Architecture students re-presenting UQ Union complex
Ian talks with Postgrad architecture students, Adele Mammone, Thomas Webster and Ali Rad Yousefnia who are offering their alternative to wholesale demolition of UQ Union complex and a new vision of the University - a social alternative to running it as 'a business, a very bad one'. They want things like an open space run by students, a co-op, free lunch days or cheap food, an op shop and much more.
We ask: Is the University a business, a very bad business?
