365 Things to Do in Palm Springs

Exploring Palm Springs Modernism

Modernist architecture featuring finessed mid-century design defines many of the private residences, public buildings, businesses and entire neighborhoods of Palm Springs. The mid-century look and feel of the inventive design featuring clean, contemporary linear lines has shaped the landscape of this beckoning resort city. Desert Modern is found in designs fashioned from the artistic and creative minds of architects and designers such as Richard Neutra, Donald Wexler, William F. Cody, Albert Frey, to name a few. Check in with the Palm Springs Official Visitor Center (the old Tramway Gas Station of mid-century design itself), and plan on a guided tour of Palm Springs. Maps are available to guide you through your own personal tour of the neighborhoods and buildings that reflect this post-war modernism by the masters. You’ll want to explore streets where celebrity homes await, and historically significant structures you never knew existed. The 12th Annual Palm Springs Modernism Show & Sale will take place February 18 through 20, 2012; weekend admission is just $15. You can join in on the celebration of all things modern with aficionados from all over the world. It’s an event filled with double-decker bus tours, art events and openings, tours of the Frey House II, retro-themed parties, and more. Tour, explore and enjoy the adventure.
