About AWF

Architects Without Frontiers (AWF) is a not-for-profit organization based in Australia.  The focus of AWF is to assist in the rebuilding of cities and communities that have been devastated by war, social conflict and natural disasters, irrespective of race, religion, creed or political affiliation.  Using Australian design expertise in the fields of architecture, urban design and landscape architecture AWF members currently provide unpaid design and construction services in Nepal, Bosnia-Herzegovina, East Timor, Australia and Afghanistan.

Architects Without Frontiers philosophy is to work with communities in the reconstruction of their physical and social infrastructure.  As an integral part of a project AWF trains or educates members of a community in the services being provided; this is envisioned to help foster self-reliance of a community rather than their dependence on outside organisations.
