No matter where you are, the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) offers courses, lectures, articles, and more, available at any time at classicist.org.

Classicism at Home offers a weekly opportunity to turn your thoughts to things both historic and contemporary, academic and entertaining, and aesthetic and rigorous through the ICAA's ongoing online content.

The following lectures were presented as part of the Driehaus Summer Studio Retrospective—four weeks of daily online content inspired by the ICAA's Summer Studio in Classical Architecture program.

The orders have long embodied allegory and meaning, but recent discussion has tended to focus mainly on their physical appearance. In a talk originally given as part of the Driehaus Summer Studio Retrospective, architect George Saumarez Smith proposes an alternative way of considering the orders that encourages them to be seen as vessels of memory rather than simply as decorative devices. This course, now available to watch online in its entirety, covers the orders from their origins to new and theoretical uses in contemporary construction.

The ICAA's seminar series Case Studies in New Classical & Traditional Design explores the design and execution of new work from the practitioner’s perspective. The series aims to explore solutions to contemporary design challenges, foster critical discussion of recent work, and demystify the complexities of how unique projects come together.

On May 19th, 2020, the ICAA presented this special panel discussion only to ICAA Members. The recording has now been made available here for the enjoyment of the general public. If you would like to become a member or to renew your membership, please visit our website.

In 2018, architect Thomas A. Kligerman reflected on life and work as a scholar at the American Academy in Rome, the premier American overseas center for independent study and research in the fine arts and humanities. Tom was a Visiting Scholar at the American Academy in 2017, and this essay was the second in a three-part series that also explores Rome itself among other destinations in Italy, further afield.

The ICAA is pleased to offer the Alma Schapiro Prize, which alternates years with the Rieger Graham Prize. The Alma Schapiro Prize is to advance the career of an artist recipient and to foster the continuity of knowledge of the classical tradition as a vital aspect of contemporary culture around the globe.

The centerpiece of the prize is a three-month affiliated fellowship at the American Academy in Rome, the premier American overseas center for independent study and research in the fine arts and humanities. The total award will include Academy fees, travel allotment and award stipend. The proposed three-month stay must begin between September of the prize year and May of the following year.

Pen & Ink Architecture Meets the Virtual World: Exploring Digital Advances in Design, with Peter Pennoyer Architects

Although it may be unexpected that a classically-inspired architecture firm could also be an early adopter of technology, Peter Pennoyer Architects believes that classicists are well-positioned to lead the architecture field into the future. While hand-drawing is still a cornerstone of their work, Peter Pennoyer Architects is passionate about using digital tools to advance their work. One of the first residential firms to get a 3D printer in-house and to hire a dedicated 3D Print Technician nearly 10 years ago, they have continually invested in the latest technology, including Virtual Reality, BIM, and 3D Printing.

In the second entry of our mini-series 20 Questions, listen in on a frank and entertaining conversation between three architects and two "laypeople," as each group asks what they have always wanted to know about the professions of their counterparts. Architects and show hosts Kellen Krause, Anthony Catania, and Rodrigo Bollat Montenegro are joined by Jeanz Holt, an attorney, and Rich McGovern, who works in digital media in New York City. Although all five of our contributors are enthusiastic about architecture - Jeanz and Rich even worked previously for the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art - find out what the enthusiasts have always wanted to know about the professionals, and how the architects think of the "laypeople" who live and work in the buildings they design.
