Work Overview
from Harry Seidler's war diaries, Wednesday 26th June, 1940
"Once again I was very depressed - my position seems more dismal from day to day. If it's true about Canada I'll never get back to Cambridge, at least not in the next couple of years. That means forgetting my happy life at Lady MacAlister's... above all forgetting all that is beautiful. When I think about all of this I could cry."
"Architecture is a language and architects speak it. Most of them just barely manage to speak - very few ever speak eloquent prose, but it happens rarely indeed that any of them ever create poetry with just a few words."
Harry Seidler to the Sydney Morning Herald, 1957.
