Authors on Architecture: Keylon on Kaptur
SAH/SCC Zoom Program
Sunday, June 25, 2023
This
June, SAH/SCC will welcome author Steve Keylon on his book The Modern Architecture of Hugh Michael Kaptur (Palm Springs Preservation
Foundation,2019), which explores the
life and work of this modern architect. Keylon discusses hundreds of Kaptur projects—some
that attendees will be familiar with and others they will be surprised by.
With the aid of hundreds of hours of interviews,
archival materials at the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center,
and Kaptur’s own materials, Keylon traces the arc of the remarkable career of Hugh
Kaptur (b. 1931) from the avant-garde modern designs of the 1950s and 1960s, to
his more organic modern designs of the late-1960s and 1970s.
Keylon is the vice-president of the Palm
Springs Preservation Foundation. He also wrote The Design of Herbert W. Burns (Palm Springs Preservation Foundation,
2018) and is editor of Eden, the Journal
of the California Garden & Landscape History Society. Keylon is also a founding
member of the Stewardship Council of The Cultural Landscape Foundation and serves
on the board of DocomomoUS/SoCal.
