When it was first displayed in 1931 at the Architectural League of New York's annual Exposition of Architectural and Allied Arts, the Aluminaire House designed by Albert Frey and A. Lawrence Kocher turned heads. Nobody had ever seen an 'all-metal house' before. To commemorate the groundbreaking prototype designed for delivering high-quality, low-cost housing for the masses, the Palm Springs Art Museum in Coachella, California announced last month a permanent exhibition dedicated to the avant-garde project by Frey and Kocher.
