L'architecture De Claude-Nicolas Ledoux 1804 Une Édition Annotée

Published in 1804, two years before the death of the architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736 - 1806), L'Architecture considérée sous le rapport de l'art, des mœurs et de la législation is one of the most fascinating texts on modern European architecture. Ledoux worked for thirty years on its illustration (nearly 500 plates, including 125 published in 1804) and for almost ten years on the 240 pages of text.

This first critical and annotated edition of Ledoux's original work, with an introduction and a wealth of notes and glossaries, makes it possible to discover or rediscover this poetic, philosophical and artistic text from the turn of the Enlightenment.
