His choice to identify the production of the three protagonist as “revolutionary”, beyond every political involvement on their part, an d even if they had often work for aristocratic sponsors, links their arti stic expressions with the historical events. In one way, the Austrian his torian, according to a Twentieth century’s concept, transforms them comm itted artists.Based on researches held during the last decade, the altern ative trio presented in this conference relies instead on biographic and h istorical elements. Being or not “revolutionary”, François Cointeraux (17 40-1830), Jean Jacques Lequeu (1757-1826) and Charles Percier (1764-1838) went through the Revolution and their lives, as artist and as men, had been powerfully impacted by it. In different ways their three parcourses b egun in the 1780s and, successful or not, they had to adapt to a quickly changing reality. Their achievements and their fields of intervention are also of different kinds, although one could say that they are three “arc hitects of the book”, with a strong cultural dimension. They don’t embody a style, or not even the formal expression of a particular moment, but the diversity of what could potentially be “architecture” at the beginning of a news area of uncertainty, full of astonishing attempts, great real izations and admirable failures.Bio:Jean-Philippe Garric was born in Toulo use (France) in 1961. After graduating in architecture at the school of ar chitecture of Toulouse in 1985, he moved to Paris and begun to work in th e field of architectural culture, at the Institue Français d’Architectur e (Paris).
