2.5 AIA CES Learning Units|HSW and 2.5 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture
The elements of classical architecture include the formalized canon of proportioning systems and geometries for the classical orders that has guided the practice of architecture since antiquity. Collectively, the orders present a spectrum of complexity in detail and refinement, and a tectonic ordering system that is evident in the design of all classical buildings. This course introduces the nomenclature and proportional relationships of the Tuscan order, as well as a process for proportioning a columnar order for any set of dimensional parameters. Participants will lay out, through freehand drawing, a Tuscan column and the details of its base, capital, and entablature according to a method based on that of the 16th century architect Giacomo Barozzi daVignola. The class concludes with a look at some of the syntax that guides the application of the Tuscan order within an architectural composition and its use in buildings past and present.This course (or equivalent experience) is a prerequisite for the advanced elements course Composing with the Tuscan Order on Saturday, November 16.Mark Jackson developed his interest in historic architecture at Kent State University, where he received a Bachelor’s of Architecture in 2005. He pursued his passion for classical architecture and continued his formal education with a Masters of Architecture from the University of Notre Dame in 2009 and joined Hamady Architects of Greenwich and Boston. With Hamady Architects, Mark is an integral part of the design team on several projects that have garnered Stanford White Awards and a Palladio Award. In addition to his professional work, Mark has been an instructor with the ICAA's Summer Studio in Classical Architecture and has served as a guest juror for the ICAA and Kent State University.
