Beca Heritage Week 2008 is here now

Beca Heritage Week 2008

This year’s theme is RETROspective: Christchurch life, architecture and design 1940s – 1970s – so get ready for some retro fun.

We are excited about this theme because it is a bit different to anything we have done before. This period was an eventful one for Christchurch, contributing greatly to the character of our city today. In the 1960s in particular, the work of our local architects was receiving national and international attention.

We work, live in, or pass by these significant buildings everyday, but do we really think of them as ‘heritage’?
