Lost Modernists

Every fan of Modernist Architecture has heard of E. Stewart Williams, Bill Cody, Don Wexler, Krisel and Palmer or Clark and Frey. But what about the other set of architects, designers and people with the Modernist vision? If you've ridden the double-decked bus during Palm Springs Modernism week, there is no doubt that you heard the names mentioned above.
But did you hear about the buildings that Charles DuBois or James McNaughton designed? Rick Harrison (yes, the Harrison in Wexler and Harrison), Robert Ricciardi, or Ed Fickett?
Our documentary film looks at the lesser known, or second generation Modernists who designed some of the most wonderful modernist structures, we hope you will be along for the ride as we discover the Lost Modernists.
