Biographical Note: Albert Frey, FAIA, was born 1903 in Switzerland, and earned his architecture diploma there in 1924. He moved to Paris in 1928 to work for Le Corbusier, on projects including the Villa Savoye. Moving to New York in 1930, Frey was the first Corbusier disciple to work in the U.S. There, he became partners with architect A. Lawrence Kocher, who was also managing 2 ALBERT FREY COLLECTION Finding Aid and Inventory editor of Architectural Record magazine. Together they published numerous articles on urban planning, the modernist aesthetic, and technology. Kocher and Frey also designed four buildings, including the acclaimed Aluminaire House, a demonstration house designed for the Exhibition of the Architectural League in New York, 1931. In 1934, Frey came to Palm Springs to supervise construction of the Kocher-Samson Building, a mixed-use building for his partner’s brother, J.J. Kocher. Frey fell in love with the area, and worked with John Porter Clark for two years under the offices of Van Pelt and Lind as neither architect was yet licensed in California. Returning to New York in 1937 to work on the Museum of Modern Art, Frey moved back to Palm Springs permanently two years later. Rejoining Clark in a partnership, Frey went onto design a body of work including residential, commercial, institutional and civic buildings. Many of these buildings are preserved today including Raymond Loewy House (1946-47), Palm Springs City Hall (1952), Palm Springs Aerial Tramway Valley Station (1963) and Frey House II (1963-64) and the most recently restored North Shore Yacht Club at the Salton Sea (1958). Frey lived in Palm Springs until his death in 1998. As Palm Springs’ first full-time, resident architect, Frey is known as one of the founders of Desert Modernism. Scope and Content Note: Upon his death Albert Frey donated to the Palm Springs Art Museum his second residence in Palm Springs, 686 Palisades Drive (Frey House II), and the contents of the residence. The Albert Frey Collection (55-1999.2) was acquired in 1999 at the bequest of Albert Frey. Materials came from the Frey property. The collection contains drawings, slides, negatives, scrapbooks, books, magazines, codes, standards, professional association materials, artifacts and vendor samples and catalogs, correspondence, and household items. As with many collections of this kind the contents of the manuscript folders had mostly been arranged into groupings by the donor for his own use. This original order simplified the arrangement of the collection into standard archival series and allowed the maintenance of Frey’s filing methods. Besides the organized files there was a quantity of material filed without any discernable organization. These materials were organized into Series IV and V with a differentiation into purely personal materials and materials concerned with the profession of architect. After being arranged intellectually the manuscript materials were transferred into acid- free folders with the photographic materials transferred into the appropriate acid-free sleeves. The collection is organized into 14 series each of which is described below: Series I: Correspondence - Active Series II: Correspondence – Inactive 3 ALBERT FREY COLLECTION Finding Aid and Inventory Series III: Finances - CONFIDENTIAL Series IV: Personal Files, Miscellaneous Series V: Architectural Files, Miscellaneous Series VI: Architectural Projects Series VII: Personal and Architectural Photographs Series VIII: Blueprints, Drawings, and Maps Series IX: Books Series X: Magazines /Periodicals and Clippings Series XI: Vendor Catalogs and Codes, Standards, etc. Series XII: Memorabilia + Artifacts Series XIII: Household Items Series XIV: Frey House II Each folder in this collection was assigned a locator number to assist in file retrieval. This assigned location includes a capital roman numeral for the series, a capital letter for the box or drawer, and a folder number within the box or drawer. Folder descriptions include dates of included materials when available. Most folders also include undated materials. Due to Frey’s filing methods an Index to Architectural Projects has been provided at the end of the inventory to assist researchers in retrieving all files relevant to specific projects. Series Description Series I: Correspondence - Active The Active Correspondence Series was originally alphabetically filed without many individual folders. The loose contents of this file were sorted into folders often containing several letters of the alphabet. The larger files were mostly correspondence and other materials dealing with individual architectural projects. Series II: Correspondence – Inactive The Inactive Correspondence Series generally consists of correspondence and other materials dealing with individual architectural projects. Series III: Finances - CONFIDENTIAL The Finances Series consist of a variety of materials dealing with Albert Frey’s everyday financial life and includes cancelled checks, bank account statements, individual income tax statements, bank passbooks, paid bills, and medical bills. The series also includes a few partnership income tax returns within the period 1949-1971 and some ledger materials delineating employees and their payroll information. Most financial information dealing with architectural projects will be found in Series VI. 4 ALBERT FREY COLLECTION Finding Aid and Inventory Series IV: Personal Files, Miscellaneous This series contains materials concerning Frey’s life outside of his work and interests as an architect. This includes his family, marriage and divorce, engagements and telephone calls, naturalization and passports, etc. Series V: Architectural Files, Miscellaneous The Architectural Files series groups together all of the materials which deal with Frey and his architectural work and concerns which were not directly related to specific projects. It includes architectural supply catalogs, articles and books about Frey, the Frey and Chambers partnership, and a scrapbook whose contents delineate Frey’s life as an architect. Series VI: Architectural Projects The project files are mostly arranged by project and individual names and include a variety of materials. Blueprints and photographs had been removed and refilled in the appropriate series. Most of the project files deal with the design and construction of residences for individuals. This series also includes separate files of forms useful in architectural projects, project billing statements and time sheets, and information concerning projects deemed significant or of architectural interest. Series VII: Personal and Architectural Photographs This series contains photographic materials originally grouped together by Frey and other photographs which were found scattered throughout other files in the collection. The first group of materials is photographic albums which were assigned a number for organizational purposes. These include family and travel materials and many views of the desert shot by Frey. Where possible photographs were removed from the original loose- leaf binders and placed in acid-free sleeves for purposes of preservation. Some of the color photographs were probably sent to Frey by other individuals who had visited him or were showing their own houses. There are several photographers represented in the collection. Among the most prolific is Julius Shulman. Gayle’s Studio was also used generally for drawings, sketches, and models. Other photographs may be found in the scrapbook which is filed as part of Series V. Most photographs in this series are undescribed and undated. Series VIII: Blueprints, Drawings, and Maps This series consists of oversize, mostly architectural project, materials generally stored in flat blueprint files. Some of the blueprints were prepared by other architects as noted. 5 ALBERT FREY COLLECTION Finding Aid and Inventory Series IX: Books A total of 161 books identified in library online catalog as “Albert Frey Collection”.

