From cornices to quoins, material science to mortar chemistry, and every other factor that protects a building from water damage, their conversation covers a variety of topics for architects and designers who want to learn about designing better buildings, and reveals that those classical design details on older buildings are far more than just decorations.

On December 14th, 2021, the ICAA welcomed acclaimed interior designers Juan Montoya and Alexa Hampton for the 3rd Annual Mark Hampton Lecture, where they discussed the intersection of modernism and classicism in Juan's celebrated designs.

The Annual Mark Hampton Lecture honors the legacy of renowned designer Mark Hampton and celebrates the highest caliber of interior design in the classical tradition.

Juan Montoya is one of the most acclaimed and prolific interior designers in the world today. His firm specializes in residential and contract interior design, with projects located throughout the United States and Internationally.

Interior designer Lauren Hill welcomes listeners to her home in Ravenswood, a suburb of Chicago. Lauren shares the design choices she implemented to make her home comfortable and welcoming to guests, and discusses why she chose to create a series of separate spaces in her home, instead of using what she calls the "old-school" open floor plan that seems to dominate American suburbs. Homeowners and renters do not always have the means to completely overhaul their spaces, she says, so don't be afraid to mix and match different styles of furniture and artwork: "Eclectic is definitely just my style because of the pieces I've inherited and liked, and how my style has evolved over time."

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. Classicism in Conversation features discussions by architects, urbanists, city planners, designers, and craftspeople about the relevance of the classical tradition in today's modern world.
