Wildly liberated in the post-war years, Palm Springs was all about luxury, parties, sex and sun. It was inspired by the designs of European architects like Ludwig Mies Van de Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Walter Gropius, commissioned by American tycoons to build slick residences that blended perfectly into the huge Mojave desert. This book takes a look at Neutra's Kauffmann House, Lautner's Elrod House, the Frey House II, Frey's Loewy Residence, and all the essential places in Palm Springs.
