Éléments et théorie de l'architecture; cours professé à l'École nationale et spéciale des beaux-arts
A French architecture course text by Julien Guadet and Jean Louis Pascal, published in Paris in 1909 by the Librairie de la construction moderne for students of the École nationale et spéciale des beaux-arts. Its plates are measured architectural drawings: sections, elevations and plans of colonnades, arches and building interiors, drawn in fine black line with hatched walls. A designer could take from them the clarity of section cutaways and the rhythm of repeated bays and arches as structural diagrams.
