This two-day course begins with a comprehensive introduction to the vocabulary of classical and traditional design with special emphasis on the orders, describing the concepts, history, and precise language used both past and present. Students will learn to identify the Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite orders, as well as explore the relationship between the Greek and Roman orders. Following this visual introduction to the vocabulary of architecture, the subsequent session delves further into each order, its proportions, and its use in architectural structures. The course offers students greater understanding and appreciation of classical architecture, as well as a foundation to maximize learning potential in other classes.
