Project Details
This project first came to the attention of Nulook®, Raylight Aluminium in September 2011 when approached by Naylor Love in Christchurch. Raylight were asked to present a confidential proposal and budget estimate for the temporary “Cardboard Cathedral” as per the drawings prepared by Shigeru Ban. At this stage the glazing was all to be Poly-carbonate to suit the lightweight construction. The Rose Window was to be triangles of different colours.
Shigeru Ban is world renowned for his buildings and this project was seen as an opportunity to put Christchurch on the world “architectural map” during the rebuilding of the city following the devastating earthquakes which partially destroyed the landmark stone cathedral in Cathedral Square.
The Christchurch Cathedral Group are the owners of the building which is built on land owned by St John’s of Latimer Square and will be utilised by the Cathedral until a permanent replacement is decided upon and constructed.
Nulook®, Raylight Aluminium, who have been in business since 1967, supplied the aluminium joinery. This included the Altus® Window Systems Sovereign-Series™ frames to the container windows which form the base of the building and are utilised as office space, Altus® 100mm Commercial sliding doors to the main entry and 40mm frames to the Rose Window. Coltilite Louvres were imported based on predetermined sizes with a lead time of 4 – 5 months for the south wall of the building.
