Description

This book looks at the nineteenth-century Paris Academy of Fine Arts to trace the formation of an architectural elite and its career paths. It presents these contexts using the example of the architect Jakob Ignaz Hittorff, who designed the Place de la Concorde and the Gare du Nord. A comprehensive overview of Parisian urban architecture discusses epochal innovations like street furniture, iron architecture, the leisure industry, and technocracy.
