Hosted by the ICAA Florida Chapter | 5 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Measured Drawing) | 5 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective
The Study of Precedents – Measured DrawingsThe course is structured to give the participants an opportunity to learn how to document an existing building using the HABS (Historic American Buildings Survey) standards for recording historic structures, as a team. To do so the building subject will be understood as a cohesive collection of architectural details within larger comprehensive building drawings. Building subjects are selected for their architectural beauty and richness, with an emphasis on composition, material, and method of construction.
Each participant will select an architectural subject at the Biltmore Hotel, in which they will produce a “field note,” a large proportional sketch, composed on a 17x22 sheet of graph paper. They will be encouraged to carefully consider the field information they would need if they were to proceed with drafting the subject back at their studio. While the content of each drawing may vary, they will be encouraged to develop a sheet layout where they can combine drawing views and scales so as to capture a comprehensive understanding of their subjects. They will also consider what dimensions are practically attainable while on site, lay out their dimension strings, and help each other to record the field dimensions.
