Christchurch Town Hall - old dunger or heritage icon?
The recently reopened Christchurch Town Hall is one of the city's landmark heritage buildings.
In this talk, Ian Lochhead, editor of the book, The Christchurch Town Hall 1965 - 2019: A Dream Renewed, reflects on the building's national and international significance and asks the question: "how did a small city far from the world's 'centres of culture' come to build an auditorium that helped to redefine what a late twentieth-century concert hall could be?"
The lecture also examines the Town Hall's importance for Christchurch's identity in the 21st century.
The Rose Historic Chapel will open at 5.30pm.
