Open Christchurch: discover our central city's architecture
You're invited to One Christchurch - an opportunity to discover central city architecture through free, one-off access to special buildings, as well as a range of themed walking tours.
As part of the programme, presented by Te Pūtahi and supported by Resene, three inner-city school buildings will open their doors for one day only.
From Japanese-influenced timber architecture and a sky playground to a dining hall steeped in tradition, these buildings are engaging examples of how design impacts the students’ experiences at school.
The programme kicks off on Sunday 30 June with The Cathedral Grammar Junior School and is followed by two other school buildings opening in the weeks that follow: the stunning heritage building, Christ’s College Memorial Dining Hall (4 August); and Ao Tawhiti, Christchurch’s only vertical school (7 September).

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
