Banks Peninsula was once an
island. It was the result of
two Hawaiian shield volcanoes
errupting 12 - 6 million years
ago. Shield volcanoes are
nearly entirely made of lava
flows. During the last glaci-
ation the mainlaind and this
peninsula were joined up as the
sea was filled with outwashed
sediments. This is known as
the Cantebury Plains today and
includes Christchurch City

Glaciers
Outwash and aggradation
The Last Glaciation sometimes refered to as the Last Ice Age oc-
cured around 100 000 to 10 000 years ago. A glacier is a large
mass of ice the flows downwards. They carry rocks and soil with
them. As glaciers melt they create valleys and deposit sediments.This map shows the areas of Cantebury that have formed because of
this glaciation.

THE CHANGING SHAPE OF NEW ZEALAND
When completeting this research investigation I became curious with the vein
like shapes in Aerial Photography. The Cantebury plains are special to not
just New Zealand but the world in that there is extensive river braiding. The
reasearch we have completed shows the softness and the newness of Christchurch
and her District (it having not existed til the last ice age). This soft sed-
imentary outwash was a perfect scenario for the glacier melt and weather to
form braiding channels. The flows push it through and out creating not only
Cantebury but the majestic rivers that are a part of it

Discharge A straight channel ismore likely to form
when there is more
discharge
Slope Rivers are steeper intheir headwaters but
as it flows away slope
decreases. Its the
changes along with
discharge that make
braiding occur irregu-
larly
Vertical Limits The depth of the alluvial
aquifier
Lateral Limits The width of the flood
plains
Bedrock Eroded material forms the
basis of highly braided
rivers
Mountain RangeAssociation with steep
mountains can include cre-
ating own weather. High
rainfall etc can affect
the river channels and
increase/decrease braid-
ing.
Sediment Sediment yields from NZ
braided rivers are highest
for rivers anywhere in the
world. NZ is 0.2% landmass
of world but contributes
1% of sediment input to
worlds oceans
Size of Channels Braided Rivers have 1 ormore larger channels that
are sustained even through
flood and droughts. The
side braids are more sub-
ject to river fluctuations
Springs and Ponds Springs are common in
braided river plains but
only a small part of the
wet area. They keep tem-
perature stable. They are
distinct physicaly and
chemicaly. Can use the
aquifiers to sustain
height of water. Also hasclarity in water.
Lentic/slow moving water
like ponds form at inter-
sections with ground water
and can be seasonal.
What is a Braided River?
are characterised by having a
number of alluvial channels
with bars and islands between
meeting and dividing again,
and presenting from the air
the intertwining effect of a
braid. - S.N. Lane

Laminar Flow
A flow where turbulence is not shown is called a Laminar or stream-
line flow.
Meeting and Dividing
These points connect or separate two or more flows creating a braid-
ing effect
Multiple Braids
Side braids are maintained by ongoing glacier melt and rain.
This braiding is directly connected with slope, obstacles and/ordischarge
Eddy
Opposite of a laminar, an eddy is a reverse current. This occurs
when there is an obstacle or a change in turbulance

THE AVON PRECINCT
For the Avon Precinct the site has to be on the
river but the river covers most of the city. The
program calls for a stratified form. In the Intial
site plan the program was to spread throughout
the city. But there is too much distance between
points, walking is difficult. One could only ex-
perience one program in one visit. The site has
been then reduced to a small part of the riverbeds
in front of oxford terrace above cashel street.
This area was formally called the strip.

The Strip was Christchurchs restaurant and bar precinct before th
earthquake. it was heavily damaged and will now have to be demol
ished. It was once a lively meeting place for the young and the youn
at heart.
Currently the nightlife scene has moved out into the suburbs as th
Strip is now non existant. Even watching a movie is a little diffi
cult as many cinemas are closed. The social part of people cannot b
quelled and a revamp and remodelling of Christchurch is needed.
Like many cities the drinking precinct is always loathed by some. Th
Avon Precinct would use some of the same site as the strip but als
occupy the river banks on either side. This space would be respecte
and enjoyed by not just Christchurchs drinking citizens. Instead o
seeing the river as a background image or a simple hindrance, consid
ering it in a building is something that The Avon Dristict will trto portray.
Cashel Street is one of the more important public spaces in Christchurch
It is a social and retail hub that attracts many visitors, showin
off Christchurchs capacity to host. With the Christchurch earthquak
came dire consequences for the area but has been developed in the pas
year with the re:START Mall. This whole area is to become a pedestria
mall with a tram network to be introduced into the area. The Bridg
of Rememberance, a memorial to NZ Soldiers was significantly damage
but will be fixed.

Darkness has always
been associated with
the dangerous as-
pects of society.
Chrischurch could be
lit up and people
would feel more in-
clined to step out at
night than before
making the usuable
day longer
A succesful social
environment assures
there is always mo-
bility. Whether it
is walking or public
transport. with an
increase in interac-
tion there is more
need for infrastruc-
ture to be improved
and increased to in-
clude later operat-
ing times
The location of am-
menities and accomo-
dation can increase
the mobility as it
becomes easier.
Being near a central
hub of transport can
connect to more
people in outer sub-
urbs. the culture of
city living could be
made more popular as
there is something
to gain from being
near an active hot-
spot
The 9 to 5 opening
hours could be done
away with as the city
becomes alive at
night. In larger
countries, a lot of
the money to be made
is made after
sunset. as people
leave their desk
jobs and come out to
interact. the boost
in activity could
help local business.
after finishing work
it wouldnt just be
your local countdown
Interaction is what
would be ideal. The
more community and
culture that is to be
shared the better.
Christchurch needs
to liven up again.
The art of conversa-
tion can be saved if
we had more excuses
to meet face to face.
As social media
takes over there is
less need to grab a
coffee with a
friend.

FORM and Circulation
Thinking about deflection of flow and the pedestrian traffic behav-
iour. In New Zealand people are more comfortable walking on the same
side we drive on, the left. When spaces tighten, groups of people
form a V shape This has helped to inform the tapered ends of the
form concept.
People do not often travel alone if they can avoid
it. 50-70% of Pedestrians are in groups of 2 or
more.
When spaces tighten people form a V shape when in
a group of 3 or a U shape when in a group of 4.
Smaller spaces or changes in path cause people to
walk slower.
People in different nations and cultures have ten-
dencys to stay to the left or right side. Pedes-
trian Traffic can prevent collisions if people
have similar inclinations. New Zealanders drive on
the right hand side therefore more likey to stay
to their left.
