Hosted by the ICAA Southeast Chapter | 5 AIA CES Learning Units (Elective) | 5 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Measured Drawing)
Since the Renaissance, architects have sketched and measured all facets of architecture in portable bound books. Architects have used the sketchbook to record historical artifacts in both pictorial representation, three-dimension sketches, and carefully measured drawings drawn to scale.
This course will introduce the student to a method of sketchbook drawing that is focused on accurately measured drawings of accessible architectural details, drawn-to-scale in a sketchbook. This course will emphasize analytical orthographic drawings of plan, section, elevation, and profile. Subject matter for measuring and drawing can range from large-scale urban elements, such as squares, streets, street sections, courtyards, gardens, etc., to small details such as doorways, windows, stairs, ornamental stone carving, column capitals and bases, mouldings, ironwork, millwork, paving, etc.
The course is intended for both students and seasoned architects, as drawings can be tailored to the individual’s experience level.
This class will have two parts: Part I – Introduction Lecture – The Architects Measured SketchbookApril 26, 2024 via ZoomClay Rokicki will give a brief introduction to the history of measured field drawings as done by architects’ past and present as well as a step-by-step methodology of how to set up a field drawing.
