Das Tagebuch Der Internierung [Internment Diary of Harry Seidler], 12 May 1940 - 4 Oct 1941 Das Tagebuch der Internierung [Internment diary of Harry Seidler], 12 May 1940 - 4 Oct 1941 MLMSS 5467/1 Sunday 12 May 1940 Today was the most dreadful day that I ever experienced in England. The whole thing began in the afternoon. I got home at lunchtime and Lady MacAlister told me that a policeman had been there and wanted to see me. As I wasn't there, he said that I should come to the police station immediately. At first I thought it was something to do with my post. Straight after lunch I went to the police with no idea of what awaited me there! I noticed that there were several other refugees as well as me. They told us that we would be taken to the Guildhall - why, they didn't say. So, five of us were put in a police car and off we went to the Town Hall. There were two plain-clothes policemen in the car with us. At the Town Hall there was already quite a crowd of Germans, almost all of whom I knew, at least by sight. Only now did I begin to understand what it meant - WE WERE ALL TO BE INTERNED. I was greatly upset by this and then also noticed that we were under guard. All the exits were guarded by policemen. There were about 100-150 people in the hall and every couple of minutes new people were brought in. It was now about 2.30. I started to think over the whole situation. INTERNED. I was immediately convinced that the new government must have done this. That meant that they thought we refugees were spies, or believed that there were spies among us. Us - spies! Isn't that ridiculous? We, exiled from Germany, are suspected of being spies for our deadly enemies! Nevertheless the situation seemed quite serious. We were being watched and were considered dangerous. If you tried to talk to the policemen, you got no information - they knew nothing. Some people began to work out all the things that they wanted to have with them. They even began to send us home one by one, under guard, so that we could pack some necessary things. I worked out what I wanted, too, and then I had to wait. At last, at 5, my name was called. A plain-clothes policeman came with me; another refugee who lived near me came in the same car. I asked the policeman to wait in the hall while I packed my bag, but he said that he had to go everywhere with me, that he could not let me out of his sight. Isn't that something to make you laugh? Or should it make you cry? He had to guard me as if I were a criminal, so I wouldn't escape. The situation embarrassed me. Here was Lady MacAlister and everyone else in the house and my every move was being followed by a policeman! I packed all my things and said good-bye to Lady MacAlister; then we drove back to the Town Hall. There were far fewer people there now: all the others had already been taken away. I had to wait again. We left about 7. We were now only about 50 people and we were loaded into a double- decker bus. None of us knew where we were going. We chatted, told each other jokes and forgot that we were prisoners. At 8.30 we arrived at Bury St Edmunds. Here we parked in a street and saw two other buses in front of us in which were all the other refugees who had arrived earlier. The streets were full of inquisitive spectators and now we had a military guard. A soldier stood in the doorway of each of the three buses with a fixed bayonet. If you wanted to get off the bus for a few minutes, you had to do so under military guard. This amused the spectators on the streets. And we waited . .. About 10 we became impatient - we all wanted to go to bed - but that would not be possible for some time. It was dark and hours went by and they seemed to have forgotten about us.

This morning we would never have believed that in the evening we would no longer be free and would be prisoners of the English. Time passed dreadfully slowly. We were hungry and tired. It was 11, 12 ... Monday 13 May And even 12.30 before we were allowed to get out (under guard) to be taken to a cleared- out garage. It was horrendous. There were already many refugees there who had been brought from other towns. They were sleeping on the cold stone floor, just with a blanket. There were older men among them, which upset me most. I would never have believed this of the English! They could act like Nazis of a kind, too! (for I can't describe treatment like this any other way!) First we are taken into custody and then we have to sit in a bus for 4 ½ hours and then we are searched - for that's what happened next. Our bags and each of us were searched (they felt all over me as if I had a weapon) and then, at 2 a.m., we had to get back into the bus. Nothing to eat, nothing to drink – we were, in short, prisoners! That old garage was already full of people so we drove off to an old shack. Here, too, we were guarded by soldiers as we got out. By now I was only half-awake: I was so dreadfully tired that I could scarcely keep my eyes open and did everything as if I were in a dream. Everything I had recently gone through had quite finished me. We went into an old shed. Inside, it looked even worse than in the garage we had come from. The roof was so bad that you could see the stars through it. What if it started to rain? We would get soaked through. The floor was horribly dirty. Finally we got something to drink: tea. That is, they said it was tea but it seemed more like dirty water to me. Nevertheless we drank it as we were awfully thirsty. This choice beverage was served in tin cups. Then they said we had to hand over all our money. People were taken in groups of five to the commander's office and we got a receipt for the money that we handed over. Everyone then got a blanket and, at 3.30, was allowed to sleep. I couldn't get to sleep for a long time. First the floor was so terribly hard and, second, everything that I had gone through in the last 24 hours kept going round and round in my head. The light was on all night, and many people didn't lie down to sleep at all but walked up and down and talked the whole time. It's quite amazing that I finally got to sleep! ... I woke at 6. Soon afterwards everyone went to wash themselves in the big buckets that had been put in the middle of the room for general use. For breakfast we got dry bread and a piece of meat. Afterwards came assembly: our names were called and then we could walk around the yard. I immediately wrote a letter to Lady MacAlister. We had to hand in letters unsealed for censoring. We felt like animals now: soldiers were guarding the shed and the yard and stood around everywhere (one of us could, after all, try to escape!). There was a little patch of grass in the yard where we all lay down and rested ourselves after that night. I woke up around I, just when lunch was being distributed. You had to present yourself and you got tea, dry bread and a piece of cheese. You really couldn't stuff yourself with this! The mood of the camp changed considerably in the afternoon: people realised that they were all in the same boat and became much more cheerful. They lay around together in groups and talked to each other. Then there was an early evening meal which was scarcely edible. Soon after the meal we got back the letters we had written earlier: letters couldn't be sent out of this camp. We were now completely cut off from the outside world. Everyone wanted to send word to their families!

