Harry Seidler: Houses and Interiors 1 & 2

No other architect in Australia's history has been as internationally influential or famous as Harry Seidler. Presented in a two-book boxed set, Houses and Interiors 1 & 2 provide insight and analysis of the designs selected by Seidler to be his most important. The first book looks at the early years of his design career. Photographs are paralleled with concise plans and essays in a dossier showcasing this Austrian-born architect's empathy with the Australian landscape. The early designs are often in contrast to the complexities and dimensions of his later designs, comprehensively featured in the second book.

With essays by Seidler himself, these books have been edited by internationally recognised architecture writer and educator Chris Abel. Awarded the RAIA Gold Medal and the RIBA Gold Medal in 1996, Seidler attended the Walter Gropius Master Class with architect notaries IM Pei and Henry Cobb. He later studied with Marcel Breuer and Josef Albers.
