Ledoux projected the architectural ideals of the era preceding the French Revolution into a utopian vision, and indeed his most well-known projects - the Royal Saltworks of Arc-et-Senans, the tollgates of Paris, the ideal city of Chaux - reveal his allegiance to the twin principles of classicism and utopianism. Vidler interprets Ledoux's most influential buildings both aesthetically and historically.
