The Architecture of Baroque Ship Sterns and Quarter-Galleries.

该项目致力于描述和分析代表法国绝对君主制权力的庄严建筑如何在巴洛克式船尾和四分之一画廊的设计中被复制和改造。着眼于1660年至1789年的时期，它追溯了早期洛可可风格（rocaille风格）的特色图案和设计原则的起源，如不规则形状的海螺壳和不对称变形的墙板，追溯到路易十四统治时期法国造船业的首次出现，更准确地说，是在17世纪1680年代末和1690年代初。这项研究试图揭示海洋形式逐渐迁移到巴黎人hôtel的私人建筑中。其中一些内部，保存在他们的原始状态，将被调查和激光扫描。大量的文献资料（包括船舶设计和建筑图纸）将被调查，以了解建筑师（他们经常在这两个领域工作）和建筑赞助人之间紧密联系的网络，他们都以这样或那样的方式与皇家海军联系在一起。

The project undertakes to describe and analyse, how the stately architecture representing the power of the absolute monarchy in France was copied and transformed in the design of baroque ship sterns and quarter-galleries. Focussing on the period from 1660 to 1789 it traces the origins of characteristic motifs and design principles of the early Rococo (Style rocaille), such as the irregularly shaped conch shell and the asymmetrically deformed wall panel, back to its first appearance in French shipbuilding during the reign of Louis XIV, more precisely in the late 1680ies and early 1690ies of the 17th century. The research attempts to throw some light on the gradual migration of maritime forms into the private architecture of the Parisian hôtel particulier. Some of these interiors, surviving in their original state, will be surveyed and laserscanned to this end. A large body of documentary material (both ship designs and architectural drawings) will be investigated, to understand the tightly knit network of relations between architects (who often worked in both fields) and building patrons, who all were, in one way or other, linked to the Marine Royale.
