Raised and trained in Switzerland and having worked for Le Corbusier, Albert Frey (1903-1998) was closely identified with Palm Springs, California, and what was known as "Desert Modernism." In this scarce, heavily illustrated volume Frey uses the natural landscape, dwellings built by early peoples, urban planning ideas, and the industrial landscape to demonstrate his theories on architecture.
