Christchurch’s Re:Start Mall was built as a temporary shopping space as a devastating earthquake brought their city down in February 2011. 5 years on, these container buildings serve as a tourist attraction and a fresh start to the Kiwis.

Project like this to rebuild buildings that was brought down by natural disaster always have a personal touch and stories behind it. As we cannot control natural disaster, we do able to plan what goes after the disaster is gone. This was good planning on behalf of the city to use this containers to build shopping space, not only for the locals but it has become a tourist attraction as well, bringing the revenue back to the city.
