Learn How to Draw Classical Architecture at the CPI

What we widely understand by Classical Architecture is the result of a process that was initiated in Ancient Greece, continued by Ancient Rome, refined in Italy and Western Europe during 15th and 16th Centuries, exported over the world and rethought and redeveloped since then until the present. Classical Architecture is one of the most important architectural features created by Europe and one of the most beautiful architectural legacies of Humankind.

Classical Architecture is an ideal of harmonic life that brings a conceptual order over the chaos and creates places of beauty and calm where the human being can thrive. Most of our cities have strong links to classical architecture, making them part of our heritage and should be preserved as exemplars and references of beauty beyond other mundane considerations.

Orders play an essential Role in Classical Architecture and determine the character of a building. Learn with us about them and how to draw and design beautiful classical architecture.
