The 2026 ICAA Intensive in Classical Architecture: Newport
The ICAA New England Chapter, in collaboration with the ICAA National Office, is pleased to host a Regional Intensive this summer in Newport, Rhode Island. Thank you to the ICAA New England Chapter for their generous support of this program.
Among the ICAA’s most impactful and enduring education models is its Intensive program in Classical Architecture – an eight-day course of study that introduces participants to the ICAA’s core curriculum through coursework in the classical orders, composition, proportion, drafting, observational drawing, and the literature of classical architecture.
Participants learn how to draw, render, and compose with the classical language to form an understanding of the basic theoretical tenets on which the classical tradition is founded. Instruction is provided by professionals and educators active in the field of classical design. Classroom hours are balanced between studio work, lectures, and guided tours and visits. The week culminates in a studio project in which students use the classical canon in the design of a small building. Students are guided through a design process rooted in the Beaux-Arts system in which an initial parti is developed during an esquisse and a charrette into a finished design proposal. The program concludes with a review by an esteemed panel of architects.
The Intensive program also satisfies the core course requirements for the ICAA’s Certificate in Classical Architecture.
Please note that in addition to the programming offered July 25 - August 1, there will be an optional Hand Drafting session held on Friday, July 24. This session is for those participants who have limited hand drafting experience, or who would like a refresher on hand drafting skills prior to the main program. There is no additional cost for attending the Hand Drafting session. If you are interested in attending this session, please email education@classicist.org when you sign up for the Intensive program.
