With an insightful text by Bertrand Lemoine and more than 170 photographs and drawings, most in full color, this book captures France's rich and diverse architecture from a century known for its opulence, eclecticism, and innovation. The Napoleonic era gave rise to Neoclassical monuments that recalled Imperial Rome. The grand projects of the Second Empire created much of the Paris we know today: for example, Charles Garnier's Iavish Opera House, the expanded Louvre, and the stately boulevards of Baron Haussmann's city plan. New towns, suburbs, and resorts were developed to accommodate a growing middle-class population, encouraging a demand for houses in a range of fanciful styles based on vernacular sources - Mediterranean villas, Norman castles, and Alpine chalets - and displaying picturesque elements such as turrets, bow windows, and decorative brick and terra-cotta decoration. And the latter half of the century produced many milestones of early modern architecture such as the masterful Neo-Grec libraries of Henri Labrouste, the dramatic iron structures of Gustave Eiffel, and the flamboyant Art Nouveau designs of Hector Guimard.

La Fantastique Histoire de la Tour Eiffel

Ouest-France *

Fruit de l'imagination d'un ingénieur, défi technique sans précédant, la Tour Eiffel fut le clou de l'Exposition universelle de 1889, avant de s'inscrire durablement dans le paysage parisien et de devenir un symbole universel de modernité. Cet ouvrage évoque l'incroyable aventure de sa conception et de sa construction, décrit sa puissance de séduction pour les artistes et sa valeur mythologique, et raconte en anecdotes et en chiffres tout ce qu'il faut savoir sur la Tour aujourd'hui.

In the 20th century, France has proved astonishingly fertile ground for modern architecture. The architectural ideas of Modernism and the avant garde are firmly rooted here and dominate the French architectural landscape unlike in any other country. Her architects are acclaimed throughout the world. Paris, a center for international architecture, rightly forms the focus of this guidebook with more than 100 notable buildings. However, this guidebook also does justice to the entire country with more than 450 buildings from all regions. The buildings are documented with photographs, drawings and texts, providing a comprehensive and portable guide.

The iron colossus: The construction of the Eiffel Tower in drawings and photographs When it was completed in 1889, the Eiffel Tower was the highest structure in the world, measuring 300 meters (984 feet). Built for the World’s Fair, it was initially granted a 20-year permit; this permit was thankfully extended and now the Eiffel Tower is one of the world’s most famous structures, having become practically synonymous with Paris itself and receiving more than six million visitors annually. This reprint explores the design and construction of this remarkable building; published in 1900 as a large folio by Gustave Eiffel himself in a limited edition of 500 copies, the original was never sold on the market—it was exclusively given and donated by Eiffel. Featuring 53 double-page plates of 4,300 technical drawings explaining the design as well as 33 photographs of the construction, the book reveals the complex and fascinating process of bringing the Eiffel Tower to life. Though the technical drawing will especially appeal to designers wishing to discover the engineering genius behind Eiffel’s masterpiece, everyone can appreciate this very rare and special book about Paris’s glorious mascot. “This book illustrates the truly remarkable engineering that is the Eiffel Tower and whilst appealing to enthusiasts, can be appreciated by everyone.” –FRENCH MAGAZINE, London Text in English, French, and German
