Architectural Literacy for Everybody

Subtitled, "What You've Wondered about Classical Architecture but Were Afraid to Ask."
An Illustrated Talk by Calder Loth (Senior Architectural Historian at the Division Historic Resources)
15 November 2008
9:30 am (a series of four lectures, with lunch at noon, and a wine and cheese reception at 3pm)

Abstract: Discover the fascination of the architecture we see around us every day. The Tusculum Institute of Sweet Briar College and the Virginia Department of Historic Resources will jointly present an introductory course on Classical Architecture. In four extensively illustrated lectures, Calder Loth will discuss the essence of the classical language of architecture and show how it has enriched our cultural landscape. The course is intended for those who know little about architecture but love buildings and want to learn how to "read" their rich details.
