Ban, who has donated his services on similar churches throughout areas of the Eastern Hemisphere which faced similar <i>acts of God</i>, expects the cardboard cathedral to last 50 years if needed.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHePXCP-PuRuaWt3GCUAOlytsiFvQP1ja4xduBZC8xU-SVuU5SSUN2iTwLxMV3NvDV6tLY-8mlncex-bUYPtqmLdmdD9ia8ZsGr4s6sLAQfuCc7qpncqZaQDqopsm9Pyca_CzGOcNQz04/s1600/ChristchurchCathedral.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHePXCP-PuRuaWt3GCUAOlytsiFvQP1ja4xduBZC8xU-SVuU5SSUN2iTwLxMV3NvDV6tLY-8mlncex-bUYPtqmLdmdD9ia8ZsGr4s6sLAQfuCc7qpncqZaQDqopsm9Pyca_CzGOcNQz04/s400/ChristchurchCathedral.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Above you can see Scott's stone <a href="http://www.cardboardcathedral.org.nz/">ChristChurch Cathedral</a> from 1904 before the damage and below the devastation numerous earthquakes in recent years had wrought.  The decision phase has been hard on the church as they decide whether or not to rebuild or if the damaged building was salvageable; turns out that sadly the existing church could not be saved. The city and preservationists were also involved as the Cathedral is a local landmark and a category #1 historic place ranking within New Zealand.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4FQXl98JgTtwZ7GkO3SbGN37Sb3PobdpAEc2TeAYGxi4PGJ8ZFCcFD0Xqu8FT8y9610Ut9uhySdNNCnn4Eec0SgrDKGKYHOKjN85Rla_Ja7FOxAmpWgpsjQjdhy-v6KbBM6Q4rIdrlo/s1600/cardboard-christchurch-cathedral-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="255" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4FQXl98JgTtwZ7GkO3SbGN37Sb3PobdpAEc2TeAYGxi4PGJ8ZFCcFD0Xqu8FT8y9610Ut9uhySdNNCnn4Eec0SgrDKGKYHOKjN85Rla_Ja7FOxAmpWgpsjQjdhy-v6KbBM6Q4rIdrlo/s400/cardboard-christchurch-cathedral-1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>When I first read the article I was outraged at the current state of the architectural profession that a 50 year life expectancy was deemed an adequate replacement for such a structure - or in fact any structure. We talk so much about being 'green' but replacing buildings every 20-50 years is the anti-thesis to green. Buildings in Europe are in use that are a thousand years old which is a whole lot more 'green' than a lot of current building practices.....but that's a topic for another blog post. I was wrong in fact and the cardboard Cathedral is a temporary structure; crisis adverted.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCj0vqxQTNeEhw4VCEB_AQ2LawODs8Fxcht_dTjqF9XTe_nHBo1-NAOQW8W2CfncNp_tQaRxhSKlF5ROHGTQATkDfMQ6_N7CdfxGe1_zXdqEYuW0H8NtqFMBiq1-dvOx5ma3ndxoO1-k/s1600/Church+after+earthquake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJCj0vqxQTNeEhw4VCEB_AQ2LawODs8Fxcht_dTjqF9XTe_nHBo1-NAOQW8W2CfncNp_tQaRxhSKlF5ROHGTQATkDfMQ6_N7CdfxGe1_zXdqEYuW0H8NtqFMBiq1-dvOx5ma3ndxoO1-k/s400/Church+after+earthquake.jpg" width="298" /></a></div>Can you imagine such a tragedy to your own church or landmark?
