Dwell on Design

Exploring the past, present, and future of modern architecture and design

Michela O'Connor Abrams, President and Publisher of Dwell, has announced plans for Dwell on Design: Palm Springs, a weekend celebrating design and architecture to be held at the Hotel Zoso in Palm Springs December 1-3 2006.

Known as a mecca of modern design and boasting one of the highest concentrations of important mid-century modern architecture in the United States, Palm Springs is the ideal location to address issues of preservation, sustainability, and the future of modern living. The weekend will be packed with information and activities including two very special cocktail receptions, a conference, an on-site modern showcase, a film premiere, and exclusive home tours.

"The lifespan of modern architecture, from its inception to its future, is at the heart of the Dwell mission," says Ms. O'Connor Abrams. "Over the course of this weekend, we we will explore this movement in an environment that is inherently conducive to experiencing the history and future of modern design."
