Giudici, Maria Sheherazade, 2013, Book Section, Specific Spaces: Government and the Emergence of architecture d’accompagnement, 1584–1765 The City as a Project. Ruby Press. ISBN 978-3-944074-06-1
Abstract or Description: | Architecture d’accompagnement, or formulaic architecture, developed in Paris during the 1600s – a period marked by the emergence of modern government models. Accompagnement is a simplified classicism, devoid of figurative details and reduced to its most abstract form: an architecture that, for the first time, is concerned with the framing of empty (public) space rather than with the embellishment of (private) built space. With its deliberate blankness, accompagnement shifts the focus of architecture from the objects to the milieu. |
