About AWF

Architects Without Frontiers Australia (AWF) is a not-for-profit organisation whose mission is to engage the Australian design professions in pro-bono projects that improve the living conditions of communities in need with a focus on the Asia-Pacific region.

While conflict, poverty, climate change and social dislocation pose many challenges to communities around the world, they have particularly severe impacts upon the most marginal communities. Unfortunately, 90 per cent of the world’s design resources are utilised by the richest 10 per cent.

AWF is committed to participatory, sustainable and community-focused outcomes as it engages with the architectural and related built-environment professions in providing pro-bono design services and model construction projects for those whose needs are greatest.

AWF, through its volunteers and supporters, focuses on developing the capacity of partner organizations and communities thorough project outcomes skills sharing and mutual knowledge sharing.
