Place des Vosges, Covent Garden, urban space production, place royale, modern monarchy, seventeenth centuryAbstract
The relevant bibliography and documents concerning the history of Place des Vosges and Covent Garden during the first half of the seventeenth century are reassessed and analyzed to identify their designs' guidelines and to clarify how they were built. This analysis shows that, in the case of Place des Vosges, construction was gradual, marked by conflicts among the several agents involved. There was not a well-defined project of a place royale by the Crown. In the case of Covent Garden, it was possible to understand that the English Crown imposed the design of a place royale at first, but the resistance of the IV Earl of Bedford prevented its realization.Downloads
