Get your Modernism Week Fall Preview tickets now to celebrate Palm Springs architecture
Get a taste of what to expect at Modernism Week, the wildly popular annual celebration of Midcentury architecture and design, at the event’s Fall Preview held Oct. 18-21 in Palm Springs.
The fall version may be condensed into just four days, but it includes many of the Modernism Week staples: double-decker architectural bus tours, neighborhood tours, cocktail parties and panel discussions on topics such as concrete block screens and Midcentury Modern renovation challenges.
For the record:

New home tours include designer Christopher Kennedy’s renovation of a 1958 home in Vista Las Palmas, a rare opportunity to view three Steel Development Houses designed by the architectural firm of Wexler & Harrison in 1962, a 1958 Palmer & Krisel-designed home renovated by H3K Design, and the Modern Heritage Home Tour, featuring seven homes by architects Albert Frey, Donald Wexler and John Walling, among others.
The popular Cul-de-Sac Experience returns, where vintage automobiles are displayed in the driveways of homes designed by architect William Krisel, along with bus tours hosted by colorful historian Charles Phoenix and guided tours of the famed Sunnylands and Frey House II.
