I just returned from 10 days in Palm Springs participating in the Modernism Week activities. The highlight included a lecture by the daughters of Eero Saarinen and Harry Bertoia, and granddaughter of the Eames. So very interesting to hear their recollections from the point of view of a family member and youngster and then also to see the lasting legacy of their work being continued by these women.
The home tours as well are awe inspiring for the interiors of course, but also for the incredible architecture. The House of Tomorrow by William Krisel is a mathematical marvel and the West House (of Batman fame) was transformed by Albert Frey. Thank goodness the many residential and commercial properties in P.S. and throughout the U.S. have been and continue to be preserved as more and more people value the impact of mid century modern architecture.
