Durand, Jean-Nicolas-Louis, 1760-1834, Normand, Charles Pierre Joseph, 1765-1840 · 1823 · Paris · 18 pictures

Précis des leçons d'architecture is an 1823 Paris treatise by J.-N.-L. Durand and C.P.J. Normand, written as teaching material for students at the École royale polytechnique. The plates are engraved architectural drawings of plans, elevations and sections for a student audience. Designers can use them for their geometric clarity: plans show column grids and room layouts in simple linework, and the elevations show repeated arches and bays that suggest modular, systematic pattern.
