We stood there, speechless, watching the earthquake damage to the once-stunning old cathedral. The only life to see is the many birds perched on the remains of this once proud prayer site, one of the locals telling us it was being rebuilt and the damaged clock was once again sent to British manufacturing companies for repairs, which is good news for the cathedral.

Obviously they just decided to rebuild the church. At the moment it is like a scar that reminds people of what it has been through. Rebuilding gives people hope that the city will regenerate. The city is now empty because many people have moved to the suburbs and are not coming back.

纸板教堂在基督城的市中心,景点之类的都特别近。这个教堂特别的地方是,基本上是用硬纸板之类的搭建的。一般教堂都极尽富丽堂皇,这个就是在大地震之后,屋子短缺,用简单的材料,却重现了教堂的庄严肃穆感,同时也非常明亮。可是说是非常体现设计师用心的地方。
虽然作为一个临时教堂,这个纸板大教堂代替了拥有悠久历史的圣公会大教堂,但是这个纸板大教堂预计可以维持五十年,直到这里有一个更永久的教堂出现为止。纸板教堂的架构简单,它采用的是A型结构,再加上98个同样大小的纸板管,构成了最安全的抗震建筑。这里阳光充足、环境优美,可以容纳700人进行礼拜。
纸板大教堂是基督城中最有名的一座创意型建筑,不仅造型奇特呈三角形,他的窗户五颜六色非常斑斓夺目,更重要的是它的支架结构,完全由一根一根粗的纸管制成,不仅牢固而且能够抗击地震,在这次基督城大地震中,它就完好无损的保存了下来,可见他是多么伟大的设计。
