(Eugène) Du style gothique au dix-neuvième siècle Produced by Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreaders Europe team at http://dp.rastko.net "Du style gothique au dix-neuvième siècle" by Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the discourse surrounding Gothic architecture, particularly in the context of the debates among the Academy of Fine Arts regarding the appropriateness of constructing new churches in the Gothic style. The author explores various questions related to the relevance and capacity of Gothic architecture to reflect contemporary beliefs and societal needs, contributing to the understanding of architectural heritage. The opening of the book introduces a contentious debate within the Academy of Fine Arts, focusing on whether it is suitable to build Gothic-style churches in a society that has evolved since the medieval era. The central questions posed include the appropriateness of copying medieval architecture, the relationship between architecture and contemporary needs, and the recognition of Gothic architecture's significance in expressing faith. Viollet-le-Duc presents these inquiries alongside reflections on the historical evolution of Gothic architecture, defending its merits while challenging the notion that such styles are obsolete. Through this examination, he sets the stage for a broader discussion on the meaning and implications of architectural styles within the context of modernity.
