The ICAA's educational offerings produce many tangible positives: students gain entry into the world of classical architecture, art, and design; careers are built; skills are discovered and refined; and an entire world is opened to enthusiasts, students, and professionals of all levels of experience.
One additional legacy of the ICAA's educational programs—including Summer Studio, Regional Intensives, Continuing Education Courses, and Christopher H. Browne Drawing Tours—is an incredible body of work: ink wash renderings, measured drawings, beautiful sketches (or esquisses), and superbly realized plans, elevations, and sections.
Below we are proud to share selections of student work that have appeared in the Classicist over the years, in what will be a growing collection.
The ICAA's Summer Studio in Classical Architecture has become a well-known and much-anticipated feature as each year, for four weeks, the classroom and library of the national headquarters roar to life with students from around the country, engaged in a robust series of courses, site visits, and engagements at cultural institutions, culminating in a fully-realized proposal for a classical pavilion for Brooklyn's Prospect Park.
Regrettably, safety considerations necessitated a suspension of this year's programming, but in its place the ICAA is proud to present the Summer Studio Retrospective, featuring four straight weeks of daily lectures, courses, and other online content. As part of this unique series, we are featuring some of the work from past Summer Studio students, as featured in the Classicist.
