Earthquakes usher in new era for steel construction

Christchurch’s earthquake experiences have ushered in a new style of architecture that has influenced construction in Wellington and raised awareness in Auckland.

Steel construction is the biggest and most obvious feature in the city’s buildings – for the cost as well as safety perceptions.

The earthquake rebuild has also changed the relationships between professionals in the sector with early discussions on a project usually beginning with engineers rather than architects.

The construction response to the earthquakes is the subject of a 170-page report by co-authors Michel Bruneau from the University of Buffalo, and Greg MacRae, a professor at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch.
