The Elements of Classical Architecture: Introduction to the Ionic Order with David Rinehart

Please join us for an introduction to the Ionic Order, led by ICAA Instructor David Rinehart. This practical hands-on drawing course covers the fourth subject in the Elements of Classical Architecture sequence – the nomenclature, grammar, and proportional relationships of the canonical Ionic order. The course introduces the order through freehand drawing of an Ionic column and entablature. This introduction forms part of a foundation for understanding all of the classical orders from the practitioner’s perspective and lays the groundwork for exploring their use in an architectural composition. An illustrated introduction to the order parallels step by step demonstration by the instructor in drawing the Ionic order. Participants construct drawings of the order in their sketchbook or on paper.

David Rinehart is an architect at Ruard Veltman Architecture + Interiors in Los Angeles. Prior to joining RVAI, Mr. Rinehart worked at Moule & Polyzoides, Architects and Urbanists, in Pasadena, CA, and Robert A.M. Stern Architects in New York. He holds a Bachelor of Architecture degree from the University of Notre Dame and a Master of Environmental Design degree in the History, Theory, and Criticism of Architecture and Urbanism from Yale University, where he was awarded a Beinecke Rare Books & Manuscript Library Fellowship and served as a curatorial assistant for the Yale School of Architecture. Mr. Rinehart is a registered architect in the State of New York, a member of the Society of Architectural Historians, and a Fellow of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, where he has served as an Instructor since 2015.
