Open ChCh is a fabulous festival that enables local citizens to engage with local buildings beyond a ‘real estate’ type of viewing.

We owe a huge thanks to all our building partners who shared their exceptional works or architecture with everyone over Open Chch weekend. The Mayor of Christchurch @LianneDalziel invited people into the Mayoral Lounge and onto the balcony of the Civic Building @ChristchurchCC

We plan to carry on doing this! What a magical weekend. Thank you for coming out in your thousands, Ōtautahi Christchurch. Tell us your favourite architectural experiences from #openchch

Intrigued discussion hummed through New Zealand's oldest cell block as Cantabrians explored some of Christchurch's most interesting buildings. dlvr.it/SPYYys

Next stop on my voluntourism day out (thanks @openchch ) allowed me to hear an amazing talk by architect Peter Kent at the Ōruapaeroa/Travis Wetland info kiosk. Described as referencing neo - gothic, Māori & Japanese forms, it's a true wee gem sitting … instagr.am/p/CdAaujsLvh3/

Did the Ngāi Tahu art and architecture tour with Joseph Hullen. Was an incredible experience, from Margaret Mahy playground to Market Square. Perfect autumn day for @openchch exploring.

More from @openchch @ucnz forestry building open day at this fabulous 1970 brutalist building by Hall & Mackenzie. I feel like if you came here as a student, the architecture world really make you feel like you were part of something. instagr.am/p/Cc_wxWBPDPS/

Loved seeing the Hurst Seagar Red House. A stunner! There's nothing like getting to see inside places you've seen from the outside a zillion times. Thank you @openchch!

We were lucky to be at this one, a Sisters of Mercy chapel on the Villa Maria campus, when the architect was there. That’s a large pounamu cross inside another cross window. @openchch

Really enjoyed looking into the historic chapel of the Community of the Sacred Name, thanks to the innovative @openchch. Nurse Maude’s actual bike is still in the building too, but not pictured (these are sourced pics, not mine)

It's #OpenChch weekend! Even if you haven't booked in for any of the excellent events on offer you can still rock up to Tūranga and take a self-guided tour. Pick up a tour booklet on He Hononga | Connection, Ground Floor. openchch.nz
