Précis des leçons d'architecture données à l'École royale polytechnique
Précis des leçons d'architecture is an 1823 Paris treatise by J.-N.-L. Durand and C.P.J. Normand, written as teaching material for students at the École royale polytechnique. The plates are engraved architectural drawings of plans, elevations and sections for a student audience. Designers can use them for their geometric clarity: plans show column grids and room layouts in simple linework, and the elevations show repeated arches and bays that suggest modular, systematic pattern.
