Architecture, Print Culture and the Public Sphere in Eighteenth-Century France by Richard Wittman
Offering a new and highly original account of eighteenth-century French architecture, this book is framed specifically around the relation to the structural transformation of the early modern public sphere. Analysing the change in architectural practice, theory, patronage, and reception when confronted by the mass public of eighteenth-century France, Wittman offers an engaging systematic survey of French architecture of that era. Comprising detailed studies of public debates that erupted around major Parisian monuments, as well as across the urban fabric of Paris, this text offers a new reading on a turning point in the history of architecture, and its absorption into a nascent mass-media culture. |
