In this second film, Frey further develops a design style that blends industrial techniques with his love of nature. He also falls in love with the possibility of shaping a brand-new city. Returning to Palm Springs, Frey's new design language is Desert Modernism, beginning with his own house, Frey I, a renowned Modernist landmark.

Albert Frey, the unpretentious Swiss-born mid-20th century architect, was a significant force in the development of Modernism in the US, where 11 of his buildings are now on the National Register of Historic Places. The Architectural Envoy is the first film of a two-part film series and features Frey's early life up until 1939.
