We depart momentarily from our design-related notices to urge the design community to dig deep for the Bushfire Appeal. To donate to the official Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal, click here*.

In the coming months there will undoubtedly be a variety of ways the design and architecture community can help rebuild the affected communities, from pro bono design work and rebuilding homes, to developing innovative designs to make new housing better able to withstand bushfires. However, cash donations and donating blood are the most important ways we can all help right now.
