VOL.42 Friday 7 May, 2021
TSB Space, Tūranga Central Library

Open Christchurch, a new and exciting architecture festival that celebrates the most exceptional architecture in Ōtautahi Christchurch. The underlying argument is 'good design improves lives' and that's why our theme for Vol.42 is Architecture Matters. We're inviting everyday humans to speak about why they think good architecture and design matters in their lives in the 20x20 format.
