and other locales throughout New England; workshops and classes, including a recurring partnership with the Boston Architectural College (BAC), where a number of ICAA New England board members (including Kostelecky and Daum) have taught semester-long classes; lectures from authors of classical architecture books; and other initiatives. Education remains the core of the ICAA New England chapter, whether in the form of a lecture, a skills workshop, or an event. And beginning in September, new ground will be broken: Thanks to a partnership among ICAA New England, its na- tional progenitor, and the BAC, a series of online continuing education classes in traditional design will be off red. Three six-week courses are off red to start—Introduction to Clas- sical Architecture, Understanding the Classical Orders & Moldings, and Geometry for the Practitioner—and credits can be applied toward the national ICAA's Certifica e of Classical Architecture. "This is a major component of our efforts to expand educational opportunities for students nationwide," Kostelecky says. It's important to note that the ICAA New England chap- ter's celebration of classicism doesn't translate to anti-Mod- ernism. Instead, Kostelecky says, it's a matter of Modern designers understanding the laws before breaking them. "It's like wearing brown shoes with a blue suit: If you do it out of ignorance, you're wrong," Kostelecky says. "But if you do it because you're making a statement, then it's okay." Along with cultivating a legion of savvy classical design- ers, the ICAA New England chapter honors the best among them at the Bulfinch Awards, its annual accolades devoted to the region's top traditional design projects across 11 94 Architecture ne Age-Old Lessons: Education is at the core of the ICAA New England chapter. 161 Essex Street | Salem, MA 978-745-9500 | pem.org It's more than a party It's an experience PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM G A L A & AU CT I O N Saturday, November 8, 2014 For tickets and a video sneak peek of the experience, visit pem.org/gala.
