EXPLORING WORLD'S ONLY CARDBOARD CATHEDRAL, CHRISTCHURCH (NEW ZEALAND) ⛪
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a tour of this Cathedral, made out of cardboard and located in Christchurch, New Zealand. It is called transitional because it replaces, temporarily, the destroyed Cathedral from the 2001 earthquakes. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. New Zealand is an island nation in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900 mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600 mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga.

'Cardboard' cathedral rises in New Zealand
In February 2011, a major earthquake struck the New Zealand city of Christchurch, killing more than a hundred people and damaging many buildings, including the iconic Anglican Cathedral.
The city is hoping to open a new place of worship by December this year.
Now, a Japanese architect has designed a temporary and highly-innovative replacement made out of cardboard.
Al Jazeera's Belinda Henley reports from Christchurch, New Zealand.
Cardboard Cathedral rises in Christchurch, New Zealand
02/22/13) A possible glimpse into the future of the city of Christchurch and the Anglican diocese of the same name, a six-story temporary cathedral is being built of cardboard tubes, timber, steel and plastic, in the decimated central part of the city. The 700-seat building is expected to cost about US$4.34 million. By the time construction is complete at Easter, more than 17 suppliers and contactors will have donated an additional US$832,000 worth of time, labor and materials to its construction. The officially named Transitional Cathedral was designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban to be used for 20 years or more. He is known for such buildings and, especially, for developing effective, low-cost disaster-relief shelters.
New Zealand's 'Cardboard Cathedral'
Check out the upcoming 'Cardboard Cathedral' in New Zealand.
In February of 2011, the Christchurch Cathedral in New Zealand was left destroyed following the 6.3 magnitude earthquake.
The structure was previously a replica of one which resides in Oxford, England and it served as a major landmark in Christchurch, showcased on many postcards and tourism photos.
A Japanese male architect came to the rescue shortly after the disaster with plans in the making for a new 'Cardboard Cathedral'.
Known as a groundbreaker in emergency architecture, he has designed an A-frame building constructed of cardboard paper tubes to serve as a temporary replacement. Coated with flame retardants along with waterproof polyurethane, the tubes are manufactured locally.
The new cathedral rests on a concrete foundation, while eight shipping containers sit on top providing stabilization to the angled tubes and walls. The church along with insurance funds and private donations have funded the over $4 million project.
Construction is expected to be completed in April of 2013, and the building will be able to accommodate up to 700 people, available for use as a concert and event venue.
New cardboard cathedral project completed in New Zealand
Originally published on August 20, 2013
A $6 million cardboard cathedral designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban was officially opened to public on Thursday in the New Zealand city of Christchurch.
According to reports, the new cathedral replaced the city's old neo-Gothic church, which dominated the city's central square.
The old structure, from the Victorian-era, was badly damaged by a 6.3 earthquake in 2011 and demolished right after.
The new cathedral has a triangular A-frame design and it is made of cardboard tubes, timber beams, structural steel and a concrete pad. It includes stained glass windows and can seat as much as 700 people.
It is built to last for half a century, but according to AFP the Anglican Church plans to use it for a decade while it builds a permanent replacement for the church lost in the earthquake.
The building is also meant to be waterproof, although some of the cardboard tubing had to be replaced last month after torrential rain hit the city.
According to Reuters, the architect of the new cathedral, is known for his reinforced paper and cardboard structures, and designed a similar paper church after the 1995 Kobe earthquake in Japan.
Plans for the permanent church replacement have yet to be completed.

ChristChurch Cathedral is slightly different. The original Cathedral was badly damaged in the Christchurch earthquake in February 2011. We are operating from our new temporary home, the Transitional Cathedral in Latimer Square, Christchurch. It is the world’s only cathedral made substantially of cardboard.

