118 — How to be a Beaux-Arts Architect

About Buildings + Cities - A podcast by Luke Jones & George Gingell Discuss Architecture, History and Culture

Categories:

In this episode we discussed The Study of Architectural Design (1926) by John F. Harbeson, a remarkable guide to the Beaux-Arts method of architectural education, with its many idiosyncratic terms of art and the astonishing drawings produced as part of its relentless programme of competition exercises. Do you know your Parti from your Poché? Do you know your way around a Class A? Does Mosaic leave you baffled? Look no further for a guide to all things Beaux Arts.
