Summary
Françoise Choay's contributions to urban morphology and historiography are highlighted through her participation in the 1985 Seminar 'Morphologie urbaine et parcellaire' at Arc-et-Senans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site designed by Ledoux. Her work, particularly in 'La règle et le modèle' (1980) and 'L'Urbanisme: Utopies et Réalités' (1965), offers a critique of urban morphology that remains relevant today. The study compares her insights with contemporary research from the International Seminar on Urban Form (ISUF) and the Portuguese Network of Urban Morphology (PNUM). Choay's dedication to etymology and her interdisciplinary approach, blending architecture, philosophy, and historiography, provide a unique lens for understanding urban development and its theoretical foundations.
