What is your vote for the most beautiful building in Christchurch, pre or post-quake, actual or proposed? How about the ugliest?
OPINION: The stone buildings of the Arts Centre and the stone and timber Provincial Council Buildings possess undeniable romantic splendour. Both the neo-Gothic Anglican Christ Church Cathedral and the arguably finer Catholic Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament would probably feature on most people's lists.
The Town Hall would be one of my favourites - perhaps not exactly beautiful but remarkable for its ingenious use of space, fine detailing and superb acoustics. The Art Gallery may have been criticised by the late Peter Beaven as "a great alien", but its glass facade certainly looks striking.
Ugly buildings? The tower blocks of the 1960s and 70s that encroached on Cathedral Square always looked pretty grim. The former Government Life building won plaudits when it was built for its modern design, yet as time passed, people hated it.
Other more recent buildings look just as grim and ghastly - the Rebel Sports concrete box topped with what looks like razor wire, and scores of giant concrete shoebox retail barns, all depressingly utilitarian and utterly devoid of personality.
Old warehouses and inner-city shops presented in many instances a picture not so much of charm and character but of neglect and sheer unmitigated grot. Old facades may have looked attractive once, but their owners failed to look after them, the council did nothing, and so the buildings languished and decayed.
Alas, newer buildings can be worse. It has always amazed me that New Zealand should be blessed with magnificent scenery, yet we somehow allow ugly buildings to monster the landscape.
Ferrymead is a case in point. Here is an ecologically significant estuary with views of the Southern Alps, fringed by the rugged volcanic Port Hills.
So what do we get? Concrete warehouses, a petrol station on the waterfront, an orange concrete box superstore and an out-of-scale high-rise (now, to the relief of many, demolished).
How such monstrosities can be permitted calls into question the effectiveness of city planning rules.
Now, as plans emerge for hundreds of new buildings, what can we expect? Some designs have been lambasted as bland and boring, such as proposals for the Cashel St City Mall.
Unbroken walls shield the buildings' occupants from the street. There is no relief in the form of stepped-back balconies, courtyards or areas to interact. There is no ornamentation. Glass and concrete dominate.
The proposed BNZ building looks just like the old one - another high-rise tower block in Cathedral Square.
"I wish for more square buildings, cheaply built, that are human filing cabinets," wrote a correspondent sardonically. "Wow! My wish is coming true!"
(Opinions, of course, vary. Christchurch people have always been passionate about architecture.)
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, who decides? And why does it matter?
Harmony and proportion were important to the ancient Greeks. Aesthetics meant buildings had to be pleasing to the eye. Designs were based on mathematical purity and the "golden mean" - a ratio that is also found in the natural world.
Renaissance architects such as Brunelleschi, who designed the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence, were inspired by the same pursuit of perfection.
Christchurch architect Don Donnithorne, now 85, studied Greek architecture. He says it stood him in good stead.
It remains both humbling and inspiring to realise that so many of the world's most beautiful buildings were conceived and completed in a pre-computer era. Can we do as well today?
Looking at pictures of Christchurch in the 1930s and earlier, the city looks far more harmonious, with buildings a similar height. There is a unified streetscape with pleasing vistas.
Buildings can also be exciting and dramatic. Anything but boring. If you want to see dynamic modern architecture, visit Berlin. Or see what is taking shape this week in Singapore or Shanghai.
Imagine a building by Frank Gehry or Zaha Hadid in Christchurch.
Architectural competitions would be a good idea. Even more radical would be letting the public have a say. We need fewer box-tickers and more artists.
Attractive buildings offer many benefits - joy and pleasure by delighting the eye and raising your spirits. Well- designed neighbourhoods have been proved to cut crime rates. People simply like being there.
It is no more costly to design and build beautiful buildings than ugly buildings.
The challenge to designers, their clients and those in authority is to think: Does this building enhance the built environment? How can the design be improved?
Buildings must also be well engineered and should be energy-efficient. I shall explore those issues later on.

