  - The Cuba St Project was created in late 2011. I started to consider the implications of the Christchurch earthquakes and what it meant for Wellington. I love the heritage buildings throughout the city and I realized the earthquake prone condition of many of these buildings was going to become a massive issue. Owners of these buildings will need to invest huge money into either re strengthen or building new ones. What will this do to the current community located in the street? What will the street look like? There are a lot of unanswered questions that the city needs to consider.
