The ICAA Intensive in Classical Architecture: New York
January 4, 2020 |
Among the ICAA’s most impactful and enduring education models is its Intensive Program in Classical Architecture – an eight-day course of study that introduces participants to the ICAA’s core curriculum through coursework in the classical orders, composition, proportion, drafting, observational drawing, and the literature of classical architecture. Participants learn how to draw, render, and compose with the classical language to form an understanding of the basic theoretical tenets on which the classical tradition is founded. Instruction is provided by professionals and educators active in the field of classical design. Classroom hours are balanced between studio work, lectures, and guided tours and visits. The Intensive program also satisfies the core course requirements for the ICAA’s Certificate in Classical Architecture.
Please note that in addition to the programming offered January 4 - 11, there will be an optional Hand Drafting session held on Friday, January 3, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM. If you are interested in attending this session, please email education@classicist.org when you sign up for the Intensive program.
What You Will Learn

Topics include: The classical elements and composition, proportion, architectural representation through drawing and rendering, the study of precedent,? and the literature of classical architecture.
The week culminates in a studio project in which students use the classical canon in the design of a small building.
