Résumé
This article aims to shed light on the exchange of technical knowledge between architects,master craftsmen and workmen on building sites at the end of the eighteenth century. Inthe Age of Enlightenment, major building sites were places where a large number of skilledpractitioners of various ranks met (engineers, architects, contractors, experts, craftsmen).These were therefore places where the exchange of knowledge and know-how occurred butalso places of struggle for power and knowledge. The article examines these exchanges andstruggles using the case study of the building site for the dome of the Halle au Blé in Paris(1782-1783).
