From the jacket flap: "Etienne-Louis Boullée broke from the orgnate design of the Frenchrococo to become the most striking visionary architecture of the 18th century. His belief in the pure beauty of natural forms, especially the circle, penetrated all his work, and his characteristically chaste conception crystallised the formal and intellectual preoccupations of the Neoclassical uprising in an age of political, social and artistic revolution."
