Abstract
Harry Seidler is recognized as one of Australia's most important twentieth-century architects. Many of Seidler's buildings are now becoming recognized as heritage places. His Rose Seidler house of 1950 was bequeathed to the Historic Houses Trust of New South Wales (NSW), and is now a house museum. Seidler was vocal about the ‘heritage industry’, and it is interesting to reflect on these views now that his own buildings are considered worthy of recognition and conservation. The following interview with Harry Seidler's partner, Penelope Seidler, reflects on the architect's views on how we manage our heritage and on the interface between contemporary architecture and its conservation.
