Etienne-Louis Boullee's architecture flourished during a time where France was in a state of chaos. The French Revolution brought about a numerous amount of controversial political topics and with this change so did the peoples perception of architecture. However, Boullee's sketches created a vision of a post-revolution world. His sketches are extremely large in scale that is usually the central concept or focus of the building or space. Etienne-Louis Boullee was not known for his physical architecture, but his sketches were widespread for his imaginitive way of seeing the world.
