Steel Modern

Season 6 Episode 3

Artbound explores the architectural past and present in Southern California. Featuring Danny Heller’s paintings of mid-century modern architecture in Palm Springs; the superadobe construction techniques of Cal-Earth whose experimental designs are challenging the ubiquitous cookie-cutter suburban communities in the urbanized southwestern Mojave Desert; Jackrabbit Homesteads and the cultural legacy of the Small Tract Act in Southern California's Morongo Basin; the iconic pre-fabricated modular Steel Development houses by architects Wexler & Harrison in Palm Springs; and the preservation efforts to maintain the historic Watts Towers built by Simon Rodia. Also featuring the music of Daniel Lanois.
