This tour will visit the Six Moon Hill community in Lexington, MA, developed and built between 1947 and 1953 by and for members of The Architects Collaborative in Cambridge, a firm founded (and at that time still headed, by Walter Gropius). The community, based on egalitarian and utopian principles, encompasses 28 moderately prized houses (ca. $ 20000), which all share a mid-century modern design philosophy and formal language.

Screening of New England Modernism: Revolutionary Architecture in the 20th Century, followed by a panel conversation with the filmmaker, Jake Gorst; Jonathan Bell, Critic in Interior Architecture (RISD); Nancy Skolos, Professor in Graphic Design (RISD) and Thomas Wedell, Senior Critic, Graphic Design (RISD).

Cities are constantly being shaped by new development projects. Residents hotly debate whether the look and scale of a new building is appropriate. But what about the projects that never got built? This lecture and walking tour will explore several projects in Providence that were proposed but never constructed.
