Third Place Thinking

CASE STUDY | Dunsandel Community Centre by 106 Architects.

Like so many other buildings in the district, soon after the earthquake devastated Christchurch, the Dunsandel Community Hall was deemed unsafe and no longer fit for purpose.

The shaken, but by no means, broken community had lost its beloved meeting place for creating lifelong memories. Just about every member of this local community had at some point in their life attended a christening, milestone birthday or Historic Society event in this Hall.

There was never any question about whether this community would need a new social gathering place; it was always a question of how and where could it be built? A Third Place for a community that needed to regain a place to gather, where they would feel safe again and continue to share stories.
