The Christchurch Arts Centre was severely damaged following the February 22nd earthquake. The site has been designated as unsafe and is therefore closed. While severely damaged, the buildings are repairable, and because of their historical importance they will be saved for future generations. However, it is uncertain how much it will cost to repair the buildings, where the funds will come from, the extent of restoration and strengthining required, and the time frame needed. So it may be years before the building reopens. The Temporary Contemporary Arts Centre is designed to give the Arts Centre a temporay home while the buildings are strengthened and restored. The new building is programatically similar to the Arts Centre in that it is a mixed use building, the aim is to create a vibrant quality of life to attract a range of visitors. In addition to the programs already found in the Arts Centre, the Temporary Contemporary Arts Centre will appartments making for a place with activity throughout the day and evening. The architecture proposed borrows from the past and adapts to the future. To do this I have referenced ornamentation from the Art Centre and adapted it to generate the form, spatial organization and materiality. Through the reuse of an ornament I have drawn a link to the past while also moving it into the future through applying ornament in a new and different way. The proposed building looks at how ornament was applied to architecture in the past, and how it is being applied today; today ornament is no longer just an embellishment but it is integrated into the building to form a whole.
What youre seeing now is a series of gaps that have appeared- huge slices of the city, huge gaps in peoples memories. Its about the loss of memory of the city, the loss of 150 years of European Settlement.

Definition:

The word Concrete comes from the latin word concretus (meaning compact or condensed), the perfect passive participle of concrescere, from con. (together) and crescere (to grow).

What is Cement?

Cement is a material component of concrete. It is classified the chemically active component, but its reactivity is only brought into effect when mixed with water.This reaction is called hydration Cement is a mixture of proportioned and finely interground mixture of portland cement clinker and a small amount of certain substances such as lime, magnesia, (Gypsum)calcium sulphate, etc. +

Substances

Cement

Chemical Composition:

Portland cement clinker is made up of four major compounds: Tricalcium Silicate (C3S), Dicalcium Silicate (C2S), Tricalcium Aluminate (C3A) and Tetra Calcium Aluminate (C4AF). A small quantity of other substances such as Lime (CaO), Magnesia (MgO), Calcium Sulphate (CaSO4), Silica (SiO2 ), Alumina (Al2O3), Iron Oxide (Fe2O3), Sulphur Trioxide (SO3), Alkaliks (Na2O + K2O) are also added.

Compounds

The Silicates C3S and C2S are the main components responsible for the strength of the cement. C3A is the least stable, where cement containing more than 10 % is prone to Sulphate attack which, causes an overall loss in strength. C4AF is of less importance than the other componets. It does not have a significant effect on the behaviour. However, it can increase the rate of hydration of the silicates. The added substances CaO, MgO and CaSO4 should not exist in excess quantities as they may expand on hydration or react with other substances in the aggregate and cause the concrete to disintegrate. These compounds affect the speed and time of hydration, as well as the strength developmen of the concrete.

textured surfaces: exposed(washed)concrete

broom finish

salt finish

seeded aggregate finish

technique:

the top layer of concrete is washed away, exposing the natural aggregate stones used in the concrete.

the concrete is troweled to a smooth surfaced and then broomed to create a higher traction surface.

rock salt is seeded into the concrete surface, then washed away resulting in small pits in the surface of the concrete.

small decorative stones are imbedded into the top layer of concrete, and during the finishing process, exposed to give a pebble texture to the concrete finish.

stamped concrete

stained concrete

coloured concrete

technique:

concrete is typically installed and then stamped with large cookie cutter like patterns.

stains or dyes are applied to the surface of the concrete to improve or change its appearance.

concrete can be colored in two ways, through an integral mix that is added when the concrete is mixed at the plant, or by dusting on a top coat of colored powder than gives a colored finish to the top layer of concrete only.

The origins of the Christchurch Cathedral date back to the plans of the Canterbury Association who aimed to build a city around a central cathedral and college in the Canterbury region based on the English model of Christ Church, Oxford.

Rose Window

A Rose Window is a generic term applied to a circular window. It is especially found in churches of the gothic architectural style. It is composed of patterned tracery arranged in petal-like formation. The window openings are filled with stained glass designs. Stained glass windows served three purposes in Gothic architecture: Added beauty to the structure, allowed more light into the structure and the stained glass designs of biblical accounts served as bible for the illiterate people. A Quoin is a stone or brick helping to form a corner of a wall of masonry.

Site Motive

The proposed site for the Contemporary Temporary Arts Centre had to accomodate all the group memebers. The proposal needs to be highly accesible so that it can generate a flow of people from all around Christchurch. This site provides the perfect oppertunity for this. Blenheim Road and Deans avenue create a prominent corner which is accesible via car, train, walk, cycle and bus. Its placement is ideal next to one of Christchurchs main train stations, a mall and Hagley park which connects back to Christchurchs CBD. The proposed building is to be an Iconic building in Christchurch which will reconnect the people of Christchurch with history that is lost. It will also be an achor point for exciting new architecture to develop down Moorhouse Avenue. C O N T E M P O R A R Y T E M P O R A R Y A R T S C E N T R E

Accesibility- The building should be accesible by all means of public and private transport. Permeability- Many points of entry from the street and associated alternative routes. Density- The new building should be arranged to achieve a distinctive street presence, while ensuring continued permeability from the street. Open Space- Particular emphasis is required to achieve distinct open space(s) within the site.
