The faculty consists of highly talented, deeply experienced practitioners of Traditional and Classical Architecture. Faculty come from and are familiar with the architecture of the Washington DC Metropolitan region and are able to understand, tap into, and teach about our nations’ architectural heritage. The proximity of the school to the Washington DC region, also makes available a robust resource of successful practicing architects that are called on to engage with the design studios to offer rich lessons about the modern practice of traditional/classical architecture, from a variety of viewpoints.
