The talk will include the intellectual and artistic history of the city in relation to architecture from its inception to the time of the library’s completion. The ideas behind the planning, technical systems, and ornamental construction will also be discussed in detail. 2012-01-14 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/southeast Please join us for a lecture illustrating the work of Leila Ross Wilburn, Georgia’s second woman architect. Ms. Wilburn believed that the design and construction of a home should not only be for those who could afford an architect. Her career, which spanned from 1909 until her death in 1967, allowed her to develop a series of architectural plan books that have impacted the style and character of some of Atlanta’s most desirable in-town neighborhoods including: Ansley Park, Inman Park, Druid Hills, Decatur, and Eastlake, to name a few. The lecture will also discuss historical architectural publications, which preceded the plan book phenomenon. Seven of her plan books along with other period specific publications will be on display for review before and after the presentation. After the lecture, stay for a neighborhood and home tour to see examples of her work up close in Decatur’s MAK district. 2012-01-12 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/utah JANUARY 28, 2012 2011-12-31 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/ohio-and-erie TBD 2011-12-14 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/texas Please join the Texas Chapter of the ICAA for a viewing of the masterworks of past Gabriel Prize winners followed by a lecture with 2007 Laureate, Joyce Rosner.

This presentation will examine Sacred Architecture and its application to modern times. Based on his 35-year immersion in the field of sacred symbolism, Bart Mendel will discuss the notion of sacredness through the lens of eastern and western architectural traditions. The talk will focus on the creation of harmony in design, presented through the ancient oriental tenet of the hierarchy of heaven, earth and man. Through understanding these concepts we create the proper relationship between humans and their environment, bringing together and balancing inspiration and practicality. 2011-09-28 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/new-england Nowadays, when a high profile structure is required, it is unusual that the conceptual design is done by a structural engineer—some sort of designer, who is ignorant of the basic principles of structural behavior, sees to this. Later the structural engineer, acting as a scullion, is wheeled in to pick up the pieces, all the while bleating about the technical challenges that are being overcome. 2011-09-24 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/charleston The Charleston Chapter of the ICAA presents Designing the Classical Interior, a course with James S. Collins, Architect. The morning session of the course will introduce the fundamental philosophy and elements of classical architecture and their interiors. It will focus on the application of design principles that are common to the great buildings and interiors of the past. Topics will include learning the appropriate use and configuration of columns, cornices, chimney pieces, windows, and doors. The elements, proportional systems, and composition of interior spaces and their details will be presented using slides; measured drawings of buildings and interiors; and handouts taken from rare books that craftspeople have used for centuries to aid them in designing timeless interiors. 2011-09-24 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/ohio-and-erie With a Special Lecture and Tour of the Exhibit by noted architectural historian and critic Calder Loth.

It was created for pure visual delight, to establish scale, to strengthen the structure, to tell a story, and to record history. The traditions are complex, rich and varied. This lecture will discuss the history of ornament in architecture, from the most primitive structures to the great styles of both the Eastern and Western world. 2011-09-10 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/tennessee On Saturday, September 10, the Tennessee Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art will once again host a tour of private homes in Springfield, TN.

At the end of the day, students will have completed exercises in both one-point and two-point perspective; placing architecture and landscaping in pictorial space. They will have an understanding of the fact that linear perspective is important for all artists, regardless of their medium or subject matter, as the concept has remodeled the way artists comprehend and incorporate spatial depth in their work. 2011-07-14 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/southern-california Join the Southern California chapter at the Annenberg Community Beach House for a talk by noted author and Los Angeles Times contributor Sam Watters.

Constructed entirely of stone, brick, tile, and mortar, the Shrine is without structural steel beams, framework, or columns. It is a blending of techniques both ancient and new—a mingling of architecture and symbol. The National Shrine is, as architects Maginnis and Walsh of Boston stated, “Distinctively American.” Since 1920, the Shrine has been a work-in-progress. Elevated to the status of minor basilica in 1990 by Blessed Pope John Paul II, the National Shrine welcomes millions of pilgrims a year. 2011-07-10 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/chicago-midwest Tour 2 – West La Follette & Columbus Park Two of Chicago’s celebrated revival style field houses 2011-07-09 http://www.classicist.org/membership-and-chapters/chapters/rocky-mountain Denver is home to beautiful, but often overlooked, classical architecture.  This course will take place on two consecutive Saturday mornings in two of Denver’s most beautiful park settings:  Civic Center Park and Riverside Cemetery, respectively.  Each location is well known locally for its wonderful classical monuments. The overall goal of the course is to teach drawing as a way of seeing. Material requirements are simple; nothing more than a pencil and sketchbook are necessary. Instructor Cameron Kruger will work with each student individually as he or she works with two assignments per meeting.  There will be group discussions at the beginning and end of each class session to introduce the sketch problems and to provide an opportunity for sharing results among the students.
