Krátky popis
Architect Albert Frey (1903–1998) saw a modernist utopia in the
desert. Born in Zurich, he studied in Europe with Le Corbusier
before moving to the United States in 1930, convinced it was the
land of architectural opportunity. On a visit to Palm Springs, he
fell under the desert spell. It was here, amid the arid and empty
landscape, that he could truly envisage a perfect modern
future.Like fellow Californian luminary, John Lautner, Frey would
spend the rest of his career nurturing the consonance of
architecture and nature: studying the fall of sunlight and rain,
and merging aluminum, steel, and glass with the boulders and sands
of the West Coast wilds. His vision centered in particular on Palm
Springs, capitalizing on the city’s postwar population boom to
create a bastion of the sleek, leisurely modernism that defines
midcentury California.In this dependable architect introduction, we
follow Frey’s long and prestigious career from his European
beginnings through to the apogee of his Californian practice,
taking in his notes on De Stijl, Le Corbusier, and Bauhaus, and
exploring the stylistic, material, and geographic makings of his
unique “desert modernism.” About the series Each book in TASCHEN’s
