Wednesdays, April 7, 14, 21; 2:00 – 3:15 pm; Saturday, April 24; Walking Tour at 2:00 pm
The ICA&CA will again present its popular Architectural and Visual Literacy course on three consecutive Wednesday afternoons this spring in our 20 West 44th Street classroom, culminating with a Saturday afternoon walking tour. The series consists of a broad and lively summary overview of the history of architecture with particular focus on its classical underpinnings and their reinterpretation as part of the Western cultural tradition. The evidence of this tradition in New York’s built environment allows for contemporary illustration and is cited with due gusto. In this cycle, the series is held in partnership with The Burden Center. The spring 2010 edition of this course will be presented by Calder Loth, Andy Taylor, and Francis Morrone and will be held at 20 West 44th Street, Suite 310.
April 7 at 2:00pm with Calder Loth, former Director of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.
April 14 at 2:00pm with Andy Taylor, AJ.T Architect, PC.
April 21 at 2:00pm with Francis Morrone, Architectural Historian Author, Journalist, and Scholar.
Walking Tour, Saturday, April 24 at 2:00 pm. Participants will meet rain or shine at the Sherman monument in Grand Army Plaza, Fifth Avenue at 59th Street. The tour (rain or shine) will last approximately two hours.
