Join us for a free walk through of the exhibition Migrating Modernism with Penelope Seidler AO who will provide insights and stories from her partnership with the late Harry Seidler.
Penelope Seidler AO has played a pivotal role in architecture and in the cultural life of Sydney and Australia. Penelope is a graduate of the University of Sydney and registered as an architect in 1964. She has served as Director of Harry Seidler and Associates since 1966 and has been directly involved in the commissioning of artists for projects, contributing significantly to the intersection of architecture and the arts.
Together with Harry Seidler, she championed modernist art and architecture in Australia. The practice’s work demonstrates how modern architectural principles, rational design, and innovative engineering can be combined with exceptional business acumen to produce internationally significant buildings, including Sydney’s Australia Square.
