Architecture moderne, ou, L'art de bien bâtir pour toutes sortes de personnes : tant pour les maisons des particuliers que pour les palais
Architecture moderne, published in Paris in 1728 by Claude Jombert with Briseux, Tiercelet and Courtonne, is an early eighteenth-century French architectural treatise on houses for private persons and palaces. Its plates are measured floor plans of rooms, staircases and courtyards, labelled in French with room names such as chambre, cabinet, cour and salle à manger. A designer can take from them the clean, schematic plan conventions of the period: thick black walls, hatched stair runs and simple lettered legends.
