Albert Frey: the Desert Prophet is a documentary film that sheds light on the remarkable life and career of the visionary Swiss architect Albert Frey.
Born in Zurich in 1903, Albert Frey is considered an important but so far unrecognized pioneer of modern architecture in the United States.
From his formative years in Europe, where he worked with Le Corbusier in Paris, to his groundbreaking contributions for MoMA in New York, to his iconic designs in the California desert in Palm Springs from the 1930s onwards, Frey's work embodies the essence of early modernism. His innovative solutions, his commitment to sustainability and his progressive buildings, which have a strong connection to their environment and to nature, demonstrate the lasting relevance of his way of thinking.
