In this episode, we meet Penelope Seidler AM.
The young Penelope Evatt's childhood was immersed in the political and public cultural life of Sydney. As she puts it, the Evatt name was in the media most days. This early apprenticeship in what she describes as the "cut and thrust of NSW politics" provided a foundation for an active and engaged life that has navigated that cut and thrust expertly over almost seven decades.
Penelope Evatt met Harry Seidler, and the two forged a powerful partnership. We hear how that partnership flourished at a pivotal moment in development for Sydney. Famed developer and entrepreneur, Dick Dusseldorp's vision for Australia Square, Blues Point Tower and early residential apartments like Ithaca Gardens in Sydney's Elizabeth Bay stand today as testament to a city asserting itself on the world - delivered in conjunction with the Seidler office, working with noted international personalities like Pier Luigi Nervi.
Penelope Seidler continues to lead the practice of Harry Seidler and Associates as both an architect and accountant, and is celebrated for her support and endowment across the arts and design communities. The portfolio of the office is renowned around the world but a recent project is deeply personal for Penelope Seidler - a new public space in Milson's Point known as Harry's Park.
