- Abstract :
- Assesses the possible influence of Colonna's Hypnerotomachia on the 18th c. French architect. Notes that in unpublished writings François-Joseph Belanger stated that Ledoux had indeed read the French translation of the text. Draws numerous parallels between descriptions of architecture in Colonna's book and designs by Ledoux, pointing in particular to features such as an interest in the sublime, the use of simple geometric forms, and the fact that each building or monument in the Hypnerotomachia and in the oeuvre of Ledoux has an individual and distinctive character. ;
