Description

Explore the life and legacy of Francois Blondel through this comprehensive study from Routledge. As the first director of the Academie royale d'architecture, Blondel created a lasting model for architectural education that helped move the profession away from its medieval roots. This book examines how he transformed the field into the structured discipline we recognize today. Known for his 1676 urban plan of Paris, Blondel was much more than an architect. He was a mathematician, scientist, and scholar who represented the deep connection between architecture and the scientific advancements of the seventeenth century. This work serves as the first full-length study in English focused on this remarkable polymath. Whether you are a student of architectural history or a scholar of the early modern period, this book provides essential context on how science and design merged during a transformative era. It adds significant value to the existing scholarship on early modern architectural history by offering a deep look at a figure who bridged the gap between art and the new science.
