520 1 _a"Architecture, Print Culture, and the Public Sphere in Eighteenth-Century France focuses on the complex ways in which architectural practice, theory, patronage, and experience became modern with the rise of a mass public and a reconfigured public sphere between the end of the seventeenth century and the French Revolution." "Presenting both a fresh theoretical orientation and a large body of new primary research, this book otters a new cultural history of virtually all the major monuments of eighteenth-century Parisian architecture, with detailed analyses of the public debates that erupted around such Parisian monuments as the cast facade of the Louvre, the Place Louis XV [the Place de la Concorde], and the church of Sainte-Genevieve [the Pantheon]. With these investigations, Wittman also reflects upon how the transformation of the public sphere altered the human relation to architecture, and to space in general, by privileging a virtual rather than embodied experience of publicness."--BOOK JACKET.
