Constructive Geometry with Steve Bass

Constructive Geometry with Steve Bass

4 credits towards the Certificate in Classical Architecture (Proportion) | Submitted for AIA CES Approval

 

In the canonical works of classical architecture, the elements are described in geometrical terms. This workshop course reviews the basic definitions of 2-dimensional Euclidean geometry and presents constructions of lines, regular polygons, conic sections and spirals. These lead up to constructions of architectural elements, including molding profiles and volutes. Each construction will be demonstrated live in step-by-step manner. Participants should come prepared to repeat these constructions in their own notes.

Required Materials

Participants should bring a bow compass, straight edge and/or drafting triangles (30/60º and 45º), paper or notebook (8.5 x 11″ or 11 x 17″), and a pen or pencil.
