Viollet-le-Duc is a fictional work written in the mid-19th century. This story combines elements of architecture with narrative, focusing on the journey of a young student named Paul who aspires to design and construct a house for his recently married sister. Through Paul's experiences and interactions, the book illustrates the practical and theoretical aspects of architecture while delving into themes of family, tradition, and the relationship between people and their homes. At the start of the novelette, we are introduced to Paul, a sixteen-year-old student returning home for summer vacation. Initially filled with youthful enthusiasm, Paul soon faces ennui as he exhausts his local surroundings and yearns for a purposeful endeavor. Inspired by a conversation between his parents about building a house for his sister, Paul finds motivation and begins to contemplate the design. With the help of his architect cousin Eugène, he embarks on a creative journey that invites him to apply his academic insights while grappling with practical building challenges. As he sketches plans and engages in discussions about architecture, Paul learns valuable lessons that blend artistic vision with the realities of construction.
