The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
Description

Molnar delighted in the vernacular architecture and streetscape of Kings Cross. As deregulated height limits and a property and speculative building boom swept aside post-war dreams for a Great Society, Molnar disputed jargon and pointed out the half-truths and myths peddled about the benefits of consolidated cities and towers, freeways and remote suburban developments.
