De la part de Stephane Van Damme

European Academies facing the question of technique in architecture(late
17th. c. -1750)
10 mars 2006-Maison Française d’Oxford


By the end of the 17th. c. fast-developing architectural techniques were
accompanied by
a growing involvement of sciences in the debates regarding building
theories. This
period of time is one of blossoming academies, both of sciences and
architecture, where
scholars and practionners meet and confront their own ideas. The aim is
to explore the
links and oppositions between the know-how of workmen and the knowledge
of natural
philosophers observed in different contexts of Europe and England.
