Leading new urbanists are working together to create

Leading new urbanists are working together to create a new school of architecture that focuses on traditional architecture and design. The Institute of Traditional Architecture will be based on a formal apprenticeship system similar to the one used by the Beaux Arts School of Design in the 1920s. Two possible sites are being considered in Charleston, South Carolina, and Richmond, Virginia, both of which have offered facilities in move-in condition. Potential directors may include Leon Krier, Ray Gindroz, Andres Duany, and Richard John, former director of the Prince of Wales’ Foundation for Architecture.
