Classical Concept of Andrea Palladio’s forma in the Theory, the Design Process and the Drawings of Étienne-Louis Boullée: Architecture. Essai sur l’Art, Cénotaphe à Newton y Bibliothèque Nationale. An. Inst. Investig. Estét [online]. 2023, vol.45, n.123, pp.67-118.  Epub 08-Nov-2024. ISSN 0185-1276.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iie.18703062e.2023.123.2823.

This article analyzes the thinking, architecture, and drawings of Étienne-Louis Boullée under the perspective of the classical principle of form as interpreted by Andrea Palladio; it offers a reading informed by Palladio’s theory, creative process, and drawings in his I Quattro libri dellArchitettura, with emphasis on invention and the dialectical relationship between theory, disegno and forma regarding the intelligible and sensitive aspect of design. Special attention is paid, on the one hand, to Boullée’s assimilation of humanistic notions of disegno, imitazione, natura, idea, invenzione, figura and bellezza, among others, supported by the Vitruvian principle of form, which became fun damental elements in reflections on aesthetics and theory of design during the 1500s; on the other hand, the article addresses the form-space interrelationship in composition expressed in the abstraction of Palladio and Boullée’s drawings.
