Podcast appearances and mentions of penelope seidler

Penelope Seidler is so accomplished, her list of professional achievements is almost impossible to summarise succinctly! She's an architect and an accountant, she's a member of the National Gallery of Australia Foundation Board, has been a director of Biennale of Sydney since 2010, and sits on the board of the Institute of Architects Foundation in Sydney. She was deputy commissioner for the Australian Pavilion at the 2013 Venice Biennale, and has been a member of the International Council of the Museum of Modern Art in New York since 1973. And in 2008, she was acknowledged as a Member of the Order of Australia. Despite these many accolades, many of us know her best as the wife and professional partner of Harry Seidler, and director of architectural firm Seidler and associates – which continues to operate to this day. It was truly an honour to meet Penelope, and a conversation that I certainly won't forget! I'm really glad we recorded it for you! Recorded at a LIVE event at Fisher & Paykel's Experience Centre in Sydney on July 5th, 2019. Find links and other show notes at https://thedesignfiles.net/podcast
