If you are looking for a Palm Springs revival, you'll find it here.

Wildly liberated in the post-war years, Palm Springs was all about luxury, parties, sex and sun. It was inspired by the designs of European architects like Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Walter Gropius commissioned by American tycoons to build slick residences that blended perfectly into the huge Mojave desert.
