Description: A helicopter in Christchurch flies over newly constructed boxes, representing buildings, out of which ugly humanoid faces leer. A comment from the helicopter is 'Not ugly...Just architecturally challenged!'. The new buildings being put up in the aftermath of the Christchutrch earthquakes and demolition, owing to the constraints of excessive earthquake standards and cost, were drab, cheap-looking and unimaginative. The defence by some of their unnoticeable beauty seemed strained. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
