Abstract (en)

Focuses on the following aspects of Ledoux's career and oeuvre: his architectural education; the development of his personal idiom as a domestic architect (hôtels and châteaux, 1749-1762); the Saline de Chaux in Arc-et-Senans; institutions of public order, 1780-1789 (e.g. the theater of Besançon, the Palais de Justice of Aix-en-Provence, and the Paris tollgates); the ideal city of Chaux; and his activity after the Revolution.
