PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Exchange is a multi use, mixed program building. The Exchanges main principle is based upon the interaction between creative professionals and the general public. The idea is based on the intertwining of three categories of program: Showcase, Exchange and Production, and the benefits which can be drawn from this. The buildings form is a functional expression of the behavior of soil particles during liquefaction. Through utilising its natural vertical process as a circulation language and a way to arrange space The Exchange principle is meshed with the liquefaction properties to create a harmonious concept. The site connects High Street to Hereford Street, within the compact core of the Christchurch Central Business District. The concept draws its potential from a previous laneway location, asserting the importance of the development and reopening of these iconic sites throughout the city. The structure terminates at the north and south at cantilevered segments over the streets and is bound tightly by neighbouring buildings on the eastern and western sides. The building is constructed with a steel structural grid of columns and beams, with two reinforced concrete service cores and a sandblasted glass curtain wall. The ground floor provides a largely open, uninterrupted space for convient pedestrian access between the two main roads. Coupled with open-plan concept retail space, the ground floor aims to make use of a potentially high level of pedestrian traffic and entice visitors up through the buildings upper levels. The first and second levels which complete the building comprise of a balanced arrangement of specific program based spaces fufilling the interaction between those who work and those who use the building.

MATERIAL RESEARCH
The young sediment christchurch is built on means the city is prone to the effects of liquefaction during an earthquake event. Liquefaction variation is determined by the epicentre location, magnitude, depth, duration and geological conditions. Flat areas such as this, where the water table sits only a few meters under the surface, release a build up of pressure through sand boils and waterspouts in many areas and in lateral spreading and cracking near rivers. This occurs as waters are removed from the lower lying saturated loose sediment during the shaking. The water is forced up through weak points in the denser sediment just below the surface. As this occurs the loss of water in the lower layers gives way to compaction, producing a variety of effects to the natural and built environment.
U ST D IO
LATERAL SPREADING Soil particles spread laterally under seismic stress, transferring volume from high areas to lower areas, especially near rivers and other bodies of water.
GROUND SETTLEMENT Over the duration of an earthquake the earth subsides as the seismic waves compact and densify the loose, saturated second layer soil.
GROUNDWATER PRESSURE As the soil compacts groundwater is forced out of the saturated particles, surging upwards and breaking through the dense top layer soil.
SAND BOILS / WATER FOUNTAINS Resulting from the increase in groundwater pressure, sand boils and water fountains occur through fissures in the surface layer.
SETTLED FOUNDATIONS Weakened soil can cause buildings to sink or tilt as compaction occures. this results in deformation or cracking of the building.
SUBSIDED LAND As the lower sediment compacts and moisture is forced upwards, large chunks of land subside, damaging buildings above and leaving large steps in the landscape.
FLOATED SERVICES As the pressure increases pipes become buoyant and float up through the ground. manholes are pushed up out of the roads and pipes become damaged and severed in places, leaking their contents into the earth.
SAND BOILS Strong surface evidence that liquefaction has occured. the pressure in the ground forces the liquified silt upwards and out of the ground covering the surface in mud and water.
WEAKENED SOIL Trees, power poles, lamp posts and similar objects are unable to be supported properly by the liquified ground.
LATERAL SPREADING Earth on river banks slide towards each other under the pressure causing significant cracks to open up. this may extend quite some distance back from the river itself.
