learn traditional drafting by hand with the ICAA

This course engages the student in the practice of traditional architectural drafting. Many students have little or no knowledge of traditional drafting via manual and pencil technique due to the preponderance of drafting now done via machines (CAD)-and, for students in earlier decades, technical pens. Students embark on exercises to establish the basic skills that allow them to communicate their ideas clearly and cleanly, focusing on the ability to draw a line that is straight, unvarying in width, evenly dark, sharp. Achieving this sounds simple, but it is not-and it is worth the effort, for it is the foundation of a good drawing

Instructor: Seth Weine, Architectural Designer, ICAA Fellow
Location: ICAA, 20 West 44th Street, 3rd Floor, New York, NY
Cost/Learning Unit: $300 (250 Members); 12.5 AIA/CES LUs

5 sessions: Mondays and Wednesdays, November 14 – 30 (except Nov. 23); 6:30–9:00 pm
