*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
A comprehensive volume on Swiss-American architect Albert Frey, whose "simple but severe" style of Desert Modernism cemented his legacy as one of the most influential architects worldwide. 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. 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.
