ABOUT THE INSTITUTE OF CLASSICAL ARCHITECTURE AND CLASSICAL AMERICA
The Institute of Classical Architecture and
Classical America (ICA&CA) works to advance the appreciation and practice of the
classical tradition in architecture and in related arts. It is a non-profit
organization, based in New York City, USA.
A notable feature of the ICA&CA website is its
Handbook of Classical Architecture. This is downloadable free online, in HTML
and PDF formats. It is a comprehensive reference resource for the elements of
classical architecture, covering Moldings, the Orders, and Proportion. The
section on the Orders covers Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite
Orders. In each case there are detailed drawings of the capital and base, the
pediment, and the volute. The section on Proportion covers linear proportion,
case studies, geometric proportion, rectangle spectrum, reciprocal and gnomon,
Phi rectangle, Mu rectangle, and bibliography.
Other sections of the ICA&CA website cover: travel programs, publications, academic programs, public programs, online resources, news, bulletin board, and calendar of events.
