Education

In England, he studied building and construction at Cambridge Polytechnic. In May 1940, he was interned by the British authorities as an enemy alien, before being shipped to Quebec, Canada and continued to be interned until October 1941, when he was released on parole to study architecture at the University of Manitoba. For other uses, see Internment (disambiguation). ... The University of Manitoba is the largest university of the province of Manitoba, most comprehensive and only research-intensive post-secondary educational institution. ...

Although he was ten years old when the Bauhaus was closed, Seidler's analysts invariably associate him with the Bauhaus because he later studied under emigre Bauhaus teachers in the USA. He attended Harvard Graduate School of Design under Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer on a scholarship in 1945-46, during which time he did vacation work with Alvar Aalto in Boston drawing up plans for the Baker dormitory at MIT. He then attended Black Mountain College under the painter Josef Albers, and then worked for Marcel Breuer in New York.

Life in Australia

Seidler's parents migrated to New South Wales, Australia and commissioned him to design their home which became known as the Rose Seidler House in Wahroonga, New South Wales (1948-1950). This project was the first domestic residence to fully express the philosophy of the Bauhaus in Australia.

In the 1960s Seidler again broke new ground with his radical design for the Australia Square project (1961-67). Australia Square is an office and retail complex in the central business district of Sydney, Australia. ...

He was a founding member of the Australian Architecture Association. In 1984 he became the first Australian to be elected a member of the Academie d'Architecture, Paris and in 1987 was made a Companion of the Order of Australia, an honour which he accepted in his trademark suit and bowtie. Over the years Mr Seidler was also awarded five Sulman Medals by the Royal Australian Institute of Architects, as well as the Royal Australian Institute of Architects Gold Medal in 1976, and the Royal Gold Medal by the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1996.

"For 50 years Harry Seidler has played a vital role in international architecture. His work is widely recognised as an original and intensely creative contribution to the architecture of the second half of the 20th Century."

--Dennis Sharp in his introduction to the book Master architects: Harry Seidler.

Personal life

Harry Seidler married Penelope Evatt on 15 December 1958, they had two children son Timothy Seidler and daughter Polly Seidler.

Controversy

Seidler's work has been widely praised, he has won many awards, and he has been one of the most prolific Australian architects. However his designs are not universally popular and he was often criticized for his single-minded pursuit of Modernist design principles. He has aggravated critics with aggressive and intimidatory defences of his work and reputation, and by his evident disdain for Australia's trend to preserve only facades of old buildings in the name of heritage. In 1998, Seidler was quoted in UK's 'Wallpaper' magazine as saying that Australian architects:

"... don't measure up in international terms. There's nobody and nothing here that sends the blood pressure up. It's a backwater, a provincial dump in terms of the built environment." (The Age, 17 April 2002).

Blues Point Tower

One of his early major commissions, the Blues Point Tower residential block on Sydney Harbour, remains controversial and arguably the most reviled of all modern Sydney buildings. The tower has been widely criticised in Sydney for its extremely prominent placement on Blues Point, a northern headland of the Harbour just west of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The tower had been initially conceived as one of many similar ones in a residential scheme for the entire peninsula, in response to proposed industrial zoning for the area, but because the area had many private land holdings, the overall concept was not realised, resulting in Blues Point Tower standing alone when it was built in 1961. Seidler pointed out that, despite its significant visual impact, his high-rise design leaves considerable open space around the building, whereas the only other way to accommodate the same number of residents on the site would have been to cover the entire area in low-rise apartments. Seidler also noted that the pattern of the windows had been praised by the Australian artist Lloyd Rees, and some writers had compared the facades' window pattern to an Albers' artwork.

Similar criticisms have been levelled at Seidler's high-rise complex, the "Horizon" apartments in Darlinghurst, Sydney (1990-98). Built on one of the highest points in the Sydney city area, residents enjoy commanding views of the city and harbour and west to the Blue Mountains. The tower is extremely prominent and can be seen for many kilometres in almost all directions. The Horizon complex includes low-rise terraces on the site boundaries to continue the theme of Victorian and Edwardian terrace housing in the area. Darlinghurst is an inner-city, eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. ... A panoramic view of the Blue Mountains The Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, are situated approximately 100 kilometres west of Sydney. ...

Many of Seidler's designs were a highly demonstrative enactment of his Modernist design methodology, which he saw as an amalgam of three elements: social use, technology and aesthetics. He always insisted that he had no fixed 'style', since these three elements were in constant flux, and so his work constantly evolved throughout his 57 years of designing in Australia. He appeared impervious to recent trends in architecture, such as the stylistically broader and post-modern styles expressed by younger contemporaries such as Glenn Murcutt. Postmodernism (sometimes abbreviated pomo) is a term applied to a wide-ranging set of developments in critical theory, philosophy, architecture, art, literature, and culture, which are generally characterized as either emerging from, in reaction to, or superseding, modernism. ... Glenn Murcutt (born 25 July 1936, London, England) is an Australian Architect. ...

Murcutt's flowing, small-scale designs make extensive use of semi-permanent materials such as wood and corrugated iron -- in contrast to the glass and concrete so beloved of Modernists -- and his work has been profoundly shaped by an awareness of the unique qualities of the Australian landscape and climate. In a different approach, Seidler sought to respond to Australian climate by the extensive use of sunshades and flamboyantly-shaped rain protecting canopies on his skyscrapers, (such as Grosvenor Place, Riverside Centre, and QV1), large covered balconies in his houses, as well as shaping his designs to maximize views and enjoyment of the outdoors from inside. Corrugated iron is a building material made by taking sheet iron or steel and pressing it into corrugations to give the flat sheet stiffness without the need for a frame. ...

Seidler raised the hackles of heritage advocates in the mid 1980s with his plan to demolish an Edwardian-era building known as the Johnson's Overalls building, located at the corner of the city block occupied by Seidler's multi-storey "Grosvenor Place" office development, near Circular Quay. Seidler doggedly insisted that the Johnson's Overall building (which then consisted only of facades) be demolished, noting that the existing building had been built on the site of Sydney's first parade ground - the first Sydney site ordered to be cleared by Governor Phillip. Seidler also claimed that its presence meant that the beautiful eastern facade of adjoining Royal Naval House was obscured. He advocated that the site, to be called "Bicentennial Square", should be landscaped as open space with trees and some seating to give proper room for pedestrians, who were otherwise squeezed onto a narrow corner footpath, but Seidler's plans were never realised, and the Johnson's building was preserved.

While Seidler was recovering from a stroke in August 2005, the surprise news came that Seidler, widely regarded as one of Australia's eminent citizens, had allegedly lost his Australian citizenship, when in 1985 the Austrian government restored the Austrian citizenship he lost after the Nazi occupation of Austria. Amidst protests by refugee advocates, and a discovery of error of fact that Seidler had never applied for the renewed Austrian citizenship, the Australian government realised its 1985 decision to remove his Australian citizenship was mistaken, and so Seidler remained Australian.[1] Stroke is the clinical designation for a rapidly developing loss of brain function due to an interruption in the blood supply to all or part of the brain. ... 2005 (MMV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ... 1985 (MCMLXXXV) was a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Harry Seidler never fully recovered from his stroke of April 25, 2005, and died in Sydney on March 9, 2006.
