"Reading Lost in Palm Springs is like taking a wonderful journey through places both far and near, all of which are somehow rendered intimate and known by the skill of our guide, and master flaneur, Dr Greer Honeywill. The work centres around the desert city of Palm Springs, a city so coloured by the hope and optimism of not just a great number of the mid century's most notable architects, but also that of a nation. Importantly, Honeywill's work raises questions that have never been more vital for our society to consider. Most notably, questions of how we create affordable housing 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. I am at once overwhelmed by the depth of investigation and wildly motivated to know more. Thank you to the author for creating a work that celebrates the joy found in the intersection of art, architecture, and life." -- Shannon Battisson FRAIA, Australian National President, Australian Institute of Architects, Director Architecture, The Mill Architecture + Design
