Architecture moderne, or L'art de bien bâtir, is an 18th-century French architectural treatise published in Paris in 1764 by a bookseller to the engineers and artillery, aimed at builders and lay readers across six books. Its pages are dense letterpress text with chapter headings, lettered geometric diagrams of arches and vaults, and a few plan drawings, so a designer can draw on the clean, technical line work of the construction figures and the classical page layout.
