“In my youth, out of necessity, I had to produce a desired result with the least material and effort. Since then I found this principle to be a stimulating challenge to create, with aesthetic possibilities and gratifying the intellect. Today, realizing that resources are limited and with populations increasing drastically, conspicuous consumption is against the common good.” — Albert Frey, 1990
Albert Frey, one of the early visionaries of modern architecture, lived and worked for nearly sixty years in Palm Springs, where his profound influence on the local architectural landscape is evident to even the casual observer.
