Today Ana, a PCN member, and I visited Peter Rankin, president of the Fiji Architects Association and director of Aapi Design. We talked with Peter and his keen employees about projects involving architects and communities working together in Asia - I showed examples from Thailand, the Philippines and Laos, we talked about ACHR, city-wide mapping and small scale projects, comprehensive upgradings and architects. Ana and Peter talked about the relationship in Fiji between squatters and the PCN with the government and other local issues.
Peter suggested he send an email to the other members of the Architects Association asking for those who are interested in working with communities on projects to write back, so he can put together a list of architects that the PCN can have to contact when communities need technical assistance and architectural involvement. Ana will email him tomorrow so they are in contact with each other, and he will send the email out to the architects.
