Description
Viollet-le-Duc, the restorer of Notre-Dame and of Carcassonne, wrote Histoire d'une maison to teach architecture by narrative: a young man undertakes to build a house, and the reader follows every decision — the site, the foundations, the framing, the roof, the cost — with the author's own drawings at each step.
It is the clearest statement of his rationalist doctrine, and was read by generations of architects, Frank Lloyd Wright among them.
This is a faithful print-on-demand facsimile of the 1873 Paris (Hetzel) edition, reproduced in full from a library copy. The historical text is reproduced without modification; only the format, margins and legibility have been reset for modern printing.
