Free for ICAA Members$20 General PublicREGISTER
The study of mouldings is a fundamental component of the language or canon of classical architecture. This course will examine the systematic aspects for the design, delineation, and understanding of mouldings, for both interiors and exteriors, used in professional practice, based on everlasting scholarship and the exploration of good precedent.
Topics covered will include methodology for determining the modulated sizes of mouldings within a composition, the celebratory ornamental enrichment of moulding profiles, and a review of different influential architectural traditions of moldings including Greek, Roman, French, and Georgian mouldings. Moulding materiality, such as wood, plaster, and stone, have an impact on the design of mouldings and will also be evaluated.
Examples from professional practice will traverse adaptations of the classical mouldings profiles from masters such as Palladio, Sir Christopher Wren, Sir Edwin Lutyens, to contemporary architects, and illustrate the use and composition of moldings as an ever-present, evolving, and elaborative continuum founded on enduring principles of craft, quality, and beauty.
