It’s better to have ideas than to be without, and idea-generating initiatives for the Christchurch rebuild just keep coming. The latest offering is called the 48 Hour Design Challenge and stems from the Share an Idea initiative. As part of the challenge, 20 teams of seven—including a design student on each team— will be tasked with designing the look, functionality and use of a specific part of the Central City.

Why not? Introducing Magnetic South, an online idea-generating game designed to help people explore the future of Christchurch together. As of next week you have the chance to do your bit by participating in the game, which will run non-stop for a little over 24 hours. And with the spell of aftershocks that shook the area this week, the folks behind the initiative say it’s more important than ever for people to get involved.