There was dry bread and a hard-boiled egg for breakfast. Afterwards we lay down again on the little patch of grass in the yard. Lunch was very sparse again. In the afternoon there was a compulsory walk. Everyone in the camp had to get into 3 rows and march through the town under heavy guard to a field. On the way we were again objects of curiosity to the towns -people. I felt like a criminal, marching under guard and being stared at by people who didn't look at all kindly! At the field the soldiers who had come with us made a big circle around us, inside which we were supposed to exercise.

Interested parties may contact the editors. Harry Margalit and Paola Favaro, UNSW Australia From Social Role to Urban Significance: The Changing Presence of the MLC Company in Martin Place The intersection of Martin Place and Castlereagh Street in Sydney is dominated by a single institution – the MLC (Mutual Life and Citizens’ Assurance Company). To the south is the MLC Centre (1971-77), and on the northern corner stands the interwar MLC building of 1938. The company has a long association with the area, with the Citizens’ Life Assurance Company established in 1886 and headquartered at 21-25 Castlereagh Street. The MLC Company came into being in 1908 with the amalgamation of the Citizens’ Life Assurance Co. Limited and the Mutual Life Assurance Association of Australia. This paper examines the history of the 1938 and 1977 buildings as a means to understanding and elucidating not only the development of the company, but also changing attitudes to how it represented itself through specific buildings, and how the function and public presence of each building chart a shift in urban design attitudes and the use of public space.

The Australia Square project aimed at bringing a new openness into the congested heart of the city, with plaza areas open to the sky, an arcaded ground floor design and a circular 50-storey tower which allowed maximum light into surrounding streets. Australia Square was a landmark development in the 1960s. Its planning, design and construction were marked by creative innovation. Australia Square challenged the planning and architectural thinking of the time. The result was praised and indeed became a highly significant project in the wider context of development in Sydney. The site of Australia Square was the product of a protracted site consolidation carried through by G J Dusseldorp, building promoter and developer, Chairman of Lend Lease Corporation. From the early 1950s the concept of redeveloping parts of the city by consolidating small city lots to form a single larger site suitable for the erection of a skyscraper had been discussed.

  • 3. Promoting the New Paradigm: Seidler and the Zwar House
    3. Promoting the New Paradigm: Seidler and the Zwar House Figure 3.1 Zwar House, 1955, south-east view from Yapunyah Street Photograph: Brendan Lepschi, 2005 Throughout the history of architecture there have been many pamphleteers, publicists and polemicists who have helped to shift public perceptions of existing doctrines, and to promote the advantages of new ways of thinking. Robin Boyd was one such individual within Australian modernist discourse. Another was Harry Seidler, whose campaign in the early 1950s to introduce modernist ideas gained much publicity. ‘High Priest of the Twentieth Century’, ‘Modern Master: How Harry Seidler Changed the Way We Live’, and ‘Harry Seidler Preached the Gospel of Modern Architecture to His Adopted Country’ were just a few of the headlines he received.1 Seidler’s campaign attracted the attention of many Australians who followed architecture, art and design. One of these was John Zwar, a young plant physiologist who arrived in Canberra to take up a position at the CSIRO in 1952. 1 People presented a four-page article on Seidler in January 1951 in which he was ordained the ‘High Priest of the Twentieth Century’, one whose duty was to persuade ‘conservatives that his houses are just right for this modern age’. Seidler was presented as a form of avenging angel who ‘wears bow ties, walks on crepe-soled shoes, and talks with an American accent’. People (17 January 1951): 17–20. The other references are by Philip Drew, [Domain], Sydney Morning Herald (16 March 2006): cover, 8. 77 Experiments in Modern Living One of the first scientists recruited by Frankel to the Division of Plant Industry, Zwar had read many of Seidler’s articles, along with those of the architect’s mentor, Walter Gropius.

