DESCRIPTION:
Many of the buildings shown herein are not easily accessible by, or in some cases completely off-limits to, the general public, so the photographs in this book may be the only opportunity for midcentury aficionados to ever see some of these buildings.. These included secret gems created by such famous modernist architects as William Cody and John Porter Clark, as well as others by relatively lesser-known designers. In 2008, Daniel Chavkin began photographing some of the more discreet and off-the-beaten-path midcentury modern homes and buildings in the Palm Springs area. The result is this rich photographic collection of largely unseen examples of desert modern architecture

Great book John StrobelMark Mullis Great book. A stunning modernist architectural record! Dan's photographs are stunning. His eye for capturing interesting points of view of the many modernist homes he photographed gives renewed appreciation of those architects' contribution.. Five Stars Jody Stokes Love it!
