Gap Filler Project 06: 1950s themed bowling alley, CPIT Design/Build
The 1950s themed bowling alley was a project put together by Architecture students at the Christchurch Polytechnic. The vacant site of the Jetset Lounge on St Asaph Street underwent a transformation into a bowling alley, inspired by its previous use as a student recreation venue. The architectural design students created a temporary, interactive ten-pin bowling installation where anybody could go and play ten-pin bowling for free. A 1950s theme was embraced through the running of the Jetset event.
