In 2022, the ICAA, INTBAU, and the Prince’s Foundation were pleased to continue their collaboration with The Architecture of Place: In Conversation with..., a series of interviews featuring three architects from different backgrounds and points of view: Mohamad Hamouié, Whitley Esteban, and Elsie Owusu.

In this third iteration of the series, Whitley Esteban interviewed Elsie Owusu about her work, background, and design perspective. A student from the University of Edinburgh also made a special appearance and provided guest questions for the interviewee.

As an Architect and Specialist Conservation Architect, interior and urban designer, Elsie Owusu has a wide expertise in transport and infrastructure, as well as the issues facing emerging economies. Passionate about contemporary architecture and city planning, she is particularly fascinated by their relationship to the arts in general, and the specific work of individual artists.

The ICAA would like to thank our Lead Sponsor for Continuing Education courses: Uberto Construction.

On February 7, 2023, the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) was proud to present the Second Annual Michael Lykoudis Lecture: The Shared Building Traditions of the World, featuring Marieanne Khoury-Vogt, Co-Principal with Erik Vogt of Khoury Vogt Architects. Her lecture, Style & Substance: Designing a New Urbanist Town in the 21st Century, originally open to ICAA Members only during its live stream, is now available to watch online in its entirety.

Marieanne is primarily known for her work as an architect and urban designer with the town of Alys Beach, Florida. The practice, currently based in Alys Beach, FL., engages projects of a variety of scales, programs, and locales. Each is linked by a common purpose: to contribute to, and elaborate a worthwhile and memorable public realm. This is pursued through a firm grounding in local architectural traditions as well as the deployment and transformation of durable building types.

Named in recognition of Michael Lykoudis’ incredible contributions as the former Dean of the University of Notre Dame’s School of Architecture, this series shines a light on the vernacular architecture intrinsic to locales around the world, and how they incorporate classical principles.

In 2015, the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA) and Marymount School of New York launched New Heights, a weeklong program to introduce eighth-grade students to the practice and appreciation of architecture. One of the goals of the program was to inspire students to consider architecture and design as career paths. Since then, thousands of students have attended the program, and the program has also expanded to other schools.

In 2023, the ICAA followed up with a Marymount student who first discovered her passion for architecture through the New Heights program. Caroline was an eighth-grader at Marymount when she was introduced to the world of architecture and design, and her interest in the field quickly grew. Now in her senior year of high school, Caroline recently attended the ICAA's New York Intensive in Classical Architecture in preparation for studying classical architecture in college. In this recent interview, Caroline reflected on how she first encountered the study of architecture through New Heights, and how she is "beyond excited" to continue her studies in college.
