Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical memoir that explores the engineering and architectural design of the Panthà on in France. The renowned structure was initially a church devoted to St. Genevieve, but following the French Revolution, it was established as a secular monument honoring the nation's heroes. The author, an architect who oversaw the restoration of the Panthà on, provides an insider's perspective on the building's evolution, structural challenges, and artistic significance. The book delves into the intricate construction techniques employed in the massive dome, analyzes the structural integrity of the supporting pillars, and examines the aesthetic details and symbolism of the building's sculptures and ornamentation. Through a detailed examination of the Panthà on, this book sheds light on architectural advancements during the 18th century and explores the intersection of engineering and artistic vision in creating a lasting monument to France's heritage.
