For over two hundred years, the Beaux-Arts de Paris site has devoted a vast complex of buildings - some dating back to the seventeenth century - to the teaching of art and architecture: a place of creation and freedom without equal in the world.
In this book, Anne Debarre and Maxime Decommer, teachers and researchers at the ‘Architecture, Culture, Society’ laboratory at the École d'architecture Paris-Malaquais, bring together the architectural and educational dimensions of this exceptional site, exploring the evolution of the buildings and their uses.
More than 400 reproductions of all kinds (architectural drawings, photographs, plans, etc.) illustrate the many facets of a fascinating process: the Beaux-Arts ‘factory’.
From the buildings reallocated and then created for the Beaux-Arts de Paris, to those designed but never built; from the adaptation to pedagogical developments to the constant appropriation by students of this environment dedicated to them. This book paints an extraordinary portrait of a school that was conceived, built and lived.
La fabrique de l'École des Beaux-Arts de Paris is co-published by Beaux-Arts de Paris and École nationale supérieure d'architecture Paris-Malaquais.
