Pauling, Craig and Kepa Morgan. ‘Te Kaupapa o te Whare: House of Tahu Cultural Sustainability Assessment.’ Report for Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu. 2006. [discusses outcomes from charettes and compiles a list of design values for Ngai Tahu buildings]
Tau, Te Maire. ‘Cultural Report on the Southwest Area Plan for the Christchurch City Council.’ [area specific but still very interesting]
Christchurch City Council. ‘South-west Christchurch Area Plan: Phase 1 Report—Tangata Whenua Values.’ 2008.

48 Hour Design Challenge
The 48hr Design Challenge, run by the Christchurch City Council and held at Lincoln University, provided an opportunity for Council to gain inspiration from the design and architecture industry, while testing the draft Central City Plan currently being developed.
A total of 15 teams took part in the Challenge, with seven people in each including engineers, planners, urban designers, architects and landscape architects, as well as one student on each team.
The four sites within the Red Zone included the Cathedral Square and BNZ Building; 160 Gloucester Street; the Orion NZ Building at 203 Gloucester Street; and 90 Armagh Street, including the Avon River and Victoria Square. The fifth site, which sits outside the Red Zone, is the former Christchurch Women’s Hospital at 885 Colombo Street.
