Hosted by the ICAA Northwest Chapter
Please join the Northwest chapter of the ICAA for a presentation and discussion centered around the esquisse process, a method developed at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts by which the early design process is systematized and demystified.
This course will complement a future esquisse design competition, hosted by the ICAA- NW, during which participants will be given a project prompt and be asked to complete a full esquisse. Entries will be judged by a panel of critics and a winner will be awarded. Participation in this course is encouraged but not required for participation in the esquisse design competition.
An excerpt from John Harbeson’s The Study of Architectural Design will be emailed to all participants.
To register for this event please email Meeghan M. Hart: [email protected]
This event is hosted by an ICAA Chapter. Please check the Chapter website or contact the Chapter directly for the most up-to-date details including dates, times, and pricing.
At the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Understand the history of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and its influence on Classical architecture in the Pacific Northwest
Identify the steps of the esquisse process
Form opinions on the merits of a rigorous, systematized design process
