Christchurch's Transitional 'Cardboard' Cathedral was designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and constructed on the site of the former St John's Latimer Square Anglican Church. The Cardboard Cathedral opened to the public on 6 August 2013 with a Diocesan Dedication Service on 15 August. It has seating for 700 and the Cathedral also provides a venue for concerts, exhibitions, and civic and community events. The Cathedral makes use of varied construction materials from cardboard tubes to timber beams, structural steel and concrete. It is the largest 'emergency structure' to be designed by Shigeru Ban. The triangular window design includes 49 panels and incorporates images from Christ Church Cathedral's original rose window.
