After working briefly for an architectural firm in Toronto, Seidler (at the age of 21) became a registered architect in [[Ontario]], in February 1945. 

Although he was ten years old when the Bauhaus was closed, Seidler's analysts invariably associate him with the Bauhaus because he later studied under emigrant Bauhaus teachers in the USA. He attended [[Harvard Graduate School of Design]] under [[Walter Gropius]] and [[Marcel Breuer]] on a scholarship in 1945/46,<ref name=innmod>{{cite web |url=http://www.seidler.net.au/reflections/reflections_articles/DennisSharp.html |title=Harry Seidler: Innovative modernist architect |access-date=2008-01-07 |author=Dennis Sharp |date=2006-03-14 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070921084245/http://www.seidler.net.au/reflections/reflections_articles/DennisSharp.html |archive-date=21 September 2007 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> and during the university winter (Christmas) inter-semester approximate four weeks break Seidler worked with Alvar Aalto in Boston drawing up plans for the Baker dormitory at MIT. He then studied visual aesthetics at [[Black Mountain College]] under the painter [[Josef Albers]] in mid 1946 for the US summer.
