Expanded Architecture
Temporal Spatial Practices
Claudia Perren and Sarah Breen Lovett (Editors)
About this book
The book comprises discussion of site-specific works and essays exploring
diverse notions of an expanded architecture through artistic experimentation,
public participation, and interdisciplinary scholarly discourse contextualized
in three high-rise buildings in Sydney’s central business district
designed by Harry Seidler, who studied under Walter Gropius at Harvard
University. Following the Bauhaus tradition, Seidler is also well known for
his extensive collaborations with such artists as Josef Albers, Alexander
Calder, Sol LeWitt, Frank Stella and Lin Utzon, relationships that are a
backdrop to this project.
