In one of the bigger donations to an Australian academic institution, the University of NSW has received a $10 million endowment from philanthropist Judith Neilson to help transform lives disrupted by natural disasters, environmental change and wars. The university is confident the Judith Neilson Chair in Architecture will take the lead in researching the design of affordable housing for the tens of millions of people around the world. "We have massive populations who move to temporary housing that they end up living in for years and that in no way meets their needs. Giving people whose lives have been shattered the opportunity to live in affordable dwellings that have been thoughtfully and sustainably designed with enduring materials can help improve their quality of life." -- *Vinay Gupta * * [email protected] <[email protected]> * *http://re.silience.com* <http://re.silience.com> *Free Science and Engineering in the Global Public Interest* UK Cell : +44 (0)7500 895568 Twitter/Skype/Gtalk: hexayurt "In the midst of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer" - Albert Camus -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hexayurt" group.
