A Milestone in New Zealand civic architecture, and one of the country’s most acclaimed buildings, the Christchurch Town Hall was much longed-for. Christchurch residents waited almost 100 years for a town hall of their own and helped finance what was to become the centre of public life. The expression of its structure and materials are key characteristics of this modernist masterpiece, while the internationally acclaimed auditorium with its groundbreaking acoustic design is its feature.
