Hosted by the ICAA Southern California Chapter | 5 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Doric Order) | 5 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective
Please join us for an immersive class on the Doric Order. David Rinehart will lead attendees through a five hour hands-on drawing course, which covers the third subject in the Introduction to the Elements of Classical Architecture sequence - the nomenclature, grammar, and proportional relationships of the canonical Doric order. The course introduces the terminology and proportional relationships of the order through freehand drawing of a Doric column and entablature. This introduction forms part of a foundation for understanding all of the classical orders from the practitioner’s perspective, and lays the groundwork for exploring their use within an architectural composition.
David Rinehart is an architect at Ruard Veltman Architecture + Interiors in Los Angeles. Prior to joining RVAI, Mr. Rinehart worked at Moule & Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists, in Pasadena, CA, and Robert A.M. Stern Architects in New York. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Notre Dame and a Master of Environmental Design degree in the History, Theory, and Criticism of Architecture and Urbanism from Yale University, where he was awarded a Beinecke Rare Books & Manuscript Library Fellowship and served as a curatorial assistant for the Yale School of Architecture. Mr. Rinehart is a registered architect in the State of New York, a member of the Society of Architectural Historians, and a Fellow of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, where he has served as an Instructor since 2015.
