The treatise of Pierre LeMUET (from Dijon) on

„sound building of townhouses” was approx. six

times reprinted until 1723, and also translated into

English to serve to become an influential guide for the rebuilding of London after the Great Fire of

1666. LeMuet was surely influenced by SERLIO’s

printed and unprinted design materials. It looks

probable on one hand that LeMuet adapted the

clarity of Serlio’s Italian design to French prefe-

rences, on the other hand that LeMUET was also

been influenced by particular French TVA. His

influence on the design of townhouse everywhere in France - particularly at Paris - was strong in the

urban French urban architecture until ca. 1900.
