Grands prix d'architecture : projets couronnés par l'Académie royale des beaux arts de France
A French prize-competition album of architectural designs, compiled in Paris in 1818 by Vaudoyer and Baltard for the Académie royale des beaux-arts and its students. The plates are measured elevations, plans and sections of prize-winning buildings, mostly monuments and churches. The pictures are crisp black-line drawings with grey wash on cream paper, showing ground plans with rhythmic colonnades, symmetrical courtyards and stepped sections a designer could use for classical layout and spatial order.
