We Are Coming Home To Chch
Trevor : January 15, 2012 11:49 pm : Architectural, Front Page, illustrationWe are coming back. Life in Blenheim over the last year has been very nice but we can’t get past the fact that we miss our home. There are so many things that I plan to do in 2012. Being back in Christchurch, despite it’s current state, will make it so much easier.
We will be back in the first half of February.
This is an animation of a home I did recently

This article about the German town of Freiburg is very interesting. When the French military base closed in the 90′s green activists moved in to the area and it has become an innovative and sustainable urban development. I hope Christchurch planners and residents are looking at examples like this.
