Goal 2: Think while reading, pick up new information, and come up with new ideas and new thinking.
Using your new knowledge of other world heritage sites and Christchurch's current landmarks, create a new landmark for Christchurch. Justify your reasoning - why have you used particular architectural features, how does this bring in Christchurch's past and future, are there any takeaways from the world heritage sites that you found interesting?
To create you can use: Sweet Home 3D, Minecraft, Google Drawings, create a physical structure.... get creative!
