William Krisel's Palm Springs: The Language of Modernism Hardcover – February 9, 2016

Enjoyed this book! Shows the evolution of Krisel and his work. He was really ahead of his time! Properties that he designed in Palm Springs and Palm Desert are very much in demand today - a testament to the passion and quality of this architect!

This is a beautiful book. Great pictures , heavy and perfect coffee table book. My sister is an architect and Mid-Century and Palm Springs are her passions. She was so excited to get this for a gift and commented several times how much she has enjoyed it , my sister is not one of these , that is easy to please , and she doesn't gush over anything, but this book was a home run for me in the gift giving this year.

Beautiful book with wonderful photos and floor plans of the homes. I gave this as a gift and they enjoyed it. May have to get myself one for my coffee table !

Purchased as a gift for a friend that purchased and is restoring a house in palm springs in this fashion. Gave him great ideas and said will be the perfect coffee table book.

Great text with nice photographs and corresponding elevations.A nice tribute to a visionary architect who made great contributions to implementing mid-century modernism to every day consumers.Very short on the key ingredient of architecture - floor/site plans. Absence of floor plans makes it very difficult to truly feel integration of interior and exterior space which is the strongest attribute of a great Architect.

Always wanted a Palm Springs home. Thought mid century modern was the way to go. Never realized how mr. Krisel was the architect behind it all 40,000 homes designed sad built. The book is fabulous and gave me a lot of insight into my dream of owning one of these homes. Worth the read.

I have several people that just love looking at it

My wife and I were delighted to have found this book to add to our growing collection of Mid Century Modern books. This book is a must read for anyone interested in William Krisel'smid century modern architecture. Exterior and interior architectural photography is nicely documented by photographer Darren Bradley, who in our opinion is the Julius Shulman of our time. Each and everyone of his photos is well thought out and perfectly executed. Would highly recommend this book.
