| description | According to his own expression, François Cointeraux (1740-1830) had wielded « both trowel and hammer, and both spade and hoe ». He is consequently one of the rare theoreticians of rural architecture who can claim to belong to the labouring classes and who can approach the question not from the superior viewpoint of the great landowner, the agronomist or the architect, but from a point of view close to the terrain. Nonetheless, if he can make a claim to this status which distinguishes him from other observers and which puts him in closer proximity with his subject, his activity is not limited to merely practical considerations. He is in conflict with the elites as to their intellectual and cultural authority in the rural world, and he brings to his arguments a real literary talent, a certain sense of the formula and even of publicity. At the beginning of a century when publications specialising in rural architecture were beginning to become more frequent, Cointeraux is one of the first to occupy the field, and although his main centre of interest is in constructions made out of rammed earth; his other interests are many and varied and address all the questions concerning the life and work of the farmer. |
