Summary:
Architecte, restaurateur des grands monuments historiques de la France médiévale, dont la Sainte-Chapelle, les cathédrales Notre-Dame de Paris, d’Amiens et de Reims, la Cité de Carcassonne, et le château de Pierrefonds, et théoricien de l’architecture, Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc demeure la figure centrale de l’architecture au xixe siècle — une influence qui dépasse largement le champ du patrimoine. À travers une analyse érudite et nuancée, cet ouvrage explore la pensée de l’architecte sous l’angle de l’imaginaire historique, en mettant en lumière les tensions entre sa volonté de restitution du passé et son engagement dans une modernité en devenir. En s’appuyant sur un vaste corpus de sources, l’auteur interroge les fondements psychologiques, scientifiques et politiques d’une œuvre profondément marquée par le rationalisme, le romantisme et les idéaux progressistes du xixe siècle. Ce livre propose ainsi une relecture en profondeur de Viollet-le-Duc, révélant la force de son identification au Moyen Âge et la façon originale de tourner sa pensée architecturale vers l’avenir. Il met également en évidence la nature charnière, complexe et tourmentée de la période durant laquelle l’architecte sera actif et qui s’étend des lendemains de la Révolution à l’aube de la société industrielle.

Summary:
Viollet-le-Duc (1814–1879) was nineteenth-century France’s most prominent architect and restorer. This groundbreaking study examines how he used drawing and printmaking as a mode of seeing and thinking and as a means to intensify relationships by capturing the vitality of historical worlds and hidden analogies between human culture and the natural realm. Making sense of Viollet-le-Duc’s vast graphic production, scholars consider his imaginative recreations of the most minute aspects of medieval warfare; his approach to the practical tasks of restoring very complex medieval monuments; his experiments in new means of publicly diffusing architectural ideas in the yearly Parisian salons, in didactic manuals, and in children’s books; and even a fantastic project to restitute the original structure of the formidable massif of Mont Blanc. The gamut of techniques employed by Viollet-le-Duc stretches from large painted tableaux to lithographs, steel engravings, woodcuts, gouaches, tracings, and full-scale details.

Summary:
The nineteenth century saw the emergence of a new genre of architectural writing: the grand history of world architecture. This genre often expressed a deeply Eurocentric worldview, largely dismissing non-Western architecture through narratives of historical progress and stylistic beauty. Yet even as nineteenth-century historians worked to construct an exclusive architectural canon, they were engaged in constant debate over its categories and constraints. ''Narrating the globe'' traces the emergence of this historical canon, exposing the questions and problems that prompted the canon’s very formation. Bringing together architectural historians from around the world, this collection of essays—the first comprehensive examination of the nineteenth-century architectural history survey as a literary genre—includes overviews of the origins and legacy of the global architecture survey genre, as well as close examinations of key works, including books by lesser-known but intriguing authors such as Louisa C. Tuthill, Christian L. Stieglitz, and Daniel Ramée, and the more famous surveys by James Fergusson, Franz Kugler, Banister Fletcher, and Auguste Choisy.
