WAAF is not only a festival but also a collective hub, a non-for-profit organization inviting the design, art, and engineering industry along with the general public. Some may say that architecture is the mother of all arts, however, it is more than that. If philosophy is the mother of all disciplines, then architecture acts as the father. Combining art, engineering, and science; questions, inspires, and leads to a common goal among these fields. With its mild climate, beautiful coastline, and catalogue of open spaces, Western Australia offers a unique environment for a well-balanced life. Here, architecture is the key discipline that shapes this environment, and WAAF is an opportunity to promote design, art, and engineering and celebrate Western Australian architecture. WAAF acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognizes their continuing connection to land, waters and community.
