Les charpentes du XIe au XIXe siècle: Grand Ouest de la France: typologie et évolution, analyse de la documentation de la Médiathèque de l'architecture et du patrimoine

This book, wich follows the number 3 in the same collection on roof frames in Northern France and Belgium, present a roof typology on "Great western France", from Normandy to Aquitaine with Brtitany and Loire Region. Research has made considerable progress in the field of history of roof construction, particulary thanks to the contribtion of dendrochronology. This is the result of collaboration between architects, university scholars, Belgian and french dendrochronologists, wich offers a synthesis on carpentry from the 11th trough the 19th century. The documentation of "Mediathèque" of architecture and french heritage in Paris was espacially used to establish a typo-chronology connected to dendrodating and some study cases.
