The Lincoln Historical Society, in collaboration with Friends of Modern Architecture, will host a presentation of “As the Twig Is Bent, So Goes the Tree… A Shared Philosophy: New England Transcendentalism and European Modernism” by Lincoln resident and FoMA President Dana Robbat. The meeting and talk are on Saturday, June 12 from 4:30–5:30 p.m. The Lincoln Historical Society will hold its brief annual meeting in advance of the presentation, which will highlight the age-old social ideals of New England’s Puritan and Transcendental philosophical heritage that provided fertile ground for the arrival of the philosophically aligned European Modernists who arrived at Harvard and MIT in the late 1930s and subsequently had a profound effect on Lincoln’s built and natural environments.

Founding Partner at The Architects Collaborative (TAC), Sally Pillsbury Harkness broke many boundaries during her life. As an architect, she was one of a very few women to practice architecture in the mid-twentieth century and fewer still working at the highest level of responsibility in a firm. She lectured widely on architectural topics of modernity, sustainability and accessibility. In her lecture titled “Architecture as Craft,” she defines the presence of craft within the industrialized mass production in the Modern Movement. This lecture explores these acts of resilience in the discipline through her own works of architecture and furniture design.
