About
Last herald of French architecture, Jacques-François Blondel (1708/9-1774) trained in his private school and at the Royal Academy of Architecture in Paris several of the most renowned architects of the second half of the 18th century and the beginning of the following century: Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, Étienne-Louis Boullée, Alexandre Brongniart or William Chambers? The revolutionary pedagogy that he developed in the teaching of architecture throughout his career has been widely disseminated in France, Europe and even across the Atlantic, as far as Quebec. If some architects applied it to the letter, others freed themselves from it beyond the lessons taught by the master. Fruit of the research of specialists of the Enlightenment - art historians, theorists of architecture and archivists curators of the heritage -, this work proposes to return to the ideas as well as the teaching methods dispensed by Jacques-François Blondel, and to reread, through a new prism, the fundamentals of his teaching Dernier héraut de l'architecture à la française, Jacques-François Blondel (1708/9-1774) a formé dans son école privée et à l'Académie royale d'architecture de Paris plusieurs des architectes les plus renommés de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle et du début du siècle suivant : Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, Étienne-Louis Boullée, Alexandre Brongniart ou William Chambers? La pédagogie révolutionnaire qu'il développa dans l'enseignement de l'architecture tout au long de sa carrière a connu une ample diffusion en France, en Europe et même outre-Atlantique, jusqu'au Québec. Si certains architectes l'appliquèrent à la lettre, d'autres s'en affranchirent au-delà des leçons professées par le maître. Fruit de la recherche de spécialistes des Lumières - historiens de l'art, théoriciens de l'architecture et archivistes conservateurs du patrimoine -, cet ouvrage se propose de revenir sur les idées ainsi que les méthodes pédagogiques dispensées par Jacques-François Blondel, et de relire, au travers d'un prisme neuf, les fondamentaux de son enseignement
