When the world thinks of good design, the style, panache, and fresh modern look of the Southern California architectural tradition comes immediately to mind.

Never has the local design community experienced such a boom, been more sought after, more written about and appreciated. Now CA Boom: A Festival of Contemporary Design, celebrates the excitement, accessibility, and affordability of good design in a three-day festival that showcases the electrifying and eclectic mix of people who make up the California architecture, landscape, and interior design community. 3-day admission is $69.00 and 1-day admission is $27.50.

Michelle Kaufmann at DWR SOLD OUT! (Palo Alto, CA, from 06-10-2004 18:30 to 06-10-2004 20:30) — by Marshall Mayer

You may have seen architect Michelle Kaufmann’s pioneering design, the Glidehouse, “a prefabricated house built to collaborate with nature,” at Sunset Magazine’s Celebration Weekend. But maybe you missed it. The novel idea for quality, green, pre-fab modernist housing came to Kaufmann after six fruitless months house-hunting in the Bay Area, and is now being offered in nine different sizes and configurations by Redmond, WA-based Construction Resource Group. If you're in the Bay Area, Kaufmann will be presenting the Glidehouse in the Palo Alto Studio of Design Within Reach on Thursday, June 10 from 6:30 to 8:30pm for what promises to be a fascinating presentation and discussion of the Glidehouse project. Space is limited to the first 50 LiveModern guests; please RSVP to LiveModern ASAP with the number of seats you would like held for you.
