• Resumen

  • An analysis of the writings of Jacques Fraņcois Blondel shows how the Antique in architecture has been a moving term of comparison. It was the target of polemics, but also the prestigious counterpart to the “French modern architecture” that was the subject of Blondel's writings. Thus, the question of a work's declared “modernity” can be considered in Maisons de Plaisance; the role of history and of erudition can be examined in L'Architecture Fraņcaise; and, in the Cours d'Architecture, the traces of a conflict on the subject of the Antique which separated Blondel from his former students can be discerned.
