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.

News:

We won a 1st round World Architecture Community Award, selected from thousands of buildings. To see the other 19 winners, go to http://www.worldarchitecture.org/winners.asp?winarchive=1stcycle
