• Resumen

  • The article discusses visual strategies in engravings depicting buildings and architectural designs by 18th-century French architect Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, which he included as illustrations in his 1804 book "L'architecture considerée sous le rapport de l'art, des mœurs et de la législation." The author compares Ledoux's renditions of real and imaginary structures to similar contemporaneous architectural and scientific sketches, as well as to theories of perception and the senses, particularly seeing and vision, in the arts and philosophy of the time. He also considers connections between Ledoux's theories and those of French philosopher Étienne Bonnot de Condillac.
