The habitations of man in all ages
A survey of dwellings through history, written by the French architect Viollet-le-Duc and translated by Benjamin Bucknall, published in Boston in 1876 for a general readership interested in architecture. The pictures are plain ink line drawings of building plans, reconstructed courtyard houses, a multi-storey stone dwelling and a pair of kiln-like hearths with a scale bar, giving a designer clear models for layout, massing and vernacular stonework.
