DESCRIPTION OF CORE SUBJECT AREA The core subject area of the Literature and Theory of Classical Architecture curriculum is a presentation of, and engagement with, the major texts of architectural literature and theory. Theoretical concepts will be examined both through written and illustrated publications and corresponding paradigmatic buildings that are regarded as architectural masterpieces. Architecture, in the Classical tradition, has been perpetuated and propagated largely through the influence of written and illustrated publications; the trajectory of architectural literature and theory is charted through the development of seminal works, both written and built, that provide a living legacy of the Classical tradition. This curriculum provides a student with a historical context to compare and contrast the Classical tradition with current architectural theory and practice. As such, while the historical context and importance of each text is considered, the focus will be the theoretical and practical information provided, its application to architectural design in the Classical tradition, and how literature and theory can nurture the development of future architectural masterpieces. II. LEARNING OBJECTIVES • To introduce the essential texts, as ideas and images, and architectural theory of the Classical tradition as it has historically developed and its influence on contemporary architectural practice. • To present the major monuments of the Classical tradition in relation to seminal texts of architectural theory. III. LEARNING OUTCOMES • To become familiar with the major texts and masterpieces of the Classical tradition. • To recognize and engage the fundamental design principles of the Classical tradition as explored in the seminal works of architectural literature and theory. • To understand how the theoretical concepts of the Classical tradition have been physically manifested in paradigmatic buildings throughout history. 20 West 44th Street, New York, NY 10036 17 (212) 730-9646 telephone (212) 730-9649 facsimile [email protected] email www.classicist.org T H E I N S T I T U T E O F C L A SSI C A L A R C H I T E C T U R E & A R T N A T I ONA L C O R E C U R R I C U L U M • To develop critical thinking regarding the history of architectural literature and theory of the Classical tradition, applying its concepts to architectural design and engaging the broader context of the contemporary built environment.
