Classical Architecture Education:
Georgia Tech
The MSCD is a 30 elective credit graduate level concentration, providing advanced study for those pursuing career paths in classical and traditional architectural design and planning.
The MSCD program provides instruction in the language and use of classical and vernacular design and introduces a broad range of architectural and urban precedents and methodologies for adapting relevant historical models to contemporary exigencies.
The program equips participants with the theoretical and practical skill sets to become informed and judicious practitioners of traditional design and provides a framework of general processes and principles with which to adapt and evolve traditional architecture and urban patterns to modern programmatic requirements and client markets.
It aims to foster enduring design and planning strategies by introducing resources and skills with which to study and draw upon time-tested models for purposes of informing contemporary building applications. The program provides the critical tools through which our architectural and urban heritage may be intelligently engaged, evaluated and utilized to inspire modern building practices and design solutions that sustainably enhance, amend and repair the built environment for the long term.
