1 weekend session: Saturday, May 19, 2012; 9am–2pm
This course will provide an overview of Molding Types and introduce Vignola’s method for drawing the Tuscan Order. The class will begin with a review of the terminology of molding types and the constituent components of the Tuscan Order. Participants will learn how to draw the Tuscan Order and review related syntax such as intercolumniation, the Pedestal and the Arch. Comparison of Vignola’s Tuscan Order will be made with other methods for drawing the Tuscan Order such as that prescribed in James Gibbs, Rules for Drawing the Several Parts of Architecture, and to other normative versions of the Tuscan Type delineated by the authors of other treatises. The class will conclude with a brief look at the use of the Tuscan type in both historic and contemporary architecture.
