Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch.

🌟❤ ✅The Cardboard Cathedral in Christchurch, New Zealand, is a transitional building temporarily built after the 2011 earthquake. It is famous for its unique building material - specially treated paper material. ✅The cathedral was designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban, who used specially treated paper boards as the main building material. ✅The entire cathedral is A-shaped, with 98 cardboard tubes of the same height as the main load-bearing components. There are certain gaps between the cardboard tubes on the roof. The afternoon sun shines through the gaps into the room, making the room particularly peaceful, bright and warm. ✅The colored glass on the front of the cathedral was moved from the original Christchurch Cathedral, which was destroyed by the earthquake in 2011. ✅The cathedral doesn't look very big, but it is very spacious inside. It is said that it can accommodate 700 people. The central altar, seating area and other facilities are very complete. ✅The cathedral is free to visit. Although it is a temporary building, it is said to be usable for 50 years. 🕙Opening hours: Monday to Saturday 9:00-16:00 Sunday 7:30-17:00 ❤Recommended tips: The building under the night light is unique
