Synopsis
Contributing Authors
Reviews

L’Architecture harmonique is the first treatise devoted to the relationship between music and architecture, the first written by a musician. The text is not currently in print and has been unavailable for a long time. This treatise is of paramount importance, however, as far as the analogy between musical and architectural proportions is concerned.

Review - French L'Architecture harmonique est le premier traite dedie a l'application des proportions musicales a l'architecture, et le premier ecrit par un musicien et non pas un architecte : Rene Ouvrard (1624-1694), maitre de musique de la Sainte-Chapelle de Paris. Commande par Colbert pendant l'affaire du Louvre, reponse au De architectura de Vitruve traduit par Perrault, mais connu essentiellement par le resume qu'en fit Blondel dans son Cours d'architecture, il est mentionne par Le Camus de Mezieres dans son Genie de l'architecture. Il n'existe aucune edition integrale de ce texte, longtemps inaccessible. Son importance demeure pourtant primordiale, pour ce qui concerne les rapports entre musique et architecture : l'Architecture harmonique offre aussi une synthese de l'encyclopedisme humaniste, eclaire les origines de la querelle des Anciens et des Modernes et s'enracine dans le parcours qui amene a la naissance de l'esthetique.
