M. J. L. Pascal - Concours Rougevin & Godeboeuf - 1902

Beautiful illustrated edition of 136 plates of this educational work dedicated to preparing for architecture competitions organized under the patronage of Rougevin and Godeboeuf, two figures associated with the technical and artistic training of future French architects at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

Intended mainly for students of architecture schools, schools of fine arts, and technical establishments, the work gathers a complete method for preparing for the competitive exams in architectural design, drawing, construction, and theory, based on the requirements of the most prestigious competitions of the era.

The author presents the fundamental principles of architectural design, emphasizing the study of classical orders, proportions, symmetry, balance of masses, the distribution of spaces, and the overall harmony of buildings.

He explains the methods for analyzing a competition brief, conceiving a coherent project, and developing plans, sections, elevations, and perspectives, while respecting the functional, aesthetic, and technical constraints imposed by the juries.
