Description
Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806) ist der "kuhnste und extremste" (Nikolaus Pevsner) franzoesische Revolutionsarchitekt. Seit seiner Wiederentdeckung durch Emil Kaufmanns beruhmte Studie "Von Ledoux bis Le Corbusier" in den dreissiger Jahren sind seine visionaren und doch vielfach ausgefuhrten Architekturen eine Inspirationsquelle fur aussergewoehnliche Entwurfe. Seine beruhmten Zoll- und Wachhauser sind jedem kulturinteressierten Parisreisenden prasent, und auch der Fernsehfilm uber die Koenigliche Saline von Arc-et-Senans hat seine populare Wirkung erneut unter Beweis gestellt.

Description
Claude-Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806) is the "boldest and most extreme" (Nikolaus Pevsner) French revolutionary architect. Since the 1930s, when he was rediscovered by Emil Kaufmann in the famous study "From Ledoux to Le Corbusier," his visionary but widely realized buildings have served as a source of inspiration for unusual designs. His famous tollgates are familiar to every cultured traveler to Paris, and the TV film on the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans has also brought fresh proof of his popular appeal.
