College Workshops

In-person programs are hosted at schools in collaboration with a university partner and often with a local Chapter of the ICAA. Many of the in-person Workshops are also open to regional practitioners. The program is taught by practicing architects, providing opportunity for students to engage a wealth of professional experience. Students complete a drawing of a classical order and a measured drawing of an architectural element at an historic building. Each workshop includes presentations and directed drawing exercises focused on:

• Architectural Literacy: Introduction to the grammar of the classical language and underlying principles of composition and building

• Study of Precedents: Measured drawing as a means of learning from buildings to inspire new design solutions

• Application in Practice: Presentations by architects who draw upon enduring models of architecture and urbanism in the design of new buildings and places, demonstrating the relevancy of classical architecture to students’ own worlds and future designs
