Modernism Week

"A few more fun snaps from Modernism Week with the Mod Squad. Palm Springs, great design, and a crew that knows how to appreciate a good breeze block moment. 🌴" - #PSModSquad Chrissi Hernandez

A moment of appreciation for our 2026 Keynote Speaker, Elizabeth Diller @dsrny Diller is known for reshaping cities — and minds — by dismantling conventions and rebuilding meaning. Moving fluidly between disciplines has shaped Diller’s work for more than four decades. She is a founding partner of Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DS+R) and a Professor of Architecture at @Princeton. Her cross-genre work has been distinguished with @TIME’s "100 Most Influential People" list and the first @macfound fellowship awarded in the field of architecture. We were truly honored to welcome her to the Modernism Week stage this year. Learn more about DS+R's work: dsrny.com #WomensHistoryMonth

Still dreaming of an unforgettable evening at The Hidden Estate, once home to Clark Gable and Carole Lombard 💫 During Modernism Week, guests were transported to the golden age of Palm Springs, where vintage style, live big band music, and dancing under the desert stars set the scene. This iconic estate came alive with jitterbug performances, chilled martinis, and curated bites. Many thanks to our generous sponsor @NaturalRetreats for opening the doors to one of the week’s most memorable soirées! 🥂

#OnThisDay in 1964, architect Jeanne Gang was born. "Good ideas come from everywhere. It's more important to recognise a good idea than to author it."

Florence Knoll ➕ Ray Eames are part of the DNA of @MillerKnoll. For #WomensHistoryMonth, celebrate trailblazing women who have made their mark in the modern design movement. 👁 @millerknoll Instagram stories every Wednesday, to learn about these design pioneers.

Women didn’t enter architecture in the 20th century. They were there all along—writing it. A new exhibition at ETH Zurich reveals how women shaped architecture through travel diaries, journalism, poetry—even cookbooks. 📚🏛️ Read more 👉 bit.ly/3PzDBvM #WomenInArchitecture #ArchitectureHistory #DesignHistory

#WomensHistoryMonth  recommended reading: "Damsels in Design: Women Pioneers in the Automotive Industry, 1939-1959" by Constance Smith. The book highlights exceptional women who excelled in the Mad Men era of automobile and #industrialdesign. 👏🏿👏👏🏾 rt @IDSA

From hosting the now-iconic "Poolside Gossip" shoot with Slim Aarons at her home, the Kaufmann Desert House (IYKYK...this moment truly captured the essence of desert modernism!) to championing art, architecture, and community, Nelda Linsk helped put Palm Springs on the global map as a hub of style and sophistication. More than “the Lady in Yellow,” she was a tastemaker, connector, and steward of modernist design, opening galleries, supporting institutions like the Palm Springs Art Museum, and preserving the architectural legacy that defines the city today. This year, we were proud to honor her as the First Lady of Modernism Week, a true icon whose influence continues to inspire generations of creatives and design lovers. 💛 Learn more about Nelda's incredible life via @palmspringslife. #WomensHistoryMonth palmspringslife.com/arts-culture/n…

@WDFMuseum Love this female-centric contributor. Bought this book and listened to the author at a Modernism Week in Palm Springs. Landscape is half the charm of the park. She also designed the contemporary aesthetics of the original Bullocks stores where I worked post graduation.

@JoshLipnik Visited Palm Springs. Modernism week. One cool shot from Movie Colony area
