Roof Frames from the 11th to the 19th Century. Typology and development in Northern France and in Belgium,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2010 Paperback, 376 p., 220 x 280 mm. ISBN 9782503529875.
In 1927, the architect in charge of historical monuments, Henri Deneux, published the first study devoted to the development of carpentry from the eleventh century forward. Research has made considerable progress in the field since then, particularly thanks to the contribution of dendrochronology, which appeared in France during the period 1970-1980, allowing precise dating of materials to be provided based on the study of tree rings. This book is the result of collaboration between architects, university scholars, Belgian and French dendrochronologists, and offers a synthesis with regard to carpentry from the XIth through the XIXth century, from north of the Loire to Belgium. It contains a typological and chronological classification with 300 examples of carpentry constructions, and a catalogue of beautiful models preserved at the Centre for research on Historical monuments in Paris. It is a valuable reference work for all those ? art historians, architects, building restorers ? who are interested in this topic. New.

Voici une suite aux Charpentes de la France du Nord et de Belgique de 2002. Elle reprend la methodologie visant a comprendre l'evolution des charpentes de toiture du XIe au XIXe siecle a travers une typo-chronologie. basee sur une chronologie solide, notamment grace a la dendrochronologie. L'aire visitee est un vaste ? Grand Ouest ? , de la Normandie a l'Aquitaine, en passant par la Bretagne, les Pays de Loire et la region Centre. Le territoire est largement couvert - essentiellement grace a la documentation de la Mediatheque de l'architecture et du patrimoine et en s'aidant de collaborations exterieures - mais de facon inegale car il fallait tenir compte d'imperatifs pragmatiques et dresser un etat de la question. Outre l'evolution des techniques, le lecteur decouvrira differents aspects de l'art de la charpente en France, avec ses specificites regionales. Plusieurs specialistes apportent leurs lumieres qu'ils soient historien de l'art, architecte, archeologue, ethnologue, ingenieur ou dendrochronologue. Nouveau.
