Summary:

Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736-1806), créateur inspiré du siècle des Lumières, est sans conteste l'un des plus grands noms de l'histoire de l'architecture. Architecte du roi, visionnaire utopiste, mais également théoricien, il développa une oeuvre difficile classer. C'est Louis XV qui le nomme, en 1771, "commissaire aux salines de Lorraine et de Franche-Comté". Concrètement, il s'agit de la commande de l'usine monumentale d'Arc-et-Senans, destinée à la production de sel, qui doit répondre à trois exigences : utiliser au mieux un emplacement à proximité d'une source d'énergie considérable (la forêt de Salins), concevoir des bâtiments qui répondent à des normes d'exploitation rationnelles, créer une architecture qui concilie habitat ouvrier et exigences d'une entreprise royale.0Dès lors, au delà de la stricte commande passée, Ledoux va concevoir ex-nihilo une ville idéale. Seuls les bâtiments industriels et la maison du directeur seront construits. Aujourd'hui encore, ils témoignent de la profonde originalité et du talent exceptionnel déployé par l'architecte. Cette monographie replace la saline royale au coeur de l'oeuvre de Ledoux, comme les barrières de Paris (dont celles d'Enfer, du Trône, de la Villette et de Monceau existent toujours), le pavillon de Louveciennes construit pour sa protectrice, Madame du Barry, le théâtre de Besançon ou le château de Bénouville.
