PALM SPRINGS LIFE
AUGUST 2017
The museum’s Architecture and Design Center asserts a fresh storyline for modernism enthusiasts and an overdue appreciation for the iconic Palm Springs architect Albert Frey. Four houses provide a window into Albert Frey and Lina Bo Bardi: A Search for Living Architecture (through Jan. 7, 2018): the glass houses the architects built for themselves (Frey House II in Palm Springs and Casa de Vidro in São Paulo), and Bo Bardi’s Cirell House and Frey’s Aluminaire House, an experimental aluminum, glass, and steel structure designed in partnership with A. Lawrence Kocher that will be installed later this year across the street from the museum.
