Te Pae Christchurch Convention and Exhibition Centre / Woods Bagot + Warren & Mahoney
Bi-cultural spirit: The convention center that turned its back on the typical ‘big box’ - In a plane flying over the broad Rakaia River on the approach to Christchurch, Woods Bagot architect Bruno Mendes was struck by an idea. It was 2014 and Mendes was traveling to a workshop early in the design of the building. Seizing the opportunity to photograph the distinctive braided riverbed seeded a prescient and crucial design idea.
