General Research on Christchurch Artesian Aquifers

Daniel Y. Sophia K. Natalee T.

Understanding Christchurch Aquifers Aquifers are water-bearing layers which yield water in sufficient quantities to be a practical source of water supply. The diagram illustrates the distribution of the aquifers below Christchurch region. The densely distributed lines reflect that there is a considerable amount of water content below Central Christchurch. While aquifers provide clean water to the region, it makes Christchurch region more vulnerable to liquefactions in seismic events.

Performance of the aquifers

The section diagram summarises the abstractive performance of the aquifers that have been identi ed and presents piezometric level (the level that water stands in a bore) which has been measured in a network of bores to provide information about the response to river ows, climatic variations, ocean tidal loading near the coast, earth tide, earthquakes, and the e ects of abstractions via production bores.

Distribution of Aquifers in Christhurch Region

Layers of aquifers acrosses west to east consists of more layers and are more densely-distributed compared to from North to South. This con rms that the owing direction of the aquifers in Christchurch region is mainly from west to east. As they reach towards the East coast, con ning layers become thicker and the water is more clean.

Extracting the patterns

From the aquifer distribution patterns, the position of water content and depths can be determined; these diagrams illustrate the property of each section of aquifer and generate patterns to inform further development.

Line 1 From Kaipoi River to Kairaki The North-eastern Line has a rather shallow bore depths and a high amount of water content. This happened probably due to the intersection of Waimakariri River. The water circulation in this section is rather straight forward and more direction.

Line 2 From Hoon Hay to Pegasus Bay The west to east line cut through Central Christchurch has a deeper bore depths and a more sophisticated combination of layer of aquifers, and as a result the water circulation is more closely distributed

Performing Arts Precinct

A Performing Arts Precinct is proposed to offer facilities for music and theperforming arts, and to act as a catalystfor recovery. The precinct will embrace different sites and will support co-locationof organisations as far as is possible. The precinct designation will be sufficientto provide for a range of facilities in theevent that the Town Hall cannot berepaired. It will be in close proximity to theConvention Centre, Papa o tkaro/AvonRiver Precinct, hospitality providers and hotels. The Precinct could include a performing arts centre made up of two auditoria of 1,500 and 500 seats respectively, with an appropriately high-quality acoustic environment. It could also provide a permanent home for the Court Theatre, the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, and the Music Centre of Christchurch. The location of the Performing Arts Precinct recognises the restoration of the Isaac Theatre Royal in its existing location.

CCDU Proposed Performing Arts Centre

As a significant sector of Christchurch City, the Recovery Plan has proposed a Performing Arts Precinct on the North edge of the central core, intersecting the Avon River. The yellow shaded buildings indicate the locations of the Performing Arts Centre, while blue indicates the proposed site for the project.

The Axononmetric diagram illustrates the spatial arrangment of the new Performing Arts Centre. The site right to the Armagh Street Foyer - the former Vodafone NZ building has been demolished. The site provides new potentials for buildings that could accomodate a mix of programmes as it locates in a transitional position of the city.

Site Selection
The site choice was made based on the multiplicity of the location. The central city is located to the south, and the residential area on the north, along with the city green belt on the east. Also the site is located in the proposed performing arts precinct. All these create a fusion of programme and qualities to the area, and also opened up possibilities for the programme.

Diagram Below: Potential programmes are classified into categories of live, work, and play. The very property of fluidness of the Christchurch artesian aquifers is incorporated in order to blend all programmes into a continous, flowing space.

Potential Hyrid programme

The Site has a total area of 1296 Squaremeters. It is located on the boundary of the centre core of the New Christchurch City plan and right within the new Performing Arts Precinct. As a result, it has a diverse potential for a range of programmes and functions. The concept of Live, Work, and Play outlines andaccomodate this diversity.
