Résumé (en anglais)

Between 1817 and 1826 the central precinct of the University of Virginia was built by Thomas Jefferson, a "gentleman architect" who had already served his country as ambassador to France and President. He called it the Academical Village, emphasizing that all activities of daily life and academia should be served by an arrangement of man-made structures integrated with the landscape. The buildings also served as textbooks of classical detailing and embodiments of neoclassical ideals. Here Jefferson stated his admiration for a cultivated European heritage as the foundation for cultural developments in the New World. It remains unique in the Americas.
