Ludwig Favre photographs Palm Springs City Hall, a 1957 piece of desert modernism by Albert Frey and Clark, Frey & Chambers. The whole building turns on a small radical gesture: a hole cut through the canopy lets a single palm grow up through the architecture. Favre's image holds the building level and exact, in the flat California sun that the design was made for. The photograph belongs to his long Palm Springs catalogue, returning regularly to the city's most quietly inventive buildings.
