About the book >.>.> The Australian architect Harry Seidler studied under Walter Gropius and Josef Albers and worked with Marcel Breuer and Oscar Niemeyer establishing his own architectural practice in Sydney in 1949. He has played a major role not only in the Australian architectural tradition where he is known as a leading proponent of modernism but also worldwide. Important works include the Australian Embassy in Paris the Hong Kong Club and the Neue Donau Housing Estate in Vienna.

Following an expert overview by Wolfgang F?rster the Neue Donau Housing Estate is described in detail accompanied by outstanding images and includes a r?sum? of the prerequisites necessary for innovative social housing.
