Old-school cool meets new chic
in the Southern California desert.
In the sun-kissed Coachella Valley of Southern

California, Palm Springs and its neighboring communities embrace
tradition alongside innovation like few places on earth. Take, for
example, the region's distinctive desert modernist structures, built
from the late 1930s to the 1970s. "Palm Springs is known internationally for its diversity and concentration of midcentury architecture
adapted to the desert," says valley native and architect Lance
O'Donnell. And while some of those buildings are meticulously preserved, others are being thoughtfully transformed into 21st-century
spaces-restaurants, museums, and more. A few harken back to
Hollywood's golden age, when Palm Springs first became a hideaway
for the stars. The wealth of vintage cool juxtaposed with the newand-now makes for an exciting trip back to the future. If you go, don't
miss these desert icons and current hot spots.

Modernism
Week (held
Feb. 13-23 this
year) draws
visitors to Palm
Springs with an
annual cavalcade
of exhibitions,
talks, and tours
of midcentury
modern homes.
