Albert Frey: Inventive Modernist

Bag om Albert Frey: Inventive Modernist

A comprehensive volume on Swiss-American architect Albert Frey (1903-1998), Inventive Modernist tracks the scope and significance of Frey's career, from his early days in Paris working with Le Corbusier to his rise as the iconic architect of Palm Springs. His unique "simple but severe" style of Desert Modernism cemented his legacy as one of the most influential architects, not only in California, but also in the United States and the world. With full access to Frey's various archives, the book provides many rare and previously unexhibited architectural models, drawings, films, photographs, and furniture, and offers an exceptional visual guide that goes far beyond the mere documentation of finished buildings. New academic research, in-depth essays, and a thorough, illustrated listing of the architect's projects between 1925 and 1997 serve to contextualize Frey's relevance today while securing his importance as a twentieth-century architectural master.
