Visiting Exhibit

Between Wilderness and Civilization: Monson, Maine

An exhibit featuring innovative projects form the Harvard University Graduate School of Design Seminar led by Toshiko Mori.

Twelve students researched and analyzed Maine's potential to pave a path into the future.  This analysis sought to balance the current climate crisis and sustainable ecology with Mainer's traditional ethos of self-reliance and living in balance with nature.
