The Genius of Architecture; or, the Analogy of That Art with Our Sensations by Call Number: Art Library, NA2515 .L4513 1992ISBN: 0892362340Nicolas Le Camus de Mézières (1721– 1793), a fascinating and influential French Enlightenment architect, was admired for his large circular market, – the Halle au Blé (1763–67) – and this fanciful text, The Genius of Architecture; or, The Analogy of That Art with Our Sensations (1780). In part a handbook on the planning of the French hôtel, in part a sensationalist exploration of form and its sentimental or expressive value, Le Camus argues that architecture should please the senses as well as the mind, supplying the theoretical underpinning for the formal explorations of Etienne-Louis Boullée, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, and John Soane.
