About Modernism in Palm Springs
Modern architecture arrived in Palm Springs during the mid-20th century when Hollywood movie stars and affluent snowbirds gathered in the California desert to party. They brought with them a hunger for all things new, stylish, and modern–including their fabulous resort homes–and the talented architects they hired were eager to satisfy the demand. Today, this Modern architectural legacy lives on in thousands of lovingly preserved, classic, midcentury modern homes and buildings, designed by some of the country’s most notable modernist architects. Architecture Tours by Modernism Week offers a deep dive into this rare and remarkable architectural heritage.
