Architects for Peace Pro Bono Referral Service seeks expressions of interest from graduates or registered architects to provide architectural services for a bush camp adjacent to the Bunyip State Park. The prospective service provider (SP) can either do the project alone or be partnered with another SP (one architect is familiar with the project and is able to work on it if a partner can be found).
The project is for Pathways Foundation, a harm minimisation programme for youth. They have been lent land on which they are currently building ecotoilets. They have requested assistance with Design research, conceptual design, construction documentation, consultant liaison for a bush kitchen, large covered gathering space, and storage shed. Materials would mainly be timber and adobe bricks. There are no services on site.
The budget is low (under $50,000) and most labour will be volunteer. The programme is not yet confirmed. All prospective Service Providers should be Architects for Peace members.
If you are an arch-peace meber, you can email your Expression of Interest to probono stating your name(s), availability, relevant experience, and whether you would like to partner with another practice.
This promises to be a rewarding project for a respected organisation.

Art Unlimited Outdoor Removable Pergola StructureThis is a verbal project summary - Art Unlimited Outdoor Removable Pergola Structure. I will follow with some images of the site.
The proposed pergola occupies a small area within the south-eastern courtyard of the Old Geelong Jail, in an area occupied by the tenants ‘Art Unlimited’, an organisation affiliated with St. Laurence who provides recreational art workshops to adults with disabilities.
