Design Build : PNG bought together Australian and Papua New Guinean architecture students to design and construct a community health building in the Papua New Guinean village of Labu-Tale, Morobe Province.



We worked extremely hard, learnt a lot, made some great friends and had fun! A project report is available to download under the 'Files' tab.
