The author examines archival documents such as letters, contracts, account books, drawings, city views and maps in order to assess the contribution of builders and clients to the architectural designs of that period. Each chapter deals with the design process of a specific building or building type, and examines in detail such questions as the ambiguity of the architect's role, the client's preoccupation with prestige as well as his awareness of the city's image as portrayed in city views.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marc Grignon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082042515X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820425153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 295\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Marc Grignon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48448991428863,"sku":"9780820425153","price":67.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6622a715-2c62-4240-a102-7370b1382bf2.jpg?v=1777261471","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/loing-du-soleil-marc-grignon-9780820425153","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
