At the 22nd Annual McKim Lecture, presented on March 8, 2023, the ICAA was honored to welcome Melissa DelVecchio, partner and director of research at Robert A.M. Stern Architects, as distinguished speaker, to speak about the architectural significance—past, present, and future—of Yale University. Yale University is notable among American campuses for its bold mix of contemporary and traditional architecture—individualistic buildings by leading modernist architects are at once framed and complemented by an impressive array of traditional buildings, old and new.
Discussing her work on Pauli Murray and Benjamin Franklin Colleges, and the recently completed Yale Schwarzman Center, Melissa highlighted Yale’s architectural history and the institution’s dedication to creating a campus that responds to changing times and yet retains an unmistakable and well-defined sense of place—a strategy that enhances the staying power of modernist icons and traditionally inspired buildings alike.

Premiering nationally on PBS-affiliated stations on December 1, 2023
Award-winning architect Gil Schafer is one of the nation’s leading practitioners of contemporary classical architecture. A fixture on Architectural Digest’s AD100 and a winner of Veranda’s “Art of Design Award,” Schafer and his firm’s work have been widely recognized around the country with design awards and featured in numerous national and international publications, including Architectural Digest, Elle Décor, Veranda, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, British House & Garden, and The Financial Times.
In Unlocking the Mysteries of Place, Gil Schafer describes the ways he draws upon the power of memory to create extraordinary homes. In this portrayal of a master at the height of his craft, he leads viewers from his firm’s renovated design studio in Manhattan, to a Hudson Valley home inspired by English estates, and to a summer house on the shores of Lake Champlain. Influenced by the elegance and charm of classical and vernacular American architecture, and considerate of the needs of contemporary living, Gil reflects on his design process and the particular qualities that define an unforgettable place.

In June 2023 the Southeast Chapter of the ICAA, in collaboration with the North Carolina Chapter, hosted the ICAA Southeast Bunny Mellon Garden Symposium - An Exploration of Southeastern Landscapes: Mountains to Prairies. Designers, students, and enthusiasts gathered for a three-day conference in Lake Toxaway, North Carolina, enjoying tours and lectures by preeminent experts in garden and landscape design.
The Symposium's first lecture was presented by Robert Balentine, who introduced the guests to the Southern Highlands Reserve, the nonprofit organization he founded with his wife Betty Balentine. Located in western North Carolina at an elevation of 4,500 feet, the Southern Highlands Reserve is a woodland garden that protects a unique ecosystem of the Blue Ridge Mountains through the preservation, cultivation, and display of plants native to the region and by advocating for their value through education, restoration, and research. In his lecture, Robert offers a brief history of the region's flora and fauna, and then presents a behind-the-scenes look at how the Reserve is working to protect these species today.
Presented as part of the Bunny Mellon Curricula at the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art. The ICAA is very grateful to the Gerard B. Lambert Foundation for its generous support of this program, along with the Bunny Mellon Curricula
