Christchurch art centre on a walk around the city to catch up with the earthquake rebuild with a Flickr friend. Christchurch September 2018 New Zealand.
The Arts Centre te Matatiki Toi Ora is housed in the Gothic Revival buildings of the University of Canterbury’s former town site. The centre is a national landmark and includes New Zealand’s largest collection of category one heritage buildings with 21 of the 23 buildings covered by Heritage New Zealand listings.
The University of Canterbury was founded in 1873. It moved in 1876 to the gracious 19th century Gothic-styled buildings (which now comprise the Arts Centre). The clock tower in Worcester Street was the first building constructed. It was designed by the pre-eminent Gothic Revival architect, Benjamin Mountfort, and was completed in 1877.
The rest of the stone buildings, designed by a number of prominent Canterbury architects such as Samuel Hurst Seager and William Barnett Armson and the firm of Collins and Harman, were added over the decades. This maze of inter-connecting buildings spread out over the whole 2.2 hectare town site. Included in this labyrinth were the original Girls’ High School on the corner of Rolleston Avenue and Hereford Street and the original Boys’ High School at 28 Worcester Street.
In the early hours of 4 September 2010, a major earthquake caused extensive damage throughout Canterbury. The Arts Centre te Matatiki Toi Ora buildings were damaged - collapsing chimneys damaged the Great Hall, the Observatory Tower and the Clock Tower.
The centre, which is held in trust for the people of Canterbury and its visitors, has been undergoing a large restoration since it was badly damaged in the 2011 Christchurch earthquake. Buildings are progressively reopening to the public as they are strengthened and repaired and more than half of the buildings have reopened.
The Arts Centre charitable trust is actively fundraising with the next stage to include the $10m restoration of the Observatory Tower and the restoration of the Physics, Biology and Engineering buldings. The Physics and Biology buildings will become home to a boutique hotel. The first buildings to reopen after the earthquake were Registry, Registry Additions and The Gym with Registry reopening in July 2013. The Great Hall opened in June 2016.

This is an amazing place. But you can only photographs the outside and NO PHOTOGRAPHY INSIDE.
The is an amazing chapel. Shame you cannot photograph the amazing inside. The guide and the history of the place is brilliant.
You would not be able to photograph because you are packed in like sardines. There are that many people visiting the chapel.

Day Eighteen .. having a look around Glasgow in the morning before heading south to England.
The awe-inspiring building dedicated to St Kentigern, also known as St Mungo, was built in the 1100s and drew countless pilgrims to his shrine. Today, it’s the most complete medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland, having survived the Protestant Reformation almost intact.
Glasgow Cathedral, also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Kentigern's or St Mungo's Cathedral, is the oldest cathedral on mainland Scotland and is the oldest building in Glasgow. Since the Reformation the cathedral continues in public ownership, within the responsibility of Historic Environment Scotland. The congregation is part of the established Church of Scotland's Presbytery of Glasgow and its services and associations are open to all. The cathedral and its kirkyard are at the top of High Street, at Cathedral Street. Immediately neighbouring it are Glasgow Royal Infirmary, opened in 1794, and the elevated Glasgow Necropolis, opened in 1833. Nearby are the Provand's Lordship, Glasgow's oldest house and its herbal medical gardens, the Barony Hall (Barony Church), University of Strathclyde, Cathedral Square, Glasgow Evangelical Church (North Barony Church), and St Mungo Museum.
The history of the cathedral is linked with that of the city, and is allegedly located where the patron saint of Glasgow, Saint Mungo, built his church. The tomb of the saint is in the lower crypt. Walter Scott's novel Rob Roy gives an account of the kirk.
Built before the Reformation from the late 12th century onwards and serving as the seat of the Bishop and later the Archbishop of Glasgow, the building is a superb example of Scottish Gothic architecture. It is also one of the few Scottish medieval churches (and the only medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland) to have survived the Reformation not unroofed.
