Hosted by the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½app Southeast Chapter | 3 Credits toward the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Mouldings) | 3 AIA CES Learning Units|Elective
A good place to begin study of the classical language of architecture is with an overview of the geometry and terminology of classical mouldings, the smallest classical parts. Mouldings may be thought of as the ‘a, b, c’s’ of classical architecture. The classical orders and related forms are composed of a combination of these smaller elements and are therefore better understood when one is versed in the grammar of the individual parts. Mouldings also represent, in minute form, some of the ideas that define classicism itself. Participants will learn how to distinguish major profile types and explore some of the guiding principles and theory involved in their design and application.
Participants of all backgrounds and skill levels are welcome. This program is especially recommended for anyone who wishes to attend other The Elements of Classical Architecture courses, which focus on drawing the classical orders.v
