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. Dissatisfaction with the Mayor, Bob Parker, is also expressed in the cartoon. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).

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).

Description: An architect seeks the approval of the urban design panel of an unnamed local authority. He has no answer to the panel's concerns for the environment, heritage, energy efficency, aesthetics, quality of building and other factors. In return he presents his case for the proposal, based on his wealth, legal team, social prominence, lifestyle, pragmatism and 'religion ('philistinism'). The panel, he asserts, has no power 'to make me do anything'. The panel replies by designing a trapdoor to send him hurtling into oblivion. As the panel notes 'Ah! There's nothing like a simple architectural solution...' The tension between urban design and architects' proposals were accentuated over such matters as the Christchurch Rebuild.
