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch 04 September 2010. Corner of Colombo and Byron Streets. Given a bit of a HDR process to add some of what I was "feeling" at the time.

20161112_9961_7D2-70 The future face of Christchurch? Cultivate Christchurch is operating this urban farm in the city, about 5-10 minutes walk to Cathedral Square. Many of the buildings in this area were demolished after the earhquakes, and in the background is a new building on Kilmore Street.
In the wake of a series of devastating earthquakes, Christchurch, New Zealand is faced with a long, complicated mourning and memorialisation process. The initial intention of this research was to comparatively examine memorial design theory with popular memorial sentiment as expressed in Christchurch City Council's 'Share an Idea' initiative. The outcome of such an investigation was hypothesized to reveal conflicting perspectives which may potentially be reconciled by the development of a series of schematic models for memorial design. As the research was carried out, it became clear that any attempt to develop such models is counter-intuitive. This position is reinforced by the literature reviewed and the data examined. Subsequently, a fundamentally different approach to memorialisation focused on an active participation process is suggested.
Christchurch's iconic Arts Centre has been off-limits to the public since it was damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes.
A new exhibition showcases relics found underneath Christchurch's Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, which was badly damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes.
