Description: Under the caption 'Eliminate controversy & rebuild with cardboard...cheap, recyclable and NOT permanent', Christchurch institutions are presented as being built out of cardboard. They include the cathedral (with umbrella), the pier, Avon river punts, the Gondola, the CBD, statues, The Chalice, the Mayor and the Hagley cricket oval. In July 2013 the temporary 'Cardboard Cathedral' designed by the architect Shigeru Ban after the the Christchurch earthquakes, was damaged by heavy rain. Many claimed that the material and design used could lead to a plethora of shoddy, badly designed buildings in the Rebuild.

Description: Shows in several cameos the process of rebuilding Christchurch. The Mayor Bob Parker and Minister for Earthquake Recovery Gerry Brownlee try to figure out where the trams will go. The architects have been thrown into a rubbish bin, Mickey Mouse and Goofy pass documents from one to the other, a huge iron removes broken buildings and bumps from the landscape, two men poke out each other's eyes in peer reviews and two other men try to decide which of several horrible colours goes best with liquefaction. Context: the problems associated with the rebuilding of Christchurch and a sense that the advice of architects is being ignored and important design decisions being made by incompetents and bureaucrats.
