Expanding the limits of modernist architecture, Lina Bo Bardi and Albert Frey’s practice is both critical and responsive.

Answering to the climate of their respective locales, their spaces create dialogues between nature and society.
A Search for Living Architecture is at Palm Springs Art Museum until 7 January. Find out more: www.psmuseum.org.
