The cardboard church is very close to the center of Christchurch, attractions and the like. This church is special, basically built with cardboard and the like. Generally, the church is very magnificent, this is after the earthquake, the house is short, with simple materials, but the church's solemn sense of the state, but also very bright. But it is a place that reflects the designer's intentions.

    We stood there, speechless, watching the earthquake damage to the once-stunning old cathedral. The only life to see is the many birds perched on the remains of this once proud prayer site, one of the locals telling us it was being rebuilt and the damaged clock was once again sent to British manufacturing companies for repairs, which is good news for the cathedral.

    Obviously they just decided to rebuild the church. At the moment it is like a scar that reminds people of what it has been through. Rebuilding gives people hope that the city will regenerate. The city is now empty because many people have moved to the suburbs and are not coming back.

    Although it was a temporary church, the cardboard cathedral replaced the historic Anglican cathedral, it is expected to last for 50 years until a more permanent church is present. The cardboard church is simple in architecture, with A-shaped structures, plus 98 cardboard tubes of the same size, making it the safest earthquake-resistant building. It is sunny and beautiful, and can accommodate 700 people.

    Cardboard Cathedral is the most famous creative building in Christchurch. Not only is it a strange triangle shape, but his windows are colorful and dazzling. More importantly, its bracket structure is completely controlled by a thick piece of paper, which is not only strong but also able to fight earthquakes. It was preserved intact in the Great Christchurch Earthquake, and it shows how great he was in design.

    In 2011, Japanese architect Matsuo Nakamoto came to Christchurch and built the world-famous "paper church" for locals, temporarily replacing the destroyed cathedral, which can accommodate 700 people and can host concerts and large events, with colorful windows as its unique symbol. Since then, this beautiful "paper church" has become a must-visit attraction for tourists. The cardboard church also has a collection box to encourage everyone to contribute to the reconstruction of the cathedral. The color drawing on the glass originated from the original cathedral. It is a tribute and a heritage.
