T?ranga / Schimdt Hammer Lassen Architects + Architectus
The design of the five-storey, 9,500-square-metre library in Christchurch?s historic Cathedral Square supports the city?s desire for a public space that strengthens the community, advances literacy and lifetime learning, celebrates diversity of culture and heritage, draws people back to the city centre, and fosters innovation. Early in the design process, the architects collaborated withMatapopore Charitable Trust, an organization whose objective is to ensure the values, aspirations and narratives of the local Ng?i T??huriri people are realised throughout the recovery of Christchurch. Their influence on the design of the building is substantial?from building materials to physical orientation, there is a rich tapestry of ancestry, traditional knowledge, and culture woven throughout T?ranga.
