	Harry Seidler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harry Seidler (born 1923) is an Australian architect who is considered to be one of the leading exponents of Modernism there and the first architect to fully express the principles of the Bauhaus in Australia.
		Many of Seidler's large buildings arguably demonstrate that his designs are primarily a vehicle for a dogmatic and highly demonstrative enactment of his Modernist design principles, and that he is impervious to recent trends in architecture, such as the stylistically broader and more human-centred post-modern styles expressed by younger contemporaries such as Glenn Murcutt.
		While Seidler was recovering from a stroke in August 2005, a surprise news came that Seidler, widely regarded as one of Australia's eminent citizens, had unknowingly lost his Australian citizenship, when in 1985 the Austrian government restored his Austrian citizenship he lost due to the Nazi occupation.

		This list must be prefaced by the two most important books on Seidler which have introduced a generation of architects to his work.
		These were much sought-after volumes at the time they appeared and their rarity was made worse by the fact that they were not published in the UK, although the Architectural Review and other European magazines did not miss the opportunity of featuring the work as it was completed.

		Seidler cites Tomkins as defining "the mien indicative of an attempt to maintain lasting control over a state of chronic shame" in terms of a "frozen face," a particularly apt description of the expressionless mass of white bandages concealing the narrator's face.
		Seidler describes how a female patient, "in trespassing on the privacy of others, [...] violated the boundaries of intimacy and antagonized the people she was trying to relate to.
		In Seidler's account, it is "the birth of the own self, the point where the gaze of the self falls back in on itself, that is represented by the blinding event"(Seidler 93).
