Laugier, Abbé Marc-Antoine (1713–69). French Jesuit, he became one of the earliest and most important theorists of
Neo-Classicism. His
Essai sur l'Architecture (1753) was profoundly influential, setting out a rational interpretation of
Classicism as a logical, straightforward expression of the need for shelter, derived from the
Primitive Hut of tree-trunks supporting a structure. He extolled the need for columns as opposed to those of the
engaged variety or
pilasters, and argued for a return to
Antique principles as an antidote to all the accretions from the
Renaissance period onwards that had hidden the essence of the origins of
columnar and
trabeated construction. The immediate influence of his views was on
Soufflot, but translations into English and German carried them throughout Europe. In his
Observations sur l'Architecture (1765) he recognized the grace of
Gothic.
