I was born in Lexington, Massachusetts in 1911 to a homemaker and New Jersey state highway engineer.  I graduated from the Vail Deane School in 1928 and Vassar College in 1932 with a major in English.

After college I became one of the first fellows at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin studio near Spring Green, Wisconsin.  It was at Taliesin where I met my first husband a draftsman from Basel, Switzerland who worked in Wright’s studio from January 1931 to April 1933.  I later became director of the Department of Architecture and Design at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and a university professor.  I was a charter apprentice at Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin, and the first former Taliesin fellow to join the MoMA staff.  I was an influential advocate for modern architecture in the United States.  My involvement with the MoMA started in 1937 when I began working part-time for the museum’s Curator of Architecture and Industrial Design, John McAndrew.  A year later I co-circulated my first exhibition, “What is Modern Architecture?”.  I became McAndrew’s full-time assistant in 1940.  When McAndrew was dismissed in 1942, I became the director where I remained until 1946.  During my time there, I produced many exhibits, including: “Built in the U.S.A.: 1932–1944” (1944), “Tomorrow’s Small House: Models and Plans” (1945), and “If You Want to Build a House”.  I curated seven MoMA exhibitions in total between 1938 and 1946. In 1948 I was an assistant professor of architectural history and librarian at the University of Oklahoma.
