Largely due to the work of Palmer & Krisel and Wexler & Harrison there is a sense that the Butterfly Roof was invented here. Not true, as evidence. check out this 1949 demonstration house in the garden at MoMA. It was designed by Marcel Breuer.
After four years in Palm Springs, I'm learning to love the town's old and new buildings. This blog will post information about some of them from time to time. I'm thinking it will be part Architecture Appreciation, part architectural criticism. My architectural travel notes wil be posted on http://patrickstravelnotes.blogspot.com/. Over time, they might serve as an archive of the local architectural scene and a view out into the rest of the world.
Comments, corrections and new information are welcome...
