Our two speakers promise an interesting evening:

Giuseppe Calabrese will be speaking about his experience working in earth construction, from soil identification, stabilisation and suitability, to construction methods – whether compressed, shaped, stacked, moulded, and more – and will illustrate his talk with examples from his work in Italy, Saudi Arabia and Australia.

Architect Ellen Woolley will also be presenting an update of an AWF project for a doctors’ accommodation block in Kiunga, central PNG. Started last year, the project has required a new site and configuration. Design challenges have included the effort in balancing public and private relationships between a resident family and the itinerant working doctors. As always for AWF, the design has focused on security, simplicity and economy.
