Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox person Joseph-Eugène-Anatole de Baudot (14 October 1834 – 28 February 1915) was a French architect and a pioneer of reinforced-concrete construction. He was a prolific author, architect for diocesan buildings, architect for historical monuments, and a professor of architecture. He is known for the church of Saint-Jean-de-Montmartre in Paris, the first to be built using concrete reinforced with steel rods and wire mesh.

Life

Anatole de Baudot was born on 14 October 1834 in Sarrebourg. He attended the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under Henri Labrouste and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.Шаблон:Sfn He won the Grand Prix de Rome.

From 1863, De Baudot was involved in the subject of education of architects, related to reform of the Beaux-Arts, writing several articles on the subject.Шаблон:Sfn In 1865 he was among the first members of the École Spéciale d'Architecture. Others were Ferdinand de Lesseps, Émile Pereire, Eugène Flachat, Jacques-Charles Dupont de l'Eure, Jean-Baptiste André Godin, Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and Émile Muller.

Anatole de Baudot became a respected writer on architectural subjects for journals such as the Gazette des architectes and the Encyclopédie de l'architecture. He was employed by the government in 1873 as an architect for diocesan buildings. In 1879 he was appointed to the historical monuments committee, eventually becoming inspector-general in 1907. From 1887 to 1914 he was also a professor of History of Art at the Trocadéro. De Baudot retired in 1914 and died in Paris on 28 February 1915.

Journalist

De Baudot contributed to the Gazette des architectes et du bâtiment (1865-1871).Шаблон:Sfn His influence converted the journal into a more serious publication, reducing the number of articles that served as advertising.Шаблон:Sfn He was a polemic writer, denouncing the decline of architecture in the 19th century, whose roots he traced to the abandonment of Gothic architecture principles in the 17th and 18th centuries. He also blamed the teaching at the Beaux-Arts.Шаблон:Sfn

After November 1888 De Baudot was head of the Encyclopédie de l'architecture, and with his collaborators Paul Gout and Henri Chaine devoted the journal to promoting modernist concepts.Шаблон:Sfn He would remain in charge until 1892.Шаблон:Sfn He introduced photography of archaeological sites and of monuments. A series covered the buildings erected for the Exposition Universelle (1889).Шаблон:Sfn In 1890 De Baudot also became responsible for publication of the Bulletin de l'Union syndicale des architectes français. This may have served as a distraction from his work on the encyclopedia.Шаблон:Sfn

Anatole de Baudot took great interest in churches. He noted that the practical problem to be solved was the same in the 19th century as in the 13th century.Шаблон:Sfn In an 1866 article in the Gazette he pointed out that the main requirements for church builders were to cover large spaces with few internal supports so that many believers could move easily, and to meet the needs of the religion.Шаблон:Sfn In 1869 he published Église du bourgs et de villages, which discussed and compared old and modern forms of churches, arguing the case for constant improvements in architectural design.Шаблон:Sfn

The minister for public education and cults designated him architect of diocesan buildings in 1873, and he rose to the position of inspector general of diocesan buildings in 1879.Шаблон:Sfn De Baudot was made a member of the Committee on Historical Monuments on 27 March 1879. He was appointed Vice-President of the Commission of Historical Monuments in 1880. In 1907 he was appointed Inspector General of Historical Monuments.

In 1882 Anatole de Baudot was appointed architect for the new Lycée Lakanal, a boarding school in Sceaux set in the former park of the Duchess of Maine. It included the administration building, classrooms, studies and dormitories, baths, kitchens and dining rooms. He designed the buildings to capture as much light and air as possible. He broke with the tradition in which courtyards were surrounded by buildings. De Baudot used a combination of brick, stone and metal, creating a polychrome design. His buildings were modern and functional.Шаблон:Sfn

De Baudot was interested in exploring use of new materials as a vehicle for expressing new architectural ideas, and became interested in the potential of reinforced concrete.Шаблон:Sfn He adopted the system developed by Paul Cottancin, an engineer from the Ecole centrale des arts et manufactures, based on columns and arches of cement reinforced by iron rods and a wire mesh.Шаблон:Sfn He said that this material gave the architect a simplified way to ensure unity of structure.Шаблон:Sfn

De Baudot's design for the church of Saint-Jean-de-Montmartre, Paris, whose construction started in 1894, was the first to use a reinforced concrete framework enclosed by thin exterior walls.Шаблон:Sfn His Théatre de Tulle was built between 1899 and 1902 on the site formerly occupied by a 17th-century Jesuit chapel. It was one of the first to be built of reinforced cement. The facade was polychrome, incorporating sandstone, limestone, ceramics, colored glass and brick.Шаблон:Sfn

Professor

In 1887 De Baudot was appointed titular professor of medieval and renaissance architecture at the Beaux-Arts.Шаблон:Sfn The same year he was appointed to the chair of History of Art at the Trocadéro, where he became interested in the study of Roman architecture in France. De Baudot would remain at the Trocadéro until 1914.Шаблон:Sfn

Views

De Baudot followed Viollet-le-Duc as a proponent of Structural Rationalism.Шаблон:Sfn Although a firm believer in progress in architecture, he felt that understanding the great periods of historical architecture were important to addressing modern challenges.Шаблон:Sfn He supported the creation of a course on the history of medieval architecture at the Beaux Arts, since this knowledge was essential for architects responsible for restoring buildings from that period.Шаблон:Sfn He was against mixing historical styles, making "irrational" use of columns and orders, and using stone in place of modern materials.Шаблон:Sfn

De Baudot was never able to completely shake off traditional ideas.Шаблон:Sfn He saw architectural research as primarily one of technical problems. He was less perceptive of the social needs of the occupants of the buildings. This was apparent in a 1905 plan he submitted for a public housing project with small and inaccessible interior yards, brick walls in reinforced concrete frames.Шаблон:Sfn

De Baudot was opposed to Art Nouveau.Шаблон:Sfn He believed that buildings should be "truthful" in displaying their structure. Decoration was acceptable only where it complemented the structure rather than concealing it.Шаблон:Sfn He believed in the importance of architecture appropriate for the needs of the age.Шаблон:Sfn De Baudot also called for a fresh start in developing contemporary architecture under the influence of engineers.Шаблон:Sfn In 1889, the year of the exposition, he said, Шаблон:Blockquote

However, commenting on the Galerie des machines built for the 1889 exposition, De Baudot found that the proportions did not work. He was disconcerted by the reversal of proportions from traditional structures: the supports tapered towards the ground, and the steel girders were narrow and light.Шаблон:Sfn In 1905 his alternative design was published, enclosing an equal area with supporting pillars and arches that had more conventional proportions. His design required fewer but larger pillars, and combined lateral and longitudinal arches Шаблон:Sfn
