Versailles: The phenomenology of architectural form

The architectural evolution of the Palace and Park of Versailles is revealed as a unique spatial artistic experience that transitions from Baroque theatricality to Rococo and early classicism, reflecting the socio-cultural dynamics of court society. This study identifies how the palace's form-making process constitutes a distinct semantic space, evolving from mythologized absolutist grandeur to pre-revolutionary private structuration. The research approaches this transformation through the lens of Western European architectural trends, analyzing its shift from Italian classical Baroque to national Rococo traditions.
