God boxes sprouting up all over Christchurch... Read more]]> The man behind the 185 empty chairs earthquake memorial, artist Peter Majendie, is now putting up a series of "quiet spaces".

Majendie has built several cardboard boxes for people to use as prayer or contemplative rooms.

Designed as a "quiet space", the boxes will be placed around the city for use by the public.

"They've been called everything - containers, god boxes. They can be whatever they want to be to each person. They can be used as changing rooms for all I mind," he said.
