1.5 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective and 1.5 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Elective)
A visit to Prospect Park affords one the opportunity to experience naturalistic or romantic landscapes which appear to be far removed from the city. Primitive log shelters and bridges constructed of boulders complement bucolic woodland and lakeside settings. At the same time, the park employs classical structures and formal gardens to mediate between nature and the city. These two realms, the classical and the romantic, will be the focus of this 90-minute walking tour around the lake in Prospect Park.In the course of our tour, we will observe notable buildings and landscapes and learn about the history of the park’s creation. There will be opportunities for participants to make quick sketches of the tour highlights. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and offer their own observations on landscape and architectural elements from the walk.There are no pre-requisites for this course. The class is suitable for both seasoned architects and those with no architectural training.
Participants may choose to bring a sketchbook, pencils, and an eraser for sketching.
