-
The Transitional City Audio Tour was a project coordinated by Ryan Reynolds. The project offered locals and visitors the opportunity to explore a part of the Christchurch CBD. It linked selected sites, buildings, and landmarks - both notable and obscure - into a trail that took participants from Gap Filler's Commons around a central city loop. An audio track was created for the project with personal stories, historical and contemporary geographical and architectual information from people involved in fine arts and creative arts disciplines, geography/planning, architecture, and landscape architecture. Audio players and headset units could be borrowed free-of-charge or a file could be downloaded onto people's own devices.
