This ingeniously designed temporary cathedral rises from Christchurch's recovery journey, constructed entirely from cardboard tubes and steel that create a warm, luminous interior flooded with natural light. Built as a spiritual gathering place following the 2011 earthquake, the papier-mâché walls and soaring cross offer visitors a moving symbol of resilience and creative renewal in a city rebuilding itself.
