Dozens of featured projects—from sing le family houses to multi-story residential and office towers to civic\, s ports\, and cultural centers\, as well as important government commissions realized in Australia\, Austria\, France\, Israel\, Italy\, Mexico\, and Hong Kong—bring to focus Seidler’s 12 long-lasting creative collaborat ions with progressive artistic visionaries: architects Walter Gropius\, Ma rcel Breuer\, and Oscar Niemeyer\; engineer Pier Luigi Nervi\; artists Jos ef Albers\, Alexander Calder\, Norman Carlberg\, Sol LeWitt\, Charles Perr y\, Frank Stella\, and Lin Utzon\; and photographer Max Dupain. The exhibi tion was developed by New York-based non-profit Curatorial Project in coll aboration with Penelope Seidler and The Seidler Estate in Sydney.\n\nSurpr ise and Delight—these are the two key feelings that strike anyone who ex periences Seidler’s architecture\, no matter how familiar one might be w ith his work. His forms are never illogical\, yet they are always remarkab le and beautiful\, so much more so as they are achieved through the econom y of means. The architect’s houses and towers are thoroughly referential in their sources of inspiration and yet they are unmistakably Seidleresqu e. Above all\, Seidler’s architecture has become an integral part of the Australian identity.\n\nExhibition continues through November 22.\n\nSpea kers\n\nKenneth Frampton (b. 1930) was trained as an architect at the Arch itectural Association in London.
