Gap Filler Project 29: Audio Part 4

Audio, UC QuakeStudies

Part four of the audio that makes up Gap Filler's 29th project, the Transitional City Audio Tour. This part of the tour begins in the Re:Start Mall on Cashel Street and includes commentary on the performance Last Day of Mankind at the Bridge of Remembrance. The tour then moves up Oxford Terrace, along the banks of the Avon River, until it reaches Worcester Boulevard. Turning left, it travels down Worcester Boulevard, past the Christchurch Art Gallery, providing commentary on the new and old art in the area, and the Christchurch Arts Centre. Lastly, it moves up Montreal towards Cranmer Square.

Relationship between observed liquefaction at Kaiapoi following the 2010 D…

Research papers, The University of Auckland Library

The Darfield earthquake caused widespread damage in the Canterbury region of New Zealand, with the majority of damage resulting from liquefaction and lateral spreading. One of the worst hit locations was the small town of Kaiapoi north of Christchurch, an area that has experienced liquefaction during past events and has been identified as highly susceptible to liquefaction. The low lying town sits on the banks of the Kaiapoi River, once a branch of the Waimakariri, a large braided river transporting gravelly sediment. The Waimakariri has been extensively modified both by natural and human processes, consequently many areas in and around the town were once former river channels.

The temporary ASB branch in the Re:Start mall. The photographer comments, "The new temporary city mall has been open in Christchurch now for a week. Buildings damaged in the earthquake have been demolished and replaced with cargo containers to create a new, temporary, Cashel Mall. I visited the mall yesterday and was quite impressed with what they have done. The cargo containers have been nicely converted, brightly painted and smartly branded to create some good looking stores ... ASB is the only bank to grab a container, which is fair enough seeing as they appear to be a large sponsor of the mall. The 'Re:START' Cashel Mall signs also display the tag line 'Supported by ASB'".
