Marc-Antoine Laugier (1713-1769) was a French priest who denied the richness of Baroque
architecture common in his life. He went much forward from Perrault. His goal was to create a
fully mind-bought architecture, devoted his time to studying current architectural theories that
created a list of errors, including columns, entablatures and facades. Thus, only the real
architecture remains for him, pretending to eliminate the existing distinction between structure 'The Primitive Hut',
and decoration. His main model was neither gothic nor greek he directly referred to Vitruvius. frontispiece of the

sustainable structure, style multiplicity, living with nature and individuality. Essai sur l'architecture,
1755. Designed by
Charles Eisen.
In the 1755 edition of Essai sur Architecture, Abbe Marc-Antoine Laugier presents a drawing of
the primitive hut. For Laugier, the primitive hut represents the first architectural idea. The hut is an
abstract concept. Although it is an imaginary "house", it has an important meaning for us,
because this material structure is an emblem of prosperity and housing art.
