"When you're spending time, for example, with an architect in the houses they've built (often staying overnight to get last light and early morning shots) it's a fantastic experience." Award-winning filmmaker Catherine Hunter discusses her life and work, which spans documentaries on a number of artists and photographers, as well as architects Glenn Murcutt and Cox.
This week we meet Hiromi Lauren, who worked with Harry Seidler for around 20 years and is now the director of her own studio, Shiro Architects. Lauren shares the lessons she learnt from Seidler and discusses winning the Australian Institute of Architects 2017 Queensland state commercial architecture award.
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the iconic and groundbreaking building, and to celebrate, there will be an exhibition which will feature a collection of 13 Max Dupain photographic images, captured in the building's early stages of construction through to its final completion.
The stunning location of the house adds to its theatricality. It is where the Seidlers brought up their two children, Polly and Timothy, and is just as impressive today as it was when completed.
