RE: A tour of Christchurch city red zone
It was nice to see that some old grand buildings were going to be restored and for others, at least, their facades were to be retained with a new building behind them.
I was impressed by the magnitude of the buildings that had to be demolished but I guess that is consistent with our general approach to seismic design - let the building bend, perhaps let it be permanently damaged beyond repair, but keep it from collapsing and hurting people.
