Description



Book Synopsis



Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806) gilt heute als Hauptvertreter der französischen Revolutionsarchitektur. Sein vielgestaltiger Erfindungsreichtum griff die Architekturideale seiner Zeit auf und entwickelte daraus kühne Utopien.

Dieses Buch stellt Ledoux' Bauten und Projekte in ihrer ästhetischen wie historischen Bedeutung dar. An seinen Werken - die königlichen Salinen von Arc-et-Senans, das Zollgebäude von Paris, die Idealstadt von Chaux - zeigt sich, wie diese Architektur aus der Antike und der Renaissance schöpft, aber auch eine ganz eigene Formensprache findet.

Mit der Revolution war Ledoux' bauliches Schaffen beendet, da er den Zeitgenossen als Architekt des Königs galt. Er widmete sich nun der theoretischen Arbeit und entfaltete seine Vision des modernen Architekten.



Review Quotes




"It could be argued that Ledoux merits consideration as an architecte-philosophe in his own right, capable not only of registering the philosophical questions and concerns of his time, but also of articulating them in the particular terms of architecture. While these and other questions remain yet to be fully explored, Anthony Vidler has laid the considerable groundwork for further understanding "a Ledoux still posing questions" not only to his own time, but also to architecture and urbanism in our own." (Paul Holmquist, Montreal Architectural Review, Vol. 8, No. 1 2022)
