The Palm Springs School: Desert Modernism 1934-1975 Author Alan Hess, Contributions by Christine Madrid French and Eddie Jones and Ken Lyon and George E. Thomas and Sian Winship

Much more than a resort destination, Palm Springs has served as a laboratory of the Modern; here so much architectural innovation and design took form. From the steel-and-glass boxes of Richard Neutra to the earthy organic homes of John Lautner, and everything in between, the solutions of architects and designersincluding notably William F. Cody, E. Stewart Williams, and Albert Freywere diverse and are ever more relevant in the face of contemporary challenges. Their answers addressed questions that still hold urgency: How to design sustainably in harsh climates? How to use technology efficiently and creatively to meet those challenges? How to build affordable and high-quality mass-produced housing? How to reflect a regions culture, economy, and distinctive atmosphere?
