[edit] Norman Carlberg
I dont believe the inclusion of Norman Carlberg on the see also list is necessary. If we include Norman Carlberg there would also need to be other artists who Seidler collaborated with on his projects listed also (eg, Alexander Calder, Jan Utzon etc...).
The exception to this would be Josef Albers. Seidler included works of Albers in a number of projects (notably the MLC Centre with 'Homage to the Square' and 'The Wrestle'). Yet Albers was one of the main teachers and mentors of Seidler and was quite influential on Seidlers design and asethetic philosophy.
- You should sign comments. But anyway, I think it odd what you are happy to include and what not, what to emphasize and what not. Just look at the article overall. Its sections are "'Early life', 'Education', 'Life in Australia', 'Personal life', 'Controversy', and then some lists. His actual artistic activities are covered only as "controversy'. This is curiously lopsided and negative. I'm adding an 'artistic collaborations' section. You can add a "what's wrong with the artistic collaborations" section if you like.

MarylandArtLover great addition of the 'artistic collaborations' section and I agree with you the article is biased with too much emphasis on Seidlers controversies. There needs to be sections on Seidlers buildings,influences and design philosophy. Mr Ash 23:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
