Hosted by the Philadelphia Chapter | 2 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective and 2 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Tuscan Order)
Space is limited to 16. Register today!
This course is an introduction to the Tuscan order, the first of the five classical orders of architecture. Students will learn the history of the Tuscan order, its parts, and proportions through a brief lecture, and a hands-on demonstration showing the construction of the order and its details. Students will follow along with the demonstration and complete several drawings, from the overall layout of the order to enlarged details of its various parts. The evening will end with a short discussion of the application of the Tuscan order in practice through images of real-world examples.
The course is structured to provide those who are new to the classical language – or those looking to refresh their knowledge – with a solid foundation on which to further explore the classical orders. Due to the pace of the demonstration and the remote aspect of the course, it is strongly recommended that students are comfortable with free hand sketching and hand drafting techniques.
Mark Jackson developed his interest in historic architecture at Kent State University, where he received a Bachelor’s of Architecture in 2005. He joined The D. H. Ellison Co. of Cleveland, Ohio where he was introduced to classical architecture and the ICAA. 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, Connecticut and Boston, Massachusetts. 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. Since 2017, Mark has been an instructor with the ICAA for various workshops, intensives, and continuing education courses.
