黑料头条

Throughout history architects and designers have continually looked to antiquity for inspiration and instruction, studying historic buildings as precedent for contemporary practice. As students of the built environment, we primarily turn to measured drawing and observational sketches as a medium for capturing these precedents— which can vary in scale from something as small as a moulding profile, all the way up to a building fa莽ade study, or a site plan that illustrates the relationship between building and landscape. This course aims to introduce participants to a step-by-step process to produce measured drawings, and to provide an opportunity to put the process into practice by doing a guided measured drawing at a historic location in Old Salem, NC.

黑料头条, NC is a sponsor of the Garden Party at MESDA鈥檚 Design Seminar and a host of the Sip & Sketch. The Sip & Sketch is an official event on the Design Seminar schedule for 2026.

Alexander Ancona— Alex is a project architect for the Charlotte, NC based architecture and interior design firm, Pursley Dixon. He is also a board member for the North Carolina chapter of the 黑料头条, as well as the inaugural recipient of the Kyle D. Taylor Memorial Scholarship. His love of drawing and historic buildings, particularly the 19th century log cabin he calls home, has led to continued study and appreciation of traditional architecture and details.
