Project for a metropole

Project for a metropole

"Project for a metropole" is an architecture plan by Étienne-Louis Boullée designed around 1781. It deals with light, as done many of his designs, as an important element. Light is a metaphor for enlightenment as is darkness for ignorance. The plan features columns spaced closer together then the for classical architecture would have them be placed and oversized pendentives.
