Description
LAUGIER, Marc-Antoine - Observations on architecture. La Haye, se trouve à Paris, Desaint, 1765. In-12, XVI, 326 pp, contemporary marbled fawn calf, smooth spine decorated.
First edition. Completes the Essai sur l'architecture published in 1753. A long section of the work is devoted to ''la manière de tracer les plans des bâtiments''. Laugier shows himself to be freer than in the Essai. iI brings the art of the architect closer to that of the landscape gardener, and is interested in new configurations, professing an anti-academic point of view (V. Baldine Saint Girons, Esthétiques du XVIIIe siècle, p. 534).
