ABOUT THIS EVENT

A presentation by Chris Howe

Come and join us for SPUN’s final CPD presentation of the year!
We’re bringing a little Palm Springs sunshine, mid-century glamour and Rat Pack atmosphere to our end-of-year gathering.

Explore the architectural movement that established Palm Springs as an international icon of modernist residential design.
This illustrated presentation traces the evolution of Palm Springs Modernism through the influential architects, iconic homes and distinctive design aesthetic that shaped residential architecture in America and beyond.
Featuring photographs, drawings and projects by renowned architects Albert Frey, Richard Neutra, Hugh Kaptur and William Krisel, discover the innovation, lifestyle and cultural influences of the era, including the iconic homes and swimming pools of Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack.

A celebration of modern architecture, design and a little Palm Springs magic!

Aside from the fabulous talk,  the 3 students who received the SPUN Scholarship Internship will also present their experience during their internship.
