«Vitruve et le vitruvianisme» is Georg Germann's essay on architectural theory, in paperback (PPUR, 300 pages, in French).
Germann examines architectural theory as a literary and artistic discourse, expressed in treatises, chronicles, pamphlets and even utopias. Starting from Vitruvius's «Ten Books on Architecture», he traces its echo in the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and the modern era, and describes the rise and decline of Vitruvianism as a doctrine.
French translation of the 2nd edition of the German work «Einführung in die Geschichte der Architekturtheorie» (1987). Part of the Architecture collection from PPUR.
Aimed at architecture students, architects and historians interested in architectural theory and the reception of Vitruvius.
