lunchtime series for anyone interested in historic preservation\, architecture\, planning\, hi story\, and related fields. Each one-hour session features a conversation with the author or a key contributor of a recent preservation-related titl e. There’s no need to read the book in advance—whether you’ve read e very page\, browsed the photos\, or are simply curious\, you’re invited to join. The program includes a brief presentation by the guest speaker\, followed by a Q&\;A with questions from CPF’s Education Committee lea d and audience members. About the Book: The Palm Springs School: Desert M odernism 1934-1975(from publisher website)Palm Springs is at the center of a unique tradition in architecture marked by invention and a sensitivity to local conditions that has resulted in design that exerts an influence f ar greater than the town’s small size. The book is the first to fully ex plore the wide ranging forms this architecture has taken\, from houses to gas stations\, hotels to airports\, banks to restaurants and spas.Much mor e than a resort destination\, Palm Springs has served as a laboratory of t he Modern\; here so much architectural innovation and design took form. Fr om 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 designers—including notably William F. Cody\, E. Stewart Williams\, and Albert Frey—were 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 technolo gy efficiently and creatively to meet those challenges? How to build affor dable and high-quality mass-produced housing? How to reflect a region’s culture\, economy\, and distinctive atmosphere?Architects here responded t o nature’s climatological demands\, and Palm Springs became a center for innovations that were rooted in practice more than theory. Benefitting fr om the architectural freedoms offered by the remoteness of the California desert\, designers explored new approaches that we can now identify as cen tral to the Palm Springs School\, shown here in rich archival and contempo rary photography.Purchase the book! https://www.rizzoliusa.com/book/978084 7842551/About the Speakers: Alan HessArchitect and historian Alan Hess is the architecture critic for the San Jose Mercury News and the author of n ineteen books on mid-20th-century Modern architecture and urbanism\, inclu ding monographs on architects Oscar Niemeyer\, Frank Lloyd Wright\, and Jo hn Lautner\; as well as architectural histories of Las Vegas and Palm Spri ngs.
