Palm Springs Modernism
In the middle years of the 20th century
the mountains and desert sands of the Coachella
Valley inspired an aesthetic that would
become known as Desert Modernism. Notable
for its use of glass, clean lines, natural
and manmade materials, and indoor/outdoor
spaces, Desert Modernism defined a lifestyle
of elegant informality. The Desert Modern
style grew out of local and visiting architects'
desire to adapt modern materials, techniques
and floor plans to the unique requirements
of desert living. The talented designers
created modern structures of every size
and function: residential, commercial, civic,
religious, and institutional. Remarkably,
much of this historic legacy exists today
to be appreciated by future generations.
