This book is the fictional biography of the architect Jean-François-Thérèse Prieur.
The book includes a text telling us the life of Jean-François-Thérèse Prieur, born in 1778, and numerous illustrations: architect drawings, sketches, photographs of time …
He imagines buildings that have no social utility and does not build any of its projects. For him, the drawing is an end in itself.
The useless, absurd and non-building are the main characters architecture invented by Jean-François-Thérèse Prieur.
His megalomania led him to color the entire Great Wall of China or the pyramids of Egypt.