Christchurch Cathedral (Cardboard Cathedral) By Shigeru Ban, New Zealand
Terremoto
El terremoto de Canterburyde 6,3 grados ha cambiado completamente la vida en la ciudad. Los ingenieros y arquitectos de la ciudad han tenido que responder inmediatamente a los destrozos generados. La catedral de cartón será el primer proyecto de gran envergadura en ser completado en la ciudad.
Cartón:
El cartón es un material ideal para la construcción por su fácil manejo, reciclabilidad y gran resistencia. La resistencia de un edificio no tiene nada que ver con la resistencia del material dice Shigeru Ban. Incluso los edificios de hormigón pueden ser destruidos por los terremotos. Por otro lado es low-cost. Normalemente después de los desastres, el precio de los materiales de construcción aumenta, sin embargo, el cartón, al no ser un material tradicional es sencillo y barato de obtener
Cimentación
Se asienta sobre una gran losa de hormigón armado de 90cm de espesor y más de 40.000 metros de acero que conforman su armadura. Esta losa está diseñada para soportar terremotos de modo que la estructura dispuesta sobre esta permanezca unida solidariamente.
Tubos
Los tubos están realizados en Christchurch, en manufacturas locales para conseguir dinamizar la economía y la industria del lugar tras el terremoto. La cercanía al lugar de la construcción permite ahorrar costos en transporte de mercancías. Los tubos están realizados con un papel específico robusto de alta densidad, muy resistente e idóneo para la aplicación en arquitectura. Este tipo de material es usado habitualmente como encofrado para columnas de hormigón y no han sido empleados en una construcción de semejantes características con anterioridad. Los tubos de cartón están enrollados con una capa interna de polietileno para dar resistencia al conjunto y encolar las sucesivas capas de papel. Posteriormente se barniza con poliuretano en el exterior para minimizar los daños del agua y los efectos de la humedad. Más de 60-70 voluntarios han ayudado en la construcción de la catedral. Aunque no son mano de obra especializada han sido capaces de barnizar los más de 1600m de tubos de cartón que se usaran en la nave.
Vidriera
La vidriera de la trinidad está compuesta por 49 vidrios serigrafiados de 2,1m de alto que reproducen las imágenes del rosetón original de la antigua catedral. Cada imagen se encuentra en la misma posición que en la vidriera original, así pues los paneles triangulares centrales reproducen imágenes de la rosa central mientras que el resto son composiciones de los fluorones adyacentes. Mediante un sencillo procedimiento se consigue dar presencia al alzado de la nueva catedral a la vez que se rememoran los restos de la antigua. El vidrio coloreado se serigrafía con imágenes a laser fundidas en el vidrio tras la impresión para lograr una placa resistente al desgaste.
Cubierta de policarbonato
El plástico empleado en el techo es policarbonato corrugado en sándwich translucido que permitirá durante el día dejar pasar la luz al interior de la iglesia para crear un ambiente etéreo y por la noche actuará como foco de luz dejando escapar la iluminación del interior de la iglesia. Además protegerá a la estructura de las precipitaciones. El policarbonato ha sido ensayado para soportar vientos de 300Km/h que lo convierten en apto para un edificio público del lugar.
Estructura
La premisa del arquitecto era proveer una estructura simple usando el mínimo número de materiales. Estos materiales están limitados a un revestimiento de policarbonato, cartón y madera en la estructura, acero en los contenedores y hormigón en la cimentación. El limitado uso de materiales permite mayor eficiencia en la construcción. Los tubos de cartón están soportados internamente por una viga de madera laminada contrachapada que conectan los contenedores de acero con la viga de cumbrera completando la estructura principal. La nave está rodeada por contenedores que transfieren la carga estructural hasta la cimentación y alberga capillas y despachos para la diócesis. Estos contenedores sirven para estabilizar la estructura y es un buen ejemplo de reutilización de materiales. El resto del edificio se completa con un revestimiento de policarbonato en la cubierta que permite filtrar la luz a través de los tubos de cartón al espacio principal.

Christchurch Cathedral - Six Years On
The floors a covered in a thick layer of pigeon poo that crunches after every step we take. The sound of Pigeons vigorously trying to escape the rooms we walk into breaks the dead silence inside. The floors of the offices are covered with old papers and belongings. Glass crunches underfoot as we enter the gift shop, souvenirs, post cards and jewelry are littered around the floor, the air is hot and musty. Six year old drinks still fill the fridges in the cafe. This building has been barely touched for six years, left to decay and fall apart after every small shake.
Video footage inside the earthquake damaged Anglican Cathedral in the Christchurch city center. The video shows parts of the cathedral unseen by the public since the Cathedral was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquakes, including the Cathedral offices, Gift Shop and Cafe.
I do not own the video footage at the beginning of the video showing the Cathedral before the earthquakes, credit to the owner:
*Disclaimer*
I did not enter the Cathedral with the intent to steal damage or vandalize the building, I was there strictly to document the buildings damage before the restoration began. On my visits to the Cathedral I nor the others who accompanied me broke, altered or removed anything from the buildings, we were there to take photos and only took photos.

We went into a cathedral in Christchurch that's actually partly made out of cardboard! The stained glass windows were really gorgeous. It's only designed to last for 50 years though - hence the transitional element.

Is this the year for Cathedral Square?
And is James Lunday, a self-described poacher turned gamekeeper, the man to deliver our dreams for this much-loved public space?
Lunday has a 20-year connection with the Square, having lived and worked in the Regent Theatre’s dome which collapsed in the February 2011 earthquake.
Now, as General Manager of Regeneration Planning for Regenerate Christchurch, Lunday has been tasked with “enlivening” Cathedral Square, “getting it back to better than it was before”.
Younger generations will be surprised to see archive footage of the Square as a busy, transport hub, surrounded by cinemas, theatres, cafes and bars.
With a nod to its historical roots, James Lunday wants to attract inner-city dwellers, and develop the Square into a bustling, vibrant, public space for the late 21st and 22nd century.
There’s talk of gondolas as public transport, opening up the streams under the Square, and creating a bigger and better Chancery Lane.
Christchurch Dilemmas asks what can we learn from the mistakes of the past? Can anything be done while the Square’s iconic centrepiece, Christchurch’s Anglican Cathedral, remains in ruins? And did you know the statue of John Robert Godley now has a flat-top head?
Can we fix the Square?
