Victoria Square: Cradle of Christchurch

Beschreibung

Victoria Square, that green and peaceful oasis in the center of Christchurch, has a special claim to fame: it is the only city square in the world with a river running through it. This lively and entertaining book, illustrated with 250 photographs, is a fascinating architectural survey of a unique civic space.