  • Mid-Century Modern and Florida Tropical Architecture Emily Mason College of Design, Construction and Planning, University of Florida
    ISSN: 2683-0668 ____________________________________________________ Rufus Nims: Mid-century Modern and Florida Tropical Architecture Emily Mason College of Design, Construction and Planning, University of Florida Faculty mentor: Vandana Baweja, School of Architecture Abstract Mid-century modern architecture developed after the Second World War as numerous technological advancements allowed for open house plans with the increased use of glass and a reconfiguration of indoor-outdoor relationships. Rufus Nims, a Miami architect (1913–2005), hybridized emerging ideas of mid-century modernism with climatic design that emerged in the field of tropical architecture after the Second World War. Nims experimented with homes that had disappearing walls; and that could be comfortable in the hot and humid climate of Florida. This paper will analyze Rufus Nims’ role in the development of Florida Tropical Architecture, through his seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces. Further, this study will assess how Rufus Nims used tropical architecture strategies in South Florida, such as screened-in porches, disappearing walls, and landscape integration. The paper argues that Rufus Nims’ architectural ideas were based on an emerging redefinition of the indoor-outdoor spatial relationships as was evident in the broader mid-century modern movement and Florida Tropical Architecture. Introduction Mid-century Modern In Europe, the modernism movement began after the First World War with a need to industrialize the building production process, minimize the cost of construction, and provide a livable home designed for human habitation.1 Architects from Germany including Walter Gropius, Marcel Breuer, and Mies van der Rohe came to America during the 1930s at Harvard and changed Harvard’s emphasis from Beaux-Arts Architecture to Bauhaus modernism.

It has come to our attention that companies operating under various names have been sending subscription renewal notices and new subscription offers to both subscribers and non-subscribers of various NAA member newspapers. These notices falsely imply that they are sent on behalf of a member newspaper and falsely represent that the consumer is obtaining a favorable price. In reality, these notices are not authorized by our member newspapers, and often quote prices that far exceed the actual subscription price. We understand that the companies sending these deceptive subscription renewal notices operate under many different names, but that many of them are subsidiaries or affiliates of Liberty Publishers Services or Orbital Publishing Group, Inc. We have sent this letter to this address because it is cited on many of the deceptive notices. Liberty Publishers Services, Orbital Publishing Group, and their corporate parents, subsidiaries, and other affiliated entities, distributors, assigns, licensees and the respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees and agents of the foregoing, including but not limited to the entities listed in Attachment A (collectively, “Liberty Publishers Services” and/or “Orbital Publishing Group”), are not authorized by us or any of our member newspapers to send these notices.

  • 3 Term—Day—Time: Spring 2021—Tuesdays—10:00Am-12:50
    TOPICS IN MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ARCH 404 Units: 3 Term—Day—Time: Spring 2021—Tuesdays—10:00am-12:50pm Location: ZOOM Instructor: Kenneth Breisch Office Hours: Tuesdays—2-3pm or by appointment Contact Info: [email protected] (I will respond to emails/voicemails within 24 hours Monday-Friday, and on the Monday following a weekend or holiday break) Class Assistant: Ani Mnatsakanyan Contact Info: [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION There are few regions in the world where it is more exciting to explore the scope of twentieth-century architecture than in Southern California. It is here that European and Asian influences combined with the local environment, culture, politics and vernacular traditions to create an entirely new vocabulary of regional architecture and urban form. Lecture topics range from the stylistic influences of the Arts and Crafts Movement and European Modernism to the impact on architecture and planning of the automobile, World War II, or the USC School of Architecture during the 1950s. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of this course, students will be able to: 1. read and interpret architectural plans, sections and elevations 2. Identify major periods of development and architects in the history of Southern California architecture, planning and landscape design from prehistory to the present day 3. Critically analyze the relationship between architectural or landscape forms (sometimes identified with the idea of style) and the cultural, political and economic forces that shaped them PREREQUISITE(S): Students in this class come from a broad range of disciplines, some of whom will have a background in architecture, but this is not necessary to take this class.
