- Architect George Saumarez Smith presents a new consideration of the classical orders.

About the Course:
The orders have long embodied allegory and meaning, but recent discussion has tended to focus mainly on their physical appearance. In this talk, architect George Saumarez Smith proposes an alternative way of considering the orders that encourages them to be seen as vessels of memory rather than simply as decorative devices. The course will cover the orders from their origins to new and theoretical uses in contemporary construction.
About the Instructor:
George Saumarez Smith is one of the leading classical architects of his generation. George’s work has ranged in scale from new country houses and garden buildings to large housing schemes. Much of his inspiration comes from the appreciation and study of historic buildings, combined with a keen interest in the continued use of the techniques of classical design handed down through history. George has written several books on architecture and regularly teaches classicism at schools across Europe and North America. He is also known for producing large scale drawings, a selection of which formed the basis of the exhibition ‘Measure, Draw, Build’, held at the RIBA in October 2017.

I really enjoyed this talk, thanks for publishing it @ICAA
An excellent talk. Thank you sir.
how can someone not be CRAZY over this. Just love this channel
The orders as classical landscape is a brilliant take.
This is gold
Fantastic!
What is the difference between fillets, taenia and fascia?
*Where's the Davidic order*
The what?
I can think of solomonic columns, but I have never heard of a davidic order.
Interesting that you associated the *Orders* to god's
Yet no one discussed the temple of the city of *Petra* in the Jordan area
Surely this architectural style was the first order
By the humongous scale this was not made for the average man
Giants (god's of old) built and occupied it
Yet all orders are a result of this style
What say you 🤔
The theme of "Sex/Vice" along a feminine personification for the composite order could be badly received in this day and age. I suggest to reframe its theme as "Opulence".
Let them get offended
I agree. It makes no sense for people be so sensitive to something so trivial. Why have we become like you have to walk on egshells when we talk to each other. These times can make us be so stupid in some things.
What a load of tosh
