The 1:1 model without handles

Out of class:
I remember when Judy ask us what Christchurch people lost after the earthquake, some people say water,food. At that time, I thought they lost hope. Today, I saw this news for the cardboard cathedral I think that the Architect's opinion is quite similar with me. Although religion is not my sustenance but it is important for others. At the begin to the "sustenance" project , I have thought to design a place for religion but I have no religion so that is difficult to think what people need. I think this cardboard cathedral is a quite interesting project because it is for temporary use and the metiral seems not difficult to get.
