Cardboard Cathedral är en tillfällig katedral i det anglikanska stiftet i Christchurch belägen i Christchurch, Nya Zeeland. Katedralen uppfördes efter ritningar av japanske arkitekten Shigeru Ban och öppnades i augusti 2013. I kyrkorummet ryms omkring 700 personer.

Kyrkplatsen ligger i hörnet av Hereford Street och Madras Street i Latimer Square, några kvarter bort från ChristChurch Cathedral, som skadades allvarligt vid jordbävningen 2011. På samma plats där Cardboard Cathedral numera står fanns tidigare St John the Baptist Church som raserades vid jordbävningen 2011.

Kyrkobyggnaden

Byggnaden reser sig 21 meter ovanför altaret. Material som används är 60 centimeter breda rör av kartong, trä och stål.[1] Taket är av polykarbonat.[2] Åtta containrar bildar väggarna. Grunden är en betongplatta. Arkitekten ville att kartongrör skulle vara konstruktionselement, men lokala tillverkare kunde inte producera tillräckligt tjocka rör och importerad kartong avvisades.[3] De 96 rören är förstärkta med limträbalkar och belagda med vattentät polyuretan och flamskyddsmedel. Rören har fem centimeter stora mellanrum för ljusinsläpp. I stället för ett nytt rosettfönster, har byggnaden trekantiga bitar av målat glas.[4] Byggnaden fungerar både som konferenslokal och som kyrka.[5]

I visited the cardboard cathedral today. It opened to the public yesterday and it was very interesting after documenting for so long. It isn't completely finished yet and shot be wonderful when it is. August 7, 2013 Christchurch New Zeadland.

The cardboard cathedral's opening festival began last night, with a performance by the Christchurch City Choir.

It was the first of 10 concerts as part of the cathedral's Joyfully Un-Munted Festival.

The cathedral, designed by Japanese architect Shigeru Ban and incorporating 98 beams encased in cardboard, had been subject to construction delays after initially being scheduled to open in February.

An emotional Bishop Victoria Matthews was finally handed a fitting cardboard key to the cathedral on Friday, to mark the structure changing hands from contractors to the Anglican diocese.

However, not everyone was sold on the cathedral's modern design. Ashburton residents Colleen Inwood and Norma Tait agreed while the cathedral was architecturally-sound, it was "very temporary".

The cathedral can accommodate up to 700 people and has an expected lifespan of 50 years. The north-facing Trinity Window, above the entrance, is made of coloured glass featuring images from the original Christ Church Cathedral's rose window, which collapsed in the June 2011 earthquakes.

It opened its doors to the public at 9am yesterday, to one solitary admirer.

Central city resident Ross Evans was the first to inspect the church when it opened at 9am. "I like the place, it sort of grows on you, doesn't it?"

About half a dozen people trickled in after Evans, and for Woolston resident Tau, it was a particularly special moment.

"This was the spot where I got married, in the old St John's Church in 1965," she said. "It's very interesting."

Last week there were questions raised over whether the $5.3 million temporary Anglican cathedral would be ready before its scheduled opening.

While there was still "fine tuning" to be done, in clearing the foyer and finalising places for furniture, volunteer manager Nicky Lee said it was "a relief to get to this point, but it's a real delight, too".

"There's always been a great sense of belonging in the city in regards to the cathedral," she said.

A service was held for the regulars on Sunday, and it was a "real sense of coming home for them".
