Watch - cardboard cathedral rises in new zealand

In February 2011, a major earthquake struck the New Zealand city of Christchurch, killing more than a hundred people and damaging many buildings, including the iconic Anglican Cathedral.

The city is hoping to open a new place of worship by December this year.

Now, a Japanese architect has designed a temporary and highly-innovative replacement made out of cardboard.
