Christchurch
' Sir, —As an infrequent visitor to centres round New Zealand, I am impressed by the character that is develop•ing in Christchurch, It seems that this is most evident in the field of architecture where, it appears to me, your city leads New Zealand in stimulating and sensitive design. If one accepts that the designers and planners of [your city have been stimulated by their environment, then it is a tremendous com ipliment to your City Fathers, iboth past and present, for [creating tne seed of that in-i spiration. Aldous Huxley,! [jun., once wrote something to| !the effect that-a eity develops! ! character in direct propor-1 tion to the amount of stimulation it can provide to its designers. It must therefore
be a source of quiet satisfaction to those of your citizens who have encouraged cultural activities to see their efforts expressed in such tangible ways.—Yours, etc., J. B. R. STODDART. Auckland, June 25, 1970.
