25 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective and 25 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture
The 4-day drawing program in Williamsburg is designed as part of an expansion to the Drawing Tours of Rome and Paris. The overall goal of the program is for architects and designers to study in detail, through a variety of drawing techniques, the unique and architecturally rich environs of Williamsburg, Virginia, which serves as a laboratory of American 18th-20th century classical and traditional architecture. The course will begin with an analysis of the urbanism of Williamsburg, along with significant public buildings such as the Capital, Palace, Courthouse, and Market Hall. Significant James River Plantation houses will be studied as well as Williamsburg town houses, outbuildings, and gardens. Traditional and classical buildings recently built by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and architects such as Quinlan Terry will also be explored. Guest lecturers will discuss the history of Williamsburg architecture, including original colonial buildings and reconstructions starting in the 1920’s and continuing today.
A current itinerary for the 2019 Christopher H. Browne Colonial Williamsburg Drawing Tour is available here. Please note that the schedule and locations are subject to change.The ICAA would like to thank Charlotte Moss and Harrison Design for generously supporting the 2019 Christopher H. Browne Colonial Williamsburg Drawing Tour.
