st. jean de montmartre, 19 rue des abbesses, paris, france 1894-1904. architect: joseph-eugène anatole de baudot, 1834-1915. structural engineer: paul cottancin, 1865-1920. if you've read kenneth frampton, you'll know de baudot's church in montmartre. I had to see it for myself when I realized it was only a handful of arrondissements away... de baudot was a pupil and disciple of henri labrouste and viollet-le-duc and as concerned with construction as his teachers. his church in montmartre, begun in the architect's sixtieth year, is an early example of reinforced concrete construction, done according to a recently invented system (cottancin) consisting of hollow bricks acting as the formwork for plain concrete in compression only, with reinforcements made as a woven wire mesh in the concrete and iron rods in the brickwork. frampton makes a point of how baudot's chosen, labour-intensive system of construction lost its appeal after only a few years, when the modern way of building with reinforced concrete was introduced. I cannot be the only one wondering how baudot's vaults relate to the brick and concrete vaults of eladio dieste, done some fifty years later in his native uruguay. certainly, the slender dimensions are comparable. as goes for the availability of cheap labour, one could add. de baudot's neo-gothic comes in a beautifully subdued art nouveau wrapping, its red brick adding warmth to a neighbourhood otherwise dominated by white facades. there is real drama in how the church meets the mont of montmartre, as suggested here by the dormer window near what one would expect to be the base of the brickwork in the lower left hand corner of the photo. an aerial photo shows it better; how the church sits there like some great stranded ship on a hillside with houses gathering around it. not a bad image of what a church is. this photo was uploaded with a CC license and may be used free of charge and in any way you see fit. if possible, please name photographer "SEIER+SEIER". if not, don't.
