"Visually Amazing" according to Jesse M. Toms. this book shows, by way of a series of remarkable prints, the brillance and forward thinking of the neo-classical minds in France. the designs chosen to grace the pages are the best of the theorical work prodced doing this period which went on to influence the expressionist and futurist of the early 20th century. this book is a must have for anyone interested in architectural history, especially if you want to understand the foundation of some of greatest minds of the m. Fantastic book I really love the images in this book.A warning: this is a 2002 reprint of an 1968 publication, which is fine, but it means that the prints are all black and white even though the originals are (to my knowledge) mostly color renderings.

The drawings and engravings of the French visionary architects Boullee, Ledoux, and Lequeu lie on the nervous cusp of Neoclassicism and hallucination. The three designed vast, impractical monuments, villas and temples, cathedrals and libraries, incorporating motifs from the classical era informed by the new intellectual freedoms of the Enlightenment. The resulting drawings and plans are like nothing done before or since, and their daring has reverberated through to us in the work of such architects as Speer, Graves, Sant'Elia, and Stirling.
