Seidler in Sydney

Our final stop on our Museum of Sydney visit earlier this month was the Harry Seidler: Painting towards architecture exhibition.

By this stage I was starting to suffer exhibition fatigue so didn't fully take in all the details of what was on display. But this cross-stitched picture of Rose Seidler House (created by his wife, Penelope, in 2005) caught my attention:

 as did this architect's model:

 (although I prefer Div's 1/16 scale version...)

I was captivated by this model of Australia Square, made out of Lego:

Looks like I'll need to schedule another visit to Sydney later in the year...
