hollywoodtimes.net/modernism… What started out as an idea in 2005 has grown exponentially over two decades since the first #PalmSprings @ModernismWeek event that took place a year later. @JR_CHUMBLEY

Palm Springs City Hall is icon of mid century modern architecture. Designed by the architectural team of Albert Frey in 1952. This masterpiece features a very interesting mid century modern screen wall arranged in columns to block the morning sun. 🌴☀️🌴 Photo! - by carlv12

How Palm Springs' mid-century modern look is environmentally friendly

Palm Springs is as a haven for mid-century modern architecture. But aside from looking good, the style is adapted for the region's desert climate.

Frey House II in Palm Springs is a true icon of Desert Modernism. Swiss architect Albert Frey, who worked with Le Corbusier in Paris, brought that pure rationalism to the desert — clean lines, integration with the rock, breathtaking views. It's undeniably masterful... but for my taste, a bit too compact. I prefer more generous, expansive spaces. What about you?

Palm Springs adapted modernism to the desert and never moved on. That’s why it still works.

California Modernism was never just the icons. 🌴 At Modernism Week, a panel with Alan Hess and Chris Kurrle examined how it evolved from a regional response into a global design influence. More 👉 bit.ly/4bVFqw7 #Architecture #ModernismWeek #Design

5 sites by women architects you should know. 🧵 Internationally, many of the names in modern architecture that dominate the zeitgeist are men. Here are five groundbreaking sites created by women architects during the 1950s–70s.

Women didn’t enter architecture in the 20th century. They were there all along—writing it. A new exhibition at ETH Zurich reveals how women shaped architecture through travel diaries, journalism, poetry—even cookbooks. 📚🏛️ Read more 👉 bit.ly/3PzDBvM #WomenInArchitecture #ArchitectureHistory #DesignHistory

#WomensHistoryMonth  recommended reading: "Damsels in Design: Women Pioneers in the Automotive Industry, 1939-1959" by Constance Smith. The book highlights exceptional women who excelled in the Mad Men era of automobile and #industrialdesign. 👏🏿👏👏🏾 rt @IDSA

Love this female-centric contributor. Bought this book and listened to the author at a Modernism Week in Palm Springs. Landscape is half the charm of the park. She also designed the contemporary aesthetics of the original Bullocks stores where I worked post graduation.
