45 AIA CES LUs and 45 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture
The 8-day drawing and painting program in Paris is based on the successful ICAA Rome Drawing Tour program and the 2016/17/18 Paris Tours. Its purpose is to expand the knowledge of American architects, designers, and practitioners in French traditional and neoclassical architecture, interiors, and landscape, and in the artisanal building traditions still practiced in France today through centuries-old guilds for the art and craft of building, and their relevance and impact on American architecture.The course is centered on exploring both the 18th- through the early 20th-century architecture of Paris and its environs, and its direct influences on American architecture. The city of Paris offers a rich environment where 19th-century discourse debated the merits of classical and Gothic styles of architecture. Both have been significant historical sources of inspiration for American architects and designers, dating back to Thomas Jefferson’s diplomatic residency in France in the late 18th century through the 19th and 20th centuries when American architects attended L’école des Beaux-Arts. Starting with the Place des Vosges under Henri IV, the course traces the development of French architecture through Gabriel’s works at Versailles, to the 19th-century works of Beaux-Arts architect Henri Labrouste and Neo-Gothic architect Eugene Viollet-Le-Duc, as well as early 20th-century works.A current draft itinerary for the 2019 Christopher H. Browne Paris Drawing Tour is available here. Please note that the schedule and locations are subject to change.Professional registration for this tour is currently sold out, but scholarship spaces are still available. Scholarship applications are due August 30th; please see below for more information.
