""Reading Lost in Palm Springs is like taking awonderful journey through places both far and near, all of which are somehowrendered intimate and known by the skill of our guide, and master flaneur, DrGreer Honeywill. The work centres around the desert city of Palm Springs, acity so coloured by the hope and optimism of not just a great number of the midcentury's most notable architects, but also that of a nation. Importantly,Honeywill's work raises questions that have never been more vital for oursociety to consider. Most notably, questions of how we create affordablehousing in a manner that allows it to be produced en masse, but which is also,more importantly, a joy to inhabit, making poetry of the ordinary, day to day. Iam at once overwhelmed by the depth of investigation and wildly motivated toknow more. Thank you to the author for creating a work that celebrates the joyfound in the intersection of art, architecture, and life."" -- ShannonBattisson FRAIA, Australian National President, Australian Institute ofArchitects, Director Architecture, The Mill Architecture + Design
