architect_and_friends_blog_ossipoff_hawaiian_modern

During this year’s Modernism Week in Palm Springs we booked tickets for a lecture without knowing much about its topic: “Chasing Ossipoff: Walker Warner Architects on Building Upon Inspiration”.

Pierre Koenig – A view from the archive

Perhaps the world famous “Stahl House” in West Hollywood is Pierre Koenig’s best known building (thanks also to photographer Julius Schulmann) but to reduce him to just one building would definitely be wrong.

TRUTH TO BE TOLD

During this year’s Modernism Week in Palm Springs we attended a lecture about iconic LA architect Craig Ellwood.