  • Mr Harry Seidler AC OBE
    Mr Harry Seidler AC OBE The degree of Doctor of Science in Architecture (honoris causa) was conferred upon Harry Seidler at the Architecture ceremony held on 6 April 2000. Citation Chancellor I have the honour to present to you Harry Seidler for admission to the degree of Doctor of Science in Architecture, honoris causa. Harry Seidler was born in Vienna in 1923 and migrated to Britain when Austria was invaded shortly before the Second World War. In 1939, he was sent with other Germans and Austrians to Canada where he was admitted to study Architecture at the University of Manitoba. He graduated in 1944 and was accepted by the Harvard Graduate School of Design to do post-graduate work with Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer. Later he spent some time with the painter Joseph Albers at Black Mountain College, North Carolina, and subsequently worked with Breuer in New York. He was also, for a brief time, with Oscar Niemeyer in Rio. In 1948, he came to Sydney, and in 1951, won the Sir John Sulman Medal for the first house he built in Australia, the Rose Seidler House at Turramurra. Seidler was exceptionally fortunate in his outstanding teachers, and his youthful international experience. Both influences made him sensitive to cultural differences, and throughout his career as an international architect, his buildings have acknowledged these. In his early years in Sydney, domestic architecture was his main preoccupation. He built houses and high rise apartment blocks in many Sydney suburbs, all of which are recognizable by their strong structural features. In 1960, Seidler began to work with the Italian engineer Pier Luigi Nervi, on the cylindrical tower for Australia Square.

  • University of Nsw Harry Seidler Unsw Talk 1 Interactions
    UNIVERSITY OF NSW HARRY SEIDLER UNSW TALK 1 INTERACTIONS: ARCHITECTURE AND THE VISUAL ARTS 10 APRIL 1980 INTRODUCTION [0.00] Sydney architect, Harry Seidler, was appointed visiting professor in architecture at the University of New South Wales for the first semester of 1980. He was born in Vienna in 1923. After studies in England he graduated from the University of Manitoba in Canada. Later, he did post graduate work at Harvard University under the founder of the Bauhaus, Walter Gropius, and studied design under the painter, Josef Albers. In 1948 Seidler started to practice in Sydney and the many buildings he has completed since then have earned him an international reputation. Amongst his best known buildings is Sydney’s Blues Point Tower, Australia Square and the MLC Centre and Canberra’s Trade Group offices. A recent overseas work is the Australian Embassy in Paris. In this lecture Seidler deals with the interactions between all the visual arts and architecture and the historic basis for this interdependence which he feels should be a guiding and motivating force in architectural design. Modern architecture, as we have come to understand it, has had a history of just over three quarters of a century now. In spite of that, it cannot be said that there is any consensus of opinion about its viability. There’s always been a reluctance on the part of those who practise it and those who criticise it to state any dogma. Those dogmas that have been stated such as “This new architecture is functional, it is logical, it responds to the new technology” are rather obvious and rather facile descriptions of what it’s really all about.

  • Australian Modern Architecture Seen Through European Journals (1945-75)
    When Distance Matters: Australian Modern Architecture Seen Through European Journals (1945-75) Ana Esteban Maluenda Universidad Politécnica de Madrid If we look at an Antipodes World Map, Europe and Australasia are relatively close, so much so that New Zealand and Spain share a virtual territory. Thinking about antipodes, remoteness implies coincidence and distance brings countries closer together. This paper aims to track the spread that modern Australian architecture reached in some of the main European nodes of reception and emission of news: France, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland and Spain. Based on articles published in the architectural periodicals of the moment, it will establish which aspects of Australian architecture mattered in these countries. More importantly, these cases can be compared with each other and, as a whole, with the interest that other closer continents aroused in Europe. Did distance play the same role in all cases? , edited , edited Or had any other circumstances, such as politics or economics, more weight in the rapprochement between countries? Is the presence of Australian architecture in modern canonical historiography the direct result of these exchanges of information? In short, does historiography have a debt to distance? , Distance Looks Back Keywords: Diffusion of modern architecture; European architecture periodicals; 36 Australian modern architecture; Harry Seidler; Sydney Opera House Proceedings of the Society of Proceedings of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand
