The Palm Springs Modern Committee invites you to a continuing lecture series exploring the revolutionary principles of modernist design that transformed post-war America.
Following the very successful Desert Modernism 101 lecture series, we return with a new season hosted by a stellar line up of new guest speakers.
Delve into the forward-thinking world of midcentury architecture, culture, art and design; a movement that reshaped not only buildings, but the way we live, work, and think about space.
Developed by PS ModCom Education Committee leaders Joan Gand and Mimi Fisher; noted architectural preservationists from the Midwest, this series offers an engaging and informative look at how modernism became a cultural force.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY
FILM AND PRESENTATION: RICHARD NEUTRA’S MASLON HOUSE
Presented by Scott Goldstein, Dave Yakir and Greg Braun
UCR Palm Desert
Tuesday, April 7 – 6 – 7pm
The event will start with the short film, “Preservation Mirage Presents Richard Neutra’s Maslon House” by Scott Goldstein and Dave Yakir.
It will be followed by a presentation from PSModCom education committee’s Greg Braun that will give us a richer understanding of Neutra’s Masterpiece, and the greater significance of the loss when it was demolished.
Scott Goldstein and Dave Yakir are brothers-in-law and co-director/ producers working in Chicago and the greater Palm Springs area. Together they have created several award winning shorts as well as commercial and social media work. Both have accomplished solo careers but they came together to form Streeterville Productions to pursue passion projects, promote friends and paint outside the lines of their everyday work. They are very proud to present their first documentary, Richard Neutra’s Maslon House. Scott is vice-president of the board of Preservation Mirage.
Greg Braun is a long-time member of PS Modcom’s Education Committee, donating his time teaching architectural model building and perspective drawing to public and private school students in the Coachella Valley school system. Greg has been in the computer aided design/build industry for 37 years, with projects including world-class art museums, science centers, and international corporate headquarters. He currently teaches custom CAD software to US Postal Service industrial engineers for designing and documenting large industrial processing plant projects.
