A richly detailed biography, A Singular Vision: Harry Seidler chronicles the remarkable life and legacy of one of Australia's most influential and celebrated architects, Harry Seidler. Author Helen O'Neill, an award-winning journalist known for her compelling narrative non-fiction, presents the story of a man who fled Nazi-occupied Europe as a young Jewish refugee and went on to transform the skylines of Sydney and beyond with his bold, uncompromising Modernist designs. The book details Seidler's formative years studying under Bauhaus masters including Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, whose philosophies of form and function became the bedrock of his architectural vision. With authoritative prose, O'Neill illustrates how Seidler's fierce dedication to his craft and unwavering aesthetic principles made him both a towering figure in twentieth-century architecture and a deeply fascinating biographical subject.
