Summer 21/22

Getting out of the box

Create your own best summer with Cityscape’s guides to making the most of the city’s outdoor environment, discovering new public art, and planning functions with a difference.

Design, art and artists are a big focus in this issue, where we meet three of the creators behind SCAPE Public Art’s 2021 season, and have an in-depth interview with the two artists who designed the enormous welcoming archway for the new Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre. As Te Pae prepares to open, we also spoke with the design lead and the general manager of development behind the major new addition to Christchurch’s cityscape.

We wouldn’t be Cityscape without great advice on how to make the most of our city, so check out our guides to the best of summer in Ōtautahi, 20 different ways to get outside and have fun, and where in Christchurch you can go with your dog for good times or great gear.

On the fashion and lifestyle front, as well as our regular seasonal updates and edits on the latest trends, we’ve taken a deep dive into Christchurch’s world of retro and upcycled shopping – looking at the advantages of shopping sustainably and letting you in on the secrets of where to find quality secondhand shopping in Ōtautahi.

Wedding season is here, and whether you’re planning a special day for 2022 or 2023, Cityscape has inspiration for planning a wedding that’s uniquely you, as well as ideas for choosing a venue and even an engagement ring for your style and budget.

We’ve also got gift guides to get you through 2022, and the best summer events, entertainment and food.
