New York lecture on Beaux-Arts classical architecture.

Another great opportunity presented by the Institute of Classical Architecture and Classical America is a lecture on author John F. Harbeson by John Blatteau and Sandra L. Tatman.

The famous Beax-Arts system of architectural education developed and used in France is the subject of Harbeson’s classic book The Study of Architectural Design. “Until the 1940s, when supplanted by the advent of modernism, this method educated and trained every architect in America.”

Blatteau and Tatman wrote an introduction for its new re-print which is now available from W.W. Norton.

The lecture will be held Friday October 17th, at the General Society, 20 West 44th Street in New York at 7:00 pm. A reception and book signing will be held at 6:30.

Tanglewood Conservatories strongly supports the work of the ICA&CA.
