A Double Celebration of Architecture & Design!
Join us poolside (and inside!) for a special evening celebrating architectural achievement, midcentury design and the people who continue to shape the architectural profession.
Part One: A Krisel Classic, Modernized for Today
Step inside a classic butterfly-roof home designed by legendary architect William Krisel, AIA, in 2007, inspired by his iconic 1950s designs. Discover how this architectural gem, cherished by the same family for 20 years, has been thoughtfully refreshed and modernized for 2027 by the H3K Home+Design team.
Tour the home, experience its timeless midcentury architecture and see how Krisel's original design principles have been preserved while embracing contemporary living.
Part Two: Celebrating Architectural Achievement
Raise a glass as we honor Vivian Lee, FAIA, Principal at Gensler New York and recipient of the prestigious 2026 AIA Edward C. Kemper Award. This distinguished national award recognizes outstanding contributions to the architectural profession.
Join us for a special design conversation with Vivian as she shares insights from her distinguished career, her perspective on the evolving world of architecture and design and the importance of inspiring the next generation of architects. Celebrate her remarkable achievements and Edward C. Kemper's enduring legacy.
Celebrate Architecture While Supporting Its Future!
Enjoy cocktails, nibbles, conversation, and an inspiring evening connecting architects, designers, architecture enthusiasts, and friends in Palm Springs.
A portion of the proceeds from this special event will benefit the AIA California Desert Chapter Scholarship Fund, supporting architecture students and helping foster the next generation of architects.
Two celebrations, one unforgettable evening honoring architectural heritage, professional achievement and the future of architecture!
