L' Architecture Françoise Des Bastimens Particuliers
L'Architecture Françoise des Bastimens Particuliers is a 1685 French treatise on domestic architecture by Louis Savot, edited by François Blondel, written for builders and architects. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of arches, vaults and wall thicknesses, with lettered points and construction lines drawn in black on pale paper, showing how a curved arch is laid out geometrically, useful to a designer for simple structural diagrams and labelled schematic plans.
