Thank you for a great Summer Party
It was a great night of music, food, and drinks with a purpose. A big thank you to all who came out and helped celebrate another year of projects and continuing AWB-Seattle’s mission to bring design to underserved communities. If you missed it, sign-up for the mailing list and there will be other opportunities to get involved.
A special thank you to Ouch My Eye, ImaginIT, Top Tim Thai, Pyramid Brewery, Berger Partnership, and MotreCraft for making the evening possible.

 San Miguel Escobar Guatemala |
School and Vocational Training Center San Miguel Escobar, Guatemala Architects without Borders-Seattle has been asked to collaborate on the design of a new school complex and vocational training center in San Miguel Escobar, Guatemala. We will be working with the community of San Miguel Escobar, Seattle-based non-profit Global Visionaries and As Green As It Gets to develop a site plan for phased construction of the new educational complex. This project will serve as a prototype for sustainable, community-built education and local enterprise facilities in Guatemala. The first phase will involve the design of two classrooms to be built by volunteers from the community and Seattle this Fall. Please contact Brian Gerich if you are interested in attending a project team coordination meeting. Additionally, if you have project management experience and are interested in leading this effort, please let us know. |
