This three-hour lecture is a primer on the language and rationale of classical architecture. The course provides an overview of the core reference literature on classical architecture, exposure to the basic rules, measurements, and proportions used in the classical architectural language, and an introduction to the canon of the Orders of Architecture. The course concludes with an exploration of the enduring appeal of classical architecture, helping the student to discover reasons to employ the language in their work, and to answer the question, "Why classicism?"
