Considérations sociales sur l'architectonique
A French treatise on architecture and society by Victor Considerant, published in Paris in 1834 by the Palais-Royal booksellers and tied to Charles Fourier's ideas on collective settlements. The single picture is a rotated engraving of a long, symmetrical phalanstery-style building with wings and a central block, set among trees and a surrounding landscape. A designer could draw on its rigid, repeating facade rhythm and the way a planned community is laid out as one connected structure within open ground.
