St Lucia House, RAIA Robin Dods Award for Housing
No full textAlthough built in 1997-99, this project was not extensively published until 2003-04. This project was designed collaboratively as the home for Peter Skinner, Elizabeth Watson-Brown and their two sons. The built design synthesises a number of research investigations into inside-outside space, spatial sequence and experience, regional modernism, passive subtropical climatic design, small-lot housing, lightweight construction and multi-generational living patterns. These ideas have been presented in conference papers and illustrated in international monographs including The Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary Architecture, arguably the first fully refereed international survey. The project won the Queensland RAIA Robin Dods Award and a national RAIA High Commendation for Housing in 2000

The Review of Economic Performance and Social Progress 2002: Towards a Social Understanding of Productivity
No full textIn this chapter, William Watson challenges Heath's interpretation of the benefits of productivity growth, but agrees with Richard Harris' views on the state of our knowledge about the potential contribution of social programs to productivity growth. Watson tackles Heath's assessment of the social benefits of productivity growth directly, starting with the issues of social inequality and poverty. He argues that there has been no flagging in redistributive effort in Canada and he challenges what he sees as Heath's preference for enhancing public expenditures, emphasizing the scope for government failures and of the possibility that higher tax rates in the contemporary period have increased the marginal cost of public funds. Even if one were able to resolve the question of the appropriate balance between the public and private sectors, Watson believes that the case for higher productivity would remain compelling. Without powerful analytical guidance, Watson concludes that reform of social policy will inevitably be guided primarily by intuition, politics and hunches. In these circumstances, he counsels modesty in aspirations.Equity, Efficiency, Productivity, Labour Productivity, Labor Productivity, Growth, Income, Inequality, Equality, Social Policy, Happiness, Poverty, Leisure, Government, Investment, Fairness, Spending, Government Spending, Government Expenditure, Expenditure, Taxes, Tax, Quality of Life
