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.

Take a journey to this one-of-a-kind house in the latest installment in the ICAA's original series, In Your Neighborhood, which in this case includes aerial footage and a deep exploration of the details of this home's proportions, construction methods, and historical significance.

Lead Sponsor of the In Your Neighborhood series: AE Greyson

This lecture is presented as part of The Françoise and Andrew Skurman Lecture Series on Classical French Architecture.

Our mini-series "At Home" is a vicarious look at today's creatives. These are their stories of what it's like to live as a designer. You can follow the "At Home" mini-series with a special photo log at classicist.org.

In 2018, Los Angeles-based artist and architect Stephanie Jazmines, winner of that year's Rieger Graham Prize, shared her experiences from her three-month Classical Design Fellowship at the American Academy in Rome, the premier American overseas center for independent study and research in the fine arts and humanities.

Join her on a deep exploration of the classical mouldings of Rome, including a careful examination of their variations over time, and the complex ways in which they reflect the inventiveness of their creators. Along the way, Stephanie enjoyed the opportunity to hone her observational drawing skills, and even to create portraits of those in her community, displayed at the Academy bar.

Please join the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) for a virtual lecture on Wednesday, October 15th with Arne Maynard.

Arne Maynard is known for his love of plants and uses them to create year-round structure in his garden designs. Pleached fruit creates a wonderful boundary feature, topiary adds drama and geometry and sculpted earthworks provide texture and layers that can be clipped or left to meadow, depending on the season. In this online lecture, delivered live by Arne from Allt y bela, his home in Wales, UK, he will explain how he creates planted structure, talking us through some of his signature plants and explaining how he uses them in his designs. Using photographs and short films from his own garden and some private gardens he has designed that are rarely seen by the public, this lecture will give viewers a personal insight into Arne’s love of plants.

NOTE: This event is free and open to ICAA Members exclusively. Advance registration is required to receive the link to the webinar platform.
