Commentary
Fondée en 1671, à l'initiative de Colbert, l'Académie d'architecture est la dernière académie royale créée. Elle siège d'abord au Louvre, puis, à partir de 1692, au Palais-Royal. Elle réunit les plus qualifiés des architectes du Roi, qui ont pour missions de jouer un rôle de conseil et d'expertise auprès de l'administration des bâtiments, de définir les règles de la "belle architecture", et de former un séminaire de jeunes architectes. En 1676, le titre d'architecte du Roi se trouve réservé aux seuls membres de l'Académie, ce qui achève de distinguer les architectes des maîtres-maçons. Quelques grands noms : Bruand, Le Pautre, Le Vau.
