When the new 2016 curriculum for the UNSW Built Environment degree, Master of Architecture, was announced last year by its Director, Professor Xing Ruan, one of the four new pillars to be included was “social agency.” This, plus Judith Neilson’s $10 million endowment to UNSW Built Environment chaired by Professor David Sanderson, has propelled UNSW to the forefront of a new proposition within architecture: where architure meets social justice. Hence the Built Environment faculty jumped at the chance to help St Canice uncover improved uses for it's extensive building and land holdings in Kings Cross, Sydney.
