A cardboard replacement for the earthquake-damaged Christ Church Cathedral could become a permanent feature of the new city.
Designs for the proposed temporary “cardboard cathedral” were unveiled in Christchurch yesterday by world-renowned Japanese architect Shigeru Ban.
The Anglican cathedral would be built with locally produced cardboard tubes erected in an A-shape, with shipping containers used as foundations.
What happens when it rains?
Jeremt,
They wrap it in wax paper.
Should have read, “Jeremy>” sorry.
It’s going to be waterproof and fireproof cardboard they will be using according to Peter Carrell.
In any case, a little less pretentious than the “Crystal Cathedral”