"Walf of Wall Street" draws European bankers, investors to cinemas
10 January 2014 [15:00] -
Bankers across Europe are filling cinema seats for a sneak peek at "The Wolf of Wall Street", booking out theatres and rolling out the red carpet for clients eager to see a film about excesses in their own high-flying industry.
Nordea, the Nordic region's biggest bank, booked all 140 seats in one downtown Stockholm movie theatre on Thursday, sectioning off part of the cinema for clients and starting the event after local markets closed.
The Italian stock exchange is showing the film on-site next week while the after-party of the recent Paris premiere was held at the former site of the Paris bourse.
The film, which opens in European theatres in the coming week, is based on the memoir of disgraced U.S. stockbroker Jordan Belfort.
He made a fortune by, and was later jailed for, defrauding clients and spending the loot on cars, homes, a yacht, hookers, orgies, alcohol and drugs.
Bankers and investors from Milan to Paris snapped up tickets for previews and special screenings to see triple Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio play the 1990s convicted stock swindler.
The role is reminiscent of Michael Douglas's fictional character in the 1987 film "Wall Street", which helped spawn a generation of stockbrokers.
Douglas's character, Gordon Gekko, famously said: "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good."
For its special screening, Nordea bank's invitation featured a picture of DiCaprio, decked out in a pin-striped suit and slicked-back hair, with Belfort's own words: "I partied like a rock star, lived like a king."

Cyprus police confirm body is ex-leader`s corpse
Nicosia, Cyprus: A body discovered in a Nicosia cemetery is the stolen corpse of Cyprus` ex-President Tassos Papadopoulos, police said Tuesday.
DNA results obtained early Tuesday positively identify the corpse as Papadopoulos after a telephone tip-off led police to the body late Monday at the cemetery in the Nicosia suburb of Strovolos, police spokesman Michalis Katsounotos said.
Papadopoulos` corpse was dug up from another graveyard on Nicosia`s southern outskirts on Dec. 11 — the eve of the first anniversary of his death from lung cancer.
Katsounotos wouldn`t elaborate on the state of the corpse or possible motives for the bizarre body snatching, but said more details would be given at a news conference later Tuesday.
The call to police was made from a phone booth a few miles (kilometers) away from the cemetery, Katsounotos. He said investigators examined the booth for fingerprints and other evidence that could lead to the caller`s identity.
Family members, including three of Papadopoulos` adult children, rushed to the cemetery amid heavy police security after being notified of the corpse`s discovery late Monday.
The tip-off unlocked an investigation that has remained mostly dormant since grave robbers removed a heavy marble plaque from on top of his grave, digging down to the coffin and removing the body of Papadopoulos, who died of lung cancer on Dec. 12, 2008, at age 74.
The robbers left few leads at the scene. Lime was strewn over the grave in what investigators believe was an attempt to erase any tracks they might have left behind.
Investigators even sought the help of the FBI and Interpol as well as Greek and Israeli law enforcement authorities to solve the case.
The bizarre body-snatching shocked Cypriots and came as the divided island`s Greek and Turkish Cypriot leaders were locked in complex reunification talks. The talks have made only marginal progress after 18 months.
Cyprus was divided into an internationally recognized Greek Cypriot south and a breakaway Turkish Cypriot north in 1974 when Turkey invaded after a coup by supporters of union with Greece.
Papadopoulos, who was president from 2003 to 2008, was considered by many right wing Greek Cypriots to be a champion of resistance against peace accords that are weighted against them.
A lack of a firm motive and few clues led to widespread speculation that the theft was politically motivated. Authorities tried to dampen speculation, suggesting that ransom was a more likely scenario.
Papadopoulos ushered a divided Cyprus into the European Union in May 2004 after urging Greek Cypriots to reject a U.N. brokered reunification plan, which he vilified as entrenching the island`s division rather than ending it. Three-quarters of Cypriots rejected it in a referendum; two-thirds of Turkish Cypriots accepted the plan.
Papadopoulos was defeated in a February 2008 presidential poll by Dimitris Christofias, former leader of the communist-rooted AKEL party.
Papadopoulos was a central figure in Cypriot politics for decades, with a career spanning most of the island`s turbulent history since it gained independence from Britain in 1960.
A British-trained lawyer, Papadopoulos was a guerrilla leader for the Greek Cypriot group EOKA, which waged an anti-colonial campaign. Later, at age 26, he was the youngest cabinet minister in the island`s first post-independence government.

One of several teams looking to improve their QB outlook for 2013 this offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs have a new HC and GM to help get the job done. The presence of Andy Reid has, in fact, linked the franchise to a potential pursuit of current Philadelphia Eagles QB Nick Foles, though it's unclear whether the Chiefs are willing to pay the Eagles' desired ransom for the Arizona product. So what are the other options?
