Crafting the Classical Interior

Using the principle of selective omission, students will learn how to apply the proportioning and detailing of a classical order to the elevations of a room. The course will provide practice with the full expression of a columnar order within a room, as well as the use of an implied order, and how to differentiate more and less important spaces. The canonical details of the order will also be covered by way of introduction. Students will draw both the order and at least one design for a classical interior, and will be equipped to do so again with different orders and across a variety of interiors.

Instructor:
Charles Shafer is a senior architect at Skurman Architects, where he helps manage a portfolio of large residential projects for the firm. He has also recently overseen the integration of Revit into Skurman’s design approach. Still a fan of the pencil and paintbrush, Charles continues to thoroughly enjoy teaching watercolor, drawing, and architecture workshops for the ICAA and its chapters. Educated at Notre Dame, and Williams College, and with a stint as a high school Chemistry teacher, Charles favors a multidisciplinary approach to design problems. He has also worked with ARCAS, Paris and Hope for Architecture in Oklahoma.
