Teaching Architecture at School Afloat
October and November of 2010 I spent to STS Pogoria, a 48 meter long, three mast barquentine, sailing around Mediterranean Sea as a School Afloat. I was assigned the position of a 3rd officer in charge of a watch numbering over 20 student sailors. My main responsibility however was to teach an introductory architecture course that included the studying of the three main architectural orders using examples of buildings in Rome, Pompeii, Malta, Corsica, Sardinia, Sicily, Malta and Genoa. I structured the course so the students would have a hands on experience of the architecture requiring them to draw the buildings we visited. In addition, I used an innovative method of research, by involving all 60 students in performances that required them to dress up as historical figures and participate in all night spectacles around in the vicinity of the studied historical venues and buildings.
