MODERNISM EXHIBIT: Fast Forward--The Architecture of William F. Cody

Join Friends of the Palm Springs Library in welcoming CATHY CODY NEMIROVSKY, daughter of famed architect, WILLIAM F. CODY, as she cuts the ribbon to open this tribute to her father, Friday, February 17 at 10 a.m. in front of the exhibit entrance on the south side of the Library. This special exhibit arrives directly from the Los Angeles Architecture + Design Museum, and is a self-guided tour celebrating the centennial birth of the architect and his seminal contributions to Modern architecture.

See images, photos, plans and more spanning his career, many never previously seen. Also on display will be new projects inspired by architecture students after studying the Cody archives housed at Cal Poly/San Luis Obispo. A video with curator Jo Lauria will be screened (as interviewed by local architecture expert Michael Stern) wherein she describes the exhibit and Cody's continuing relevance to contemporary design. This one-of-a-kind exhibition of Cody’s architecture is based on archival research and additional input from his family.

Tickets available for $10 at www.modernismweek.com or $15 at the door.

Exhibit open daily, February 17-26.
